Now I'm back from Falmouth, I will be back on the case and get the league table up to date (On Sunday)

It was great to meet up with Mike Odgers, Pidge, Stig and others in the Falmouth Club bar after the comprehensive thrashing of Holsworthy (I will have to come down more often if this is the way we play!)

Thanks for the hospitality Guys!

[Mike Odgers]

Good to see you safely back up North-Kernowman

Not such an attacking game today although the same lineup but satisfied with a point against a vastly improved Torpoint outfit.

let us know when you are down at Bickland again- its my round.

Cracking game yesterday.

Good support from Falmouth and I think a fair result though obviously dissapointed not to hold on after taking the lead.

Shows how far we have come in 18 months that the chat in the club after was so positive. We proved yesterday that our league position is in no way false.

[Mike Odgers]

Yes it was an intense top of the table clash with Torpoint taking first half honours and Falmouth coming back strong at the end.

Both goals coming from corners which were not cleared-and I made the corner count 9-4 for Torpoint.

I didnt travel to The Mill last season but found that new shelter ideal in the driving misty rain especially being packed with a good banter and it was there I met up with Ian Leonard (father of Dave at Truro) after20 years, when Dave was at Bickland in the Dave Wadd era.

Some other Falmouth supporters were full of praise for the cosy catering premises which provided seating and wasnt the clubhouse bar full after the match where I had my usual greeting with a Torpoint legend Roy Carter.

All in all a very enjoyable afternoon despite the weather.

I enjoyed watching this game.

I think it was a fair result. I think Falmouth will be more satisfied with a point away from home to a team at the top.

Good to see Torpoint doing well. They seem to have a hard working club on and off the pitch.

Good to see Lee Langmead warming up for Falmouth before the game.

Overall a good game and all credit to Torpoint as the hosts.

[Torpoint Imp]

Thankyou for all the kind comments.

Glad you all enjoyed your visit to the Mill.

Yes we have a hard working and rejuvenated committee, and a growing band of volunteers, including two volunteer groundsman who are learning as they go and deserve a lot of praise for an excellent playing surface.

Also glad the new facilities are appreciated, it makes all the hard work over the summer worthwhile.

We're now about to embark on some fundraising as we're determind, after many false dawns, to get the floodlights up as soon as possible :D

[Dave Deacon]

If I'm not mistaken Mike, Brian Mallett was there too!

[Torpoint Imp]
