Great to hear that St Blazey’s Liam Eddy is up front for Helston 3rds this evening, scoring a first half hat trick. Clearly challenging for the Peninsula League title just isn’t enough for some!

Mawnan vs Rosudgeon postponed? Surprised as Mawnan pitch usually very good in the wet. Just seen the St Ives/Praze score - it’s all to play for!

Did you also find out the Thursday evening? Assume that'll be going down as an A-W?

Culdrose have 85 players signed on and have said on the Thursday night they can’t get a team so assume it’s going down as a H-W

I’m being serious though does anyone want any sausage and chips down Buryan? There’s also a whiteboard down here with a load of nonsense on it and zero points…?

Cheers mate was a good competitive game, also good for the Buryan striker to get his first goals of the season for the Blues. Hopefully your number 9 gets some out-swinging corners next week 😞

Buryan 4-3 Falmouth United (HT 2-3) Spirited comeback from Buryan. Clearly the half time instructions on the Falmouth white board were ineffective, just a shame they didn’t stay for a beer afterwards to drown their sorrows. If anyones in the area and wants sausage and chips, there’s still loads here 👍🏻

Well it would be 10 if they could’ve got a side vs Helston earlier on in the season 😅 I just think if you can’t get a side you should lose the points and pay the fine. Especially if you’re calling off the night before. How can anyone disagree with that?

Not to be disrespectful, but it is pretty simple. Back in my day you would be messaging around and grab anyone to get the game on - people that don’t even play football would be playing full back! You didn’t want the embarrassment or to let other players and sides down. Unless you had a wedding or an excuse of equal comparison that was scheduled in months before, if you didn’t raise a side you got docked points and fined. It’s always been the case and showing leniency to this rule only encourages this behaviour. You mention giving them ‘time to pull together’ - they’ve only played 9 games!! It’s just farcical. If any sides playing today have any American lads playing, just message the league and they will give you the weekend off so you can watch the game today 🙄

Did they get given a 2 week break and no penalty as well?

Course they have! 😅 So any time a side is short, maybe a few injuries or a few missing, you can just ask for a few weeks off the night before your game and it’s granted no questions asked? What about the sides that travel with bare 11 just to get the fixture played, knowing they are in for a loss. How are decisions like this fair on them?

Rosudgeon struggling for a side? Praze with another 3 points on the board, although I bet they wish they played a few more games!

Weren't Hayle understandably given a 3 (maybe 4?) week period to get themselves sorted, with their first fixture after this period on 5th Nov? St Just received word that Hayle couldn't raise a side at 5pm on Friday 4th, so I can only assume St Just are getting the points for this? As previously mentioned in the thread, Rosudgeon and St Agnes have cancelled games and subsequently been fined and the opposition receiving the points. Hayle had the same fate earlier in the season, with their opponents receiving the points for this fixture. While I don't want to see Hayle penalised and quite honestly with one of the best set ups in the league I really hope they can sort things out, but surely there needs to be some consistency in these decisions/penalties? Is it fair the teams I've mentioned above got points deducted and fined?

Hearing St just 2s went down to 7 men and still got a result against Wendron, great effort. Meanwhile the first team beat a strong CSOM side to win their 2nd league in a row. Jurassic Park.

Would explain why nobody has heard anything haha. Cheers Dave!
