Way Of The Park

Thanks Tractor Boy St Luke's Bowl has been very good for Parkway in the last few seasons, but is probably fourth in last of priorities so is good place for rotation/trying some new faces.

Thanks to the Graham for the report. Any more detail on the trialists who came in for last night's game, and did they impress? No about Callum McGhee (St Blazey), but no idea who Ward and Dyer are.

Surprising news that Buckland Athletic, after winning their last three games (including a 4-0 away win over Bodmin in the Vase last Saturday) have sacked manager Richard Pears. They have always seemed a model club in terms of the way they are run off the pitch, and the superb ground and facilities that they have, just seems that they have lost their way on the pitch.Know that they are very keen to get promoted into step 4, and went very close back in 2017/18, but wonder if it is a panic measure this early in the season. Realise that nobody from Buckland posts on here, but would be interested to hear their thoughts on the subject, and the power dynamic at the club between Adam Castle (Director Of Football) and the first team manager as he has now dismissed two in consecutive Septembers after Craig Duff lost his job this time last year.

Excellent as ever Graham. Good to see Fletcher Williams being so influential in the game, and also Curtis Damerell getting on the scoresheet. Wonder if some of these two , and some of the other fringe players, get starts in the St Lukes Bowl game on Wednesday.

Not for this section I guess, but what is going on at Buckland? From the outside it looks like a well run club with great facilities that they are continually improving, but they cannot get it right on the field.

Looked like Bodmin were getting on a bit of a run in recent weeks, this result against a pretty average Buckland side is surprising. Back to the drawing board I guess, but wonder if a seemingly revolving door of playets is going to help with bedding down and getting a team unit going.

Really dislike these long and rambling posts.

Shows how quickly things can change (or how strange results can occur in midweek games). Last week Cally were down and out after sacking their manager, and it doesn't seem that long ago St Dennis were being talked about as having had a decent start.

Three first half goals from Adam Carter (2) and Aaron Bentley got Parkway back on winning form, and made light work of a tricky looking away fixture.

Liskeard players missing a game because they are "attending a pop concert?" I know times , and the standing of the club, have changed, but Brian Hodge would have given them this, and indeed every afternoon off. They wouldn't be picked again.

5 nil to Mousehole. And that's why I don't bet. 🙄

Parkway 0 Merthyr 1 The FA Cup adventure is over for this season. Parkway matched step 3 opposition for most of the game, but Merthyr ratcheted up the pressure in the second half and scored a winner towards the end of the match. Back to the league on Wednesday evening away to Street.

Wow, you're forecasting a goal fest there!! Can see Liskeard getting something down at Trungle Park.Looks to me like Mousehole over play at times, and a team that sits deep and is well organised can frustrate them. James Lorenz is also a guy that can take a chance when it comes.

Always the worry for clubs who have players turning out in other leagues.

Some good quality reinforcements for Bodmin last night. See that Tyler Elliott (Tiverton) and Tornado Bello (Barnstaple) were in the starting line up.
