St Newlyn East AFC

St Newlyn East 1-3 Godolphin (HT 1-1) Wasn't at the game as had to be at a Swimming Gala with my daughter (the joys of fatherhood). Heard the G, strengthened by a few first teamers, were deserved winners on the day with goals from Mickey Thompson, Ben Colqouhoun and Lee Budge. Newlyn's scorer Sam Lawrence. Good luck to Godolphin for the rest of their season. Jiggy

St Newlyn East 1 - 3 Foxhole Stars We weren't at the races today! Complete opposite of last week's league encounter with Foxhole's missing players returning and us having 5 unavailable due to a wedding and other commitments. We went ahead on 15 minutes against the run of play through Elliot Powell before Chris Ballett turned the ball into his own net for Foxes' equaliser ten minutes later. Foxhole were by far the better side and but for great keeping from Zef Counter in our goal should have scored more in the half. We again started the second half sloppily and Foxhole scored just a minute after the restart before we again scored another own goal on 64 minutes - this time the unfortunate Steve Harris unable to get out of the way of a low cross and the deflection rocketing into the net. One major positive was being able to end the game with 2 sixteen year olds and 1 seventeen year old on the pitch (2 of which for their first taste of adult football). Well done Lucas Moses, Harry Owen and Callum Edgcombe. Good luck to Foxhole in the next round - they were deserved winners on the day.

St Newlyn East 2- 4 Foxhole Stars Tough result to take as I thought for long periods we more than matched Foxhole but when you make defensive errors like we did you won't win games. Key moment in the first half was Ross London beating the Foxes' last defender only to be brought down in the penalty area incredibly for no penalty to be given. Even the Foxhole 'die hards' watching like Brian Philp and Darrin Morse said it was a stonewall penalty - should be interesting to watch it back on youtube later via our FB page! Newlyn opened the scoring in the second half through Lewis Dodd only for 3 defensive errors to give Foxhole 3 goals before they added a fourth to turn the game on its head. Newlyn replied late on through Brodie Mitchell. Great advert for Duchy football. Good luck to Foxhole. On to next week when we play.....Foxhole at home in the Junior Cup.

Unfortunately our allocated referee for our fixture vs Foxhole at Cargoll Road on Saturday 20th October has had to withdraw due to personal circumstances. Due to work commitments etc. Foxhole are unable to do an early KO so that option is not open to us. Both clubs would prefer a qualified referee if at all possible. It's a long shot we know but if there are any referees able to officiate at this game who don't yet have an allocated fixture already please contact our secretary Jon Grigg on 07917 431336. Free pint and food also included after the game in The Pheasant Inn.

We have one available for use in our village - probably around a few minutes from our pitch. Sadly it had to be used over the weekend.
