Helston Res v Lizard, Junior Cup, Game ON.


Recommended Posts

Seems a bit farcical if helston have put in a complaint against a player who may have been on the bench in a senior cup team but did not play? Very tough on the lizard guys, especially as has been said they were the best side on the day. Surely to have played in the senior cup you would of have to have stepped on the pitch!

Slightly different, but we named a player on the bench in the Junior Cup who hadn't played a league game, and as far as the club is aware, were fined for him actually taking to the field.

Maybe bagman, we'll not no for sure until someone from Lizard Argyle comes on here and gives us the answer. But if a senior player has played in both competitions and had not told the lizard management team I lay most of the blame with him. A secretaries job is hard enough as it is.

No matter how harsh the rules seem - they are what they are - rules. All to see at the beginning of the season and for ALL to stick to. No sympathy really. Clubs don't make the rules so so think you can blame Helston for complaining - don't think there is a club in the county that would not have done the same,so please come out of your ivory towers

As secretary of helston I have kept quiet on this matter...but am going to defend my club. On initial enquiry to the ccfa I was told yes the player in question did play in the senior cup. Therefore we put in an official complaint as the rules were breeched not because of dour grapes or any other matter. Love them or hate them they are the rules. As le boss said any club would of done the same and indeed our third team have been docked points in the league because we unknowingly breeched the rules. ..and rightly so too...no complaints for us.

I also know Lizard have put in a counter complaint agsinst two of our players who played on Saturday who I might add were eligible to play. ..so yeah any club would do the same.

I hope this now puts an end to this matter. Good luck to lizard for rest of season. ..a strong side who I hope manag to gain promotion

No offence intended towards Helston from me dobbie, the original post put on here implied that the player concerned was an unplayed sub in one of the games. Thats why I thought it was farcical. Are you saying It's official that Helston are through then?
