Senior cup game off


Recommended Posts

Rule changes this season means Foxhole only have 8 fit & eligible players for todays game. The whole of the second team are unavailable for selection, either because they have played in the junior cup or have yet to play a competitive game for the first team this season. If today was a league game we would have no problem fielding a full squad of players, makes having a second team pointless when it come to county cup games.

On behalf of Foxhole Stars I would like to apologise to committee members & playing staff of Ludgvan for any inconvenience caused by this cancellation at such short notice.

This must surely make the Ccfa realise a change has to happen!

How long has this rule been in place?

As far as i can see, The rule has been changed between last season and this from being, a registered and recognised player of the club to registered and recognised player of the team.

What bright spark thought that this was a good idea amazes me, and is the same reason some of the junior sides were kicked out of the Junior cup!

Ajw is only saying he agrees with it because his grampound side wrongly got through to the next round of the junior cup with a similar incident with st minver. I think the rules are a joke when you use second team players, if it was 1st helping the reserves yeah I would agree but for the reserves not being able to step up when signed with a club is a joke. My personal opinion

I'm not saying they did anything wrong but they benefited from a shocking rule. All minver did was call on a reserve player in a junior cup game to be on bench and he played little time and helped the 1st team and got punished because he hadn't played a league game. It's my personal opinion but that is a shocking rule. I have no affiliation to st minver so I'm not bias

Grampound did not wrongly get through to the next round. It was tough on a good St Minver team, but St Minver broke a rule and Grampound did not. As it happens, Grampound had to leave out a player who would have been a sure starter but due to suspension, injury and postponements due to no ref being available he had not made an appearance and so was in the reserve team that day. There was discussion on this forum about this issue when a team was expelled after the first round, which is what made us leave him out.

LukeWoz, you have made a rather big assumption about what I think, so for what it's worth, I too think this rule is daft and has had unintended consequences. I am sure that it will be re-drafted for next season.
