Mike Odgers Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Southern League Premier Champions TRURO CITY open their Pre season at Bickland Park tomorrow (Tuesday 12th.July) 7-45pm KO.against hosting FALMOUTH TOWN Also competing for the Aubrey Wilkes Memorial Trophy curerently held by the Red & Blacks (oops showing my age) Now in the Blue Square South Conference League Truro will be fielding a full strength squad which hopefully will include Jamaican International Barry Hayles who has notched over 500 games with Bristol Rovers-Fulham-Millwall-Plymouth Argyle and Leicester City. Also an ex Town favourite Jake Ash (club captain) will make a welcome return visit to Bickland Falmouth have retained most of last seasons players with the exception of Sean Flynn retired and Johnny Ludlam leaving for Newquay. It augers well for the new season with the addition of defenders Lee Rundle-Sam Chitty who played Western League for Barnstaple Town during the second half of last season and Jamie Devine from Penzance. The big signing is striker Ian Hodges who has returned home to Cornwall and has been a big favourite with Hampton & Richmond Borough FC (BSS Conference) for the past 5 seasons. Former Truro players in the Falmouth lineup are Jason Chapman-Mark Vercesi-Ross Pope- Dan Green and Josh Sims. See you all at Bickland-Lets Roll.

KIT 65 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 When it comes to a football derby match in the County,this is without doubt the daddy of them all. The love/hate relationship between the two clubs goes back longer than most will remember,but saying that,the two clubs have always shown the greatest respect for one and other.Long may that last.I think that respect will be shown on the pitch tomorrow evening.Being many leagues apart between the teams means nothing in a derby game like this.Let's hope for a good clean injury free competitive game. There should be a good showing of Truro supporters,so lets hope for a good gate to start the season off. Whats it like for car parking down there these days ?

Gets pretty full up for parking and I think it will be a big gate tomorrow, so best get down early. Come on Town!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Odgers Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 really looking forward to this match - live updates for anybody that can't make it can be found here - http://bit.ly/mU5Gqz Its Ian Hodges not Lee in your report-Simon Truro could field Plymouth Argyle's 29 year old Dutch Under 21 International defender Marcel Seip. I did hear Jason Chapman may be unavailable due to coaching duties with the Argyle Youth team who play at Torpoint tonight. In the Falmouth squad there is a Ben Head -would he be the reserve keeper?

Quiet Man Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ben Head is an outfield player. I believe that Truro are allowing Falmouth to use one of their reserve keepers for the match as Jason Chapman has a prior engagement. Come on the Town.

Town Fan Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Falmouth Town 3 - 2 Truro City Two goals for Ian Hodges and one for Matt Drummond. A great start to the season. Come on Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberfalman Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 A 3-2 win and the Aubrey Wilkes Memorial Trophy is Town's. Well deserved too. Truro scored first but Hodges (2) and Drummond put Falmouth 3-1 up by half time with City missing a penalty at 2-1. Town had several chances to make it four but we ended up hanging on at times when Smith scored a 25 yarder with about 15 minutes left. Great game considering it's the cricket season and the player's have just got back into training. Edit: Beat me to it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, will be at Truro City v Yeovil this Saturday for live updates. As for the next Town match I have put Falmouth Town's tie with Bodmin in the FA Cup as one to cover :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Odgers Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 as said by Trev on another post "one swallow doesn't make a Summer" So being quietly optimistic should be the feel Remember 2008-09 Falmouth defeated Conference side Team Bath FC 5-2 in a PSF but ended their CSWPL season in 14th which was their worst since the 1950's.
