Remembering Peter Roe this evening at Penryn v Perranwell in the St Piran’s League. Pete did so much for youth football in Cornwall, many senior sides now blessed with players who were part of Truro Grasshoppers at youth level. He was an apprentice in the great Manchester United team in the 1960s, he was a great football man and will be sadly missed. Thoughts with his friends and family at this sad time. Play on Pete 🙏.

Got told years ago to give what you see and never be afraid to flag a decision against your own team. Like Adrian on your line, I have stuck to that mantra every time I’ve run the line, if that pisses our own supporters off then that’s their problem not mine! St Day are a good side, but the Well battled for 97 minutes today, can’t deny that losing that way hurts, but you can never complain about being beaten by a better team. All the best for the rest of the season.

Perranwell v Hayle is on, but if it rains again it will be interesting……..!

Perranwell v Hayle currently 50/50, second pitch inspection at midday

Perranwell 3 - St Day 2 - a spirited fight back from a depleted Well first team saw them come from 0-2 down to nick this one with a deft penalty finish from Ketan Cooper. Red & yellow cards, some robust challenges and a couple of bad injuries, hope Luke Johnson recovers quickly from what looked like a real nasty one. Si James for the Well should also get a mention, he worked relentlessly up front on his own and was unlucky not to find himself on the scoresheet. The referee had a ‘lively’ afternoon, it’s probably best left at that!

Perranwell 3 Falmouth 9 - this was no April Fools day score line! The young Falmouth side were as outstanding as the Well were poor. No complaints with the result, the score could have been more! Kevin Knowles had a good game too, 1 pen each, but after the Well had equalised Falmouth’s opening minute goal it was pretty much one way traffic. On to the next game, but well played Falmouth.

Good summation Rappo, Reesy was outstanding in goal last night! Shame about the events after the final whistle. That sort of behaviour towards the referee has no place in football, however you think he may or may not have performed. No wonder there is a shortage of refs. Credit to the officials from Hayle for promptly restraining the individual concerned and stopping a very ugly situation becoming much worse. Very sad end to an entertaining nights football.

He was offside by two foot, there was no controversy, the flag went up early, there is no way anyone else could see or who was in line with play, accept it I don’t cheat!

Would be surprised if any are on, just walked the dog across the fields and the ground is still frozen hard under a slippery top surface, it would be dangerous at present unless something changes drastically in the next couple of hours!

Guess so, but still raining hard here!

Any news?

Fingers crossed!

Any news on the Port v Perranwell match, it’s been chucking it down here since before 5.30am, the pitch must be pretty wet?

As they say, all good things come to an end, I am hanging up the Lino’s flag this year. I will cover pre-season for The Well and then pass the flag on to whoever comes next. I wanted to say a few thank yous if you’ll indulge me, firstly to our brilliant referees, without who we wouldn’t have a game, so thank you very much. Secondly, to all the players & managers of the St Piran’s & Combo sides that I’ve had the privilege of running the line for, I hope I didn’t call it wrong too many times, my golden rule has always been to give what you see……………..good luck for the forthcoming season & for many more thereafter. Lastly, to my friends at Perranwell football club, whether players, the management team, or the committee, it’s been a real privilege to be part of this very special club. I wish you every possible success for this season & in the future, thank you for having me as part of your club. Finally, to all the Linos out there who continue to fly the flag, remember that the game wouldn’t happen without you either, & the fact that you all do it for the love of the game is something to be applauded. To one and all I salute you 👏👏👏 Hope to catch up away from the touchline sometime during the season……………..all the best! 🔵⚫️⚽️🔵⚫️⚽️

Redruth v Perranwell on a 3G is going to be fun is this wind……..! Is it really going to be on?

Ludgvan 1 Perranwell 4 #TheMightyWell are back! Notwithstanding the respective positions in the league, The Well comprehensively outplayed a Ludgvan side that benefitted from upper league ringers. A brace of goals from Dan Kim, a class finish from twinkle toed veteran Adam Selley and a long range curler from Will Snapes earned the points. Mention must also go to a midfield masterclass from Matt Lane and a “thou shall not pass” centre back performance from Dan Ferris. Thanks to Steve Annis for refereeing a game that could easily have got out of control. Onwards and hopefully upwards!

Agree with this 100%, not sure that TCFC’s application was considered solely on its merits, from a footballing perspective they should be in the league, it’s wrong that they appear to have been judged on the past. Also not sure why eastern div clubs get to vote on west div and vice versa. I hope Truro appeal and they’re successful, and before anyone says any different, it’s got nothing to do with our ground share arrangement, the more clubs, the more football for everyone, and that can only be a good thing for the health of the league.

Truro didn’t get into the league, shocked tbh

Perranwell AFC are delighted to announce that they have today agreed terms with Truro College for the use of the Tregye pitch and facilities at Carnon Downs for their 1st team home matches for the 2021/22 season. This move enables the 1st team to meet FA pitch grading requirements which were proving difficult at the KGV Playing Field in the village. The Reserves team will continue to play their home Trelawny League games at the KGV Playing Field in Perranwell. The new arrangement will include training facilities and pre-season home games being played at Tregye. It has been a difficult decision for the club’s 1st team to leave its village home of nearly 100 years, but the committee believes that this is a positive move for the future of the club and it’s ambitions to continue playing football at the highest possible level. The club is actively seeking new players for the 2021/22 season, please contact Phil Rees on 07803 002927, or Simon Fisher on 07712 435081 for details.

Earlier or later on Saturday? Earlier means more pub time.............just saying!

Good stuff 👍 Thanks, have let all the lads know 👍

Given that the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral starts at 3pm on Saturday and is to be preceded by a national minute’s silence, will kick offs be delayed until 3.05pm to allow the appropriate mark of respect?

Tough call, but the right one in the circumstances, let’s hope we can finish the league at some point, in the meantime stay safe everyone 🤞🏼

Since when did 10+ subs only equal 30 seconds of extra time, not that it would have made any difference to the result, thanks again to St Ives for agreeing to reverse the fixture and for their hospitality, Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
