Guest Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have unearthed some old programmes and found some referees lists from 2004/05. Some of the clubs are no longer around but the following were all in the Duchy League from that season. Some names ring bells but some don't. Can anyone help identify the following and confirm where they played?Bugle Orient - MolinnisGarrison - Dragon Centre, Bodmin ?Lewdown RoversLiftonMaker With RameMary TavyMenheniotMount CharlesNewmoor - Kessell Park, St DennisPorthiaSaltash Churches - Warfelton?South PetherwinSt Anns ChapelTywardreath RBL - Par Running Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmooreshead Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Maker with Rame - I think became EdgecumbeSt Anns Chapel had a pitch in the village on the right as you head to GunnislakeMenheniot - Think their pitch was adjacent to a cricket pitch in the village although I may be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 There used to be a pitch (maybe still there) in the countryside between South Petherwin and Tregadillett and not too far off the A30.Did South Petherwin play there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 St.NeotClub Info AddressAdjacent to Menheniot Cricket Ground I realise they play at Menheniot Willow Tree, just thinking out loud - why do they play 10 miles away from St Neot and as they play in Menheniot, why not call themselves Menheniot! It's obviously not as simple as that and perhaps someone in the know might put me out of my misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 It's a good point and it also got me thinking, which club play furthest away from their name - eg St Neot at Menheniot or Edgcumbe in Plymouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footycrazy15 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Maker and Rame did become Edgcumbe Reserves who play at Horson Field (Torpoint) although I'm not sure when, fairly recent though. Edgcumbe First Team play at Millbay (played there many years ago, great pitch!) but it's only about 2 minutes from the Torpoint Ferry and as the crow flies about 2 minutes from Mount Edgcumbe! Just the small matter of the River Tamar being in the way!With St Neot maybe the Menheniot set up is better? St Ann's Chapel played at George V Playing field in Gunnislake.Porthia became Bodmin Saints in 2006 who played their games at the Dragon Leisure Centre.

footycrazy15 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I will ask some friends of mine from Torpoint, I do know they've been about a bit! Anyone shed any light on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was told at the start of the season by an official of the club when I asked him about the club playing at Millbay Park : "It's our pitch for as long as we want it to be, but we are working hard on a permanent pitch back in Torpoint and will hopefully be sorted ASAP. Since we've started we've played at maker church, Raleigh, Millbrook, Horson, Millbrook, Raleigh and now Millbay park so it is top of the priority list and has been for a few years."

Brianmooreshead Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Makers pitch was up the road from Mount Edgecumbe House -Maker Church - Might well have been within the grounds of the estate though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Maker used to be called The Halfway House when we first set it up and soon changed to Maker (cant remember dates) We negoitiated with Mount Edgcumbe to use a plot next to Maker Church which we shared with 350 sheep !Changing facilities were often in Millbrook and then we changed in a sheep shed on the site of the pitch.After a while we secured a grant to develop the ground adjacent to Millbrooks pitch but after 2 years of working and sweating over it, the plans never materialised.MQx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Changing facilities were often in Millbrook and then we changed in a sheep shed on the site of the pitch.I seem to recall someone posting on here many moons ago that the after match washing facilities were via a tap outside the shed.Grassroots football.

Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looking on Google Earth, there is an air shot from 2007 and the outline of a football pitch can just be made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby191 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Edgcumbe did indeed start their duchy conquest back in 2002 on a sheep field next to Maker Church, I'm not sure it's in the grounds of Mount Edgcumbe but Mount Edgcumbe is in the Maker with Rame Parish & it's exactly how MQ describes. As they progressed they then went down to Millbrook as they folded for a while, Millbrook reformed and Edgcumbe shifted to HMS Raleigh in Torpoint. HMS Raleigh then had their changing rooms condemned the season Edgcumbe were pushing to win ECPL Div 1, so half way through that season Millbrook kindly let Edgcumbe pitch share and Edgcumbe went on to do the league & cup double. The first team used Horson a couple of times when a fixture clashed with Millbrook's.They were able to do this, as Edgcumbe second team who became the second team after taking over Maker with Rame in 2012/2013 season were using Horson & still do.For the first teams debut season in ECPL Prem they have used Millbay & will do until the new facility that will be in Torpoint is up & running. This may be a few seasons away yet but the plans are in.I'm 99% sure what I've written is correct & through the constant upheaval they've managed to win 5 league trophies & 5 cups in 13 years. Not too bad really I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Sixes Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I played against Porthia, I am sure they were a building company team or something. The match we played against them was at St Breward. I also played a few times against Mount Charles, once at the school in St Austell and a couple of times on a farmers field somewhere.

Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I believe Mount Charles used Penrice School or Par Running Track. If I can locate my old CCFA directories it will be happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Rundle Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Mary Tavy played at the recreation field behind the Community Centre, easily seen from the road through the village, nowadays used by Princetown in the Plymouth & West Devon Combination Lewdown Rovers played at the recreation ground, accessed off the road through the village Lifton played at Leat Road, same as they do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad really I suppose!Thanks for the update Webby, rather spookily, I bumped into Ian Berry at the weekend shopping in Liskeard. He was the ??? Park ranger ???? At Mount Edgcumbe country park which is why I know that the pitch was part of the country estate as I had many meetings with him when we arranged the pitch.

Mongoose Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 St giles became south Petherwin and played just off a30 next to cricket ground near tregadillet...They then took their team 2 Lifton.

Brianmooreshead Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm talking nearly forty years ago now but I played against a team called either Stanstag or Stans Stags - I think they played at South Petherwin but I'm not certainAnyone remember them - Also a team called Endeavour - played at par track - Again I may be totally wrong but did they become Biscovey ?

Richard Rundle Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Mary Tavy didn't become Princetown. Mary Tavy folded. A team called Ordulph Arms used the pitch for at least one season and then folded. Princetown FC were formed in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
