Outfield player in goal? someone needs to tell him, when he wears the gloves, he can use his hands 🤦‍♂️

Maybe the sports grant is to fund a new regime 🤷🏼‍♂️

St Day could be the side to beat next year. Justin Miles Ed Timmons Luke Johnson All inbound??

Heard from a good source that Joe Cooper has left St Dennis, looks like he's on a big money move to St Blazey as well!

Don't get ahead of yourself JP, still a lot of work to do yet against a good Saltash side.

I seem to remember an old thread that listed 5/6 SWPP clubs that were at risk of being relegated, due to not keeping up with ground grading regs. Anyone know if this is still the case, or if this is likely to be enforced?

Heard a roumer that Tiverton Reserves may be still playing in the prem next year. If correct there could still be 2 teams relegated in the West?

sijames, ill be the first to point out that Mousehole aren't doing the same. There is no player budget at the club and players even pay to train. Everyone at the club has worked extremely hard, both on and off the pitch. The ambition is there and thee are a few players disappointed not to be taking promotion, but everyone has the same opinion that we want to get it right off the pitch before making the step! Hopefully next year! our prize money will go towards all the improvements and not towards the last games wages!

does there have to be a minimum number of teams in each league?

can anybody tell me the number of teams promoted/ relegated from each SWPL this year?

Congratulations to Ryan Holden (Illogan-Penzance-Illogan) and Jamie Peters (Falmouth-St Austell-Elburton) for becoming the first 2 players to have transferred twice before the first league game of the season! Have I missed anyone else?

The team we had last year was all based around being a band of brothers. a couple of those left towards the end of the season and the struggle started to happen. nearly the whole starting team has now left or leaving but being involved in the club pre-season there is a good core of younger/unproven players. Hopefully for the club and Mikey Pascoe these all work had and gel quickly. If the side they have stays together who knows what will happen. They may have a quiet year, but as long as they are there next year, they will be a force again! Good luck to all the guys on and off the pitch at the club this year!

IronMan, I have been in the league before, but also higher elsewhere. There is a big difference between the East/West and the Prem, which is also why I think Helston may struggle. Im not saying the team will be league contenders at all, I think we all know we have a lot of work to do in the early part of the season, after all a good start can set a lower league side up for the season. The Annears and Hodge will improve the side, but as I said only time will tell.

Whilst signing for Falmouth and seing the training preseason, we will have a decent side. Of course only time will tell. I imagine Newquay will still be down there, along with Blazey, Elburton. Should at least be more competetive down there this year with relegation a real outcome for any of the above mentioned!

​That's certainly not a jealous comment, merely 'is he good enough to play for St Austell' If he's not playing and just picking up an envelope and is happy with that then fair enough. St Austell seemed to have signed a few people, so there will be some unhappy people a few games into the season and no doubt the people who aren't quote good enough will go else where just to play. If he wants to be playing I imagine there will be more game time on offer at Penryn or St D.
