Dave Deacon Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I know in "Senior" football St Blazey have won four trophies in one season when in 2001–02 they picked up the South Western League, South Western League Cup, Cornwall Senior Cup and Cornwall Charity Cup. But has any other club done it, and more importantly has any club done it at Junior level? I ask this because what a season St Day are having! Already Falmouth-Helston Division Two champions by a mile, they are now about to embark on three cup finals: the Percy Stephens Cup against Falmouth Albion; the FH Division 2 League Cup against Stithians while in the Barker Bowl they meet Cury. Some going. But to ask the question again - has four trophies in one season been won in Junior football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 A very good season for the team if they come through those games successfully. I can't think of a team that has won four Junior trophies in one season although have played in a team that won three.When the former West Penwith League was in existence there were a relatively large number of trophies played for at the end of season,eg Hannaford Cup,Hospital Cup to name a couple,so maybe the answer lies there.I seem to recall over the years that clubs such as Porthleven,St.Buryan,Madron,Halsetown,Gulval,Marazion,Rosudgeon,Pendeen,all had successful seasons. Truro GWRSA,from the West Cornwall Sunday League,have the chance of four trophies this season having already wrapped up the Cornwall Sunday Cup and have one hand on the league title (maybe both hands by now) and two other knockout trophies to be played for,the Gerald Sobey Shield and the League Cup.

In the FHFL league you can only win four trophies if you are in division one and win the league, the PSC the lockhart cup and the junior cup or in Div 2 and win the trophies dave has mentioned as div 2 is lucky that it has two cup competitions of its own and the PSC, you could do it from Div 3 like that with the WCC and the TJC as well as the league but a lot of sides in div 3 are reserve sides so cant play in the PSC. come support the saints at Helston tonight and introduce yourself to the cat on the sidelines if you are about!!! does anyone know the last time a division two side won the Percy Stephens Cup?????

St Darren Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 When we at St Agnes were in Div 2, we won the league, the Barker Bowl cup, final for the Percy Stephens and Regional Final of the Junior Cup! if it wasn't for pesky Holmans!! good times they were, helps when you have a striker who scores 72 goals a year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 An answer via e-mail, many thanks : David, In response to your question on the Cornish Soccer website about "has any team in junior football won four trophies," the answer is yes it has been achieved before. Under manager Roy "Jock" Henderson, Penryn Athletic 3rds achieved a clean sweep in 1987-88 when they won all four trophies open to them: Division Two champions; Barker Bowl; Wheatly Cobb Cup and League Cup. The last division two team to win the Percy Stephens Cup was, if my memory serves me correctly, St Keverne in 1982-83, when they defeated red-hot favourites Pool Sports Cub 1-0 in the final at Helston."

Could that be an omen with Helston once again hosting tonight's match?? Seems times have changed since 87-88 as nowadays the wheatly Cobb cup is contested by teams in div 3, Also have there always been three divisions in the FHFL?

St Newlyn East AFC Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi Dave According to ex Newlyn players who played for the club in the 1960's the club won 4 trophies in 1968 of Moon Shield, Whitford Cup, Dunn Cup and Hart Cup. Would be interested to know if this could be confirmed but not sure if any of the cups apart from the Dunn Cup are still going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Been down in my dusty old shed this evening and came across some information which means i need to correct an earlier post. In season 1982-1983,Chacewater won Mining League Division Two,Whitford Cup,Russell Hall Cup and Moon Shield so i did play in a team that won four trophies in one season after all. As St.Darren said,you do need the help of a good striker and at that time we had a young whipper snapper called Colin Bennetts who played alongside an experienced striker called Treve James.

hansome dan Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hayle won 4 trophys in season 1999-2000.Due to duchy going out of existance we were promoted back to fal/hel 1 after relegation.We won the league,percy stephens and lockhart cups without losing a game and also won the st austell brewery cup by beating senior sides illogan,falmouth town,roche and truro city on their own patch in the final.....happy days :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested to know if this could be confirmed but not sure if any of the cups apart from the Dunn Cup are still going? As you said Jiggy, the Dunn Cup is still going in that format. In fact the competition has been going since 1905! The others could still be as well, but possibly under a different name. By this I mean that the Hart Cup, which originated in 1950, was a competition for Reserve teams. The Whitford Cup started in 1962, with this one being for Division Two competition. Meanwhile the Moon Shield began in 1964 and was for the team scoring the highest number of goals (whether between all the teams throughout the whole league, I'm not sure). There's also been the Sports team shield (1965) for the most sporting team in the whole league; the Ocland bowl (1967) was for various competitions, there's been the Hodge Cup (1972) for Division One winners; the Russell Hall Cup came about in 1972 for Division Two winners. The Whear Cup in 1987 for the top goalscorer and so it goes on. There was the Torch Cup as well wasn't there. What has come of these? Are some at least of them still played for, but under a different name? You've now got the Arthur Pearce Cup, the Jolly's Shield and the Jubilee Cup - did these replace some of the earlier mentioned cups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Fairly sure that the Torch Cup was renamed in memory of the late Arthur Pearce Dave. The Oxland Bowl used to be presented to the runners-up in the Mining League Division One.(not sure if it still is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin richards Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 To get back to the original post, we at Porthleven, whilst playing in the old West Penwith League, won the league, the Hannaford cup, the Nicholas cup & the Charity cup, & lost 2-1 in the final of the Hospital cup, when the match referee, who will remain nameless, said, as the teams walked on to the pitch, ' no team will win all 5 trophies '. & we lost to a disputed penalty ! :SM_carton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
