Who scored for St Mawgan

OK, It was my first listen

First time listener – just what the sport needs. Not everyone buys newspapers these days so a good listen. Nice to see the East Cornwall League is given a voice. I appreciate the league had not used the FA system fully but hopefully next season everyone is on board. Just one point, it would be nice to announce the leading scorers each week for each league. I have kept a running total which I update each week and post onto Cornish Soccer of the ECPL leading scorers. Nice mention of Ken Adkins, will be sorely missed.

Fixtures All 2:30pm ko Gerrans & St Mawes 0 North Petherwin 0 Godolphin v Roche (Away win awarded) Padstow United 0 Foxhole 5 St Minver v Looe Town (Postponed) St Stephen 1 St Dominick 2 St Teath 2 Plymouth Marjon 3 Veryan v St Cleer (Postponed) WEATHER PERMITTING

Just found out about Ken's demise. Very sad to hear about a man who helped save a league that wouldn't die. A wealth of knowledge who devoted so much to the game and especially the ECPL. A stickler for the rules but also appreciative of the difficulties clubs at this level continually suffered and was fair to all. Will miss his sound words of advice and his sharp wit. RIP Ken you will be sadly missed.

I must admit when I played all those years ago I always remember when having to spit and yes we all did it. I used to trod on it to dig it into the ground because even then I knew that I would not have wanted to put my hand or face on it when falling. It does though raise a point because boxers can split their eyes open and be streaming with blood yet the fight goes on. Never understood that.

I think it is time I enlightened you. For a start I use the Nom de plume ECPL so that people will know I am posting predominantly about the league. In case you didn't know it my name is Dave Potham and all opinions are my own. Secondly although asked many times by the league I am NOT their press officer. I get paid for what I do so being asked to be Press officer would put me in an awkward position. But I am given regular information to post on this web site. So yes I am if you like I am an unofficial mouth piece for the league. In regards to this particular topic I can give you the facts. I like DD - who was copied in was sent an email by the league timed 9:50pm advising me of the cup draw for me to post it on the web site. I eventually opened my computer about 11ish and saw the message so immediately posted it on the web site. I then looked at this web site again and saw that the details had already been posted by DD. Hence my follow up posting. I received a telephone call from DD at tea time today who told me he approached the league to ask them what responsibility I had with the league. I have posted in the past my role as the link between me and the league so I will repeat it. They tell me what they want posted whether it be by phone or email and as soon as I can, I post what ever the information I am given. DD is copied in to any correspondence given and I have absolutely no problem with that. So my point is - why in less than an hour of receiving the information and unbeknown to me DD has decided to post that information. Knowing that I would be posting it anyway. So the question is why ? In his telephone call to me he tried to come across as being concerned at why I posted my comments. The answer is simple. I will do my job and you do yours. He approached me at a league cup final at Nanpean a couple of years ago and I gave him short shrift then and I will do it again. He is one of the reasons why I have refrained of late posting any comments on here. Putting it bluntly I do not like the man and have no intention of being 'his friend'. He says we are all supposed to be pushing in the same direction. I agree but pushing against each other seems to be what he wants. So be it. I said at the time I would only be posting subjects of interest about the ECPL which I will continue to do unless advised otherwise. So if DD wants to think before posting then I am sure he will take the point.

Sorry, done
