Mike Odgers Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Odds On- Blaise Park (less travel for the Blazer boys)LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 There's Bodmin where the CCFA HQ is, or the old favourite for the time being at Treyew Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 What a shame we're not talking about how good it is to see a Senior County Rep match instead of worrying where the venue is going to be! Do I fear we have some budding "Big Al"s in our midst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Confirmation that this game is to be held at Priory Park, home of Bodmin Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Although its decribed as a Cornwall Representative side I think Glym will want to win it after last time these met and I see it as a Bodmin/St.Austell combined X1 v Royal Navy. Would have thought Ryan Barnes g/k at Falmouth should be in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretscout Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Surely looking at the league you would have thought a few from Saltash should be included, given they currently sit top of the table? For me, Ryan Richards would be an automatic choice along with Liam Eddy. Agree that St Austell and Bodmin will be the biggest contributing teams, but dont rule out some of the counties other top clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobjfh Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Seriously - having watched Bodmin this season, I think Glynn would be greatly limiting his choices if he based a squad around their players. I have seen Glynn at numerous matches this season and I am certain that across SWPL there are proper Cornish players and there is a better team / squad who would give all for playing for their county.

secretscout Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Agree with Bobjfh, some of the players at the likes of Bodmin and St Austell are the money chacers and may not be there for the right reason. Players at other clubs where money isn't a luxury are the players that are more likely to give you more and wear their heart on their sleeve as such. Just a thought. Who do people think should make the cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Matthews Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 We could always just let Glynn pick the team? I expect he knows what he's doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretscout Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Completely agree, but this forum is about opinions and thoughts, and im sure people have opinions and thoughts of who they would like to see represent gods county......

Bobjfh Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Tommy - of course you are correct and Glynn has vast experience as a manager - just saying on a Cornwall Football Forum, that many supporters of Cornish Football would like to watch a team representative of Cornish football players playing for Cornwall - not a team made up from a couple of currently successful teams - that would be a SWPL Rep team. I'll be stood there watching in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Matthews Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I hear what you're saying and think there's merit in that. But if you're trying to put up a good show and win then you select the players who are the best fit in your opinion. Either way it'll be good as the Navy will fly in players from from both home and abroad to make a real game of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherwontletmegoargyle Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Can't see many from south east Cornwall turning up. A38 going to be closed plus all the road works in Bodmin. Move it to Blazey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope so Tommy, but in reality I don't think they will be flying players in from abroad, its a midweek game in Bodmin, not a Armed Forces cup competition!!

Crusty Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Surely the location of where a player lives shouldn't be a factor, if they play for a Cornish team then they should be eligible to play for the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the last time this fixture was played at Blaise Park. Three or four were brought in from abroad and then went to training camp ahead of the Inter-Services Cup.

Dave Deacon Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 The match is now to be played at Godolphin Atlantic FC. Bodmin Town have let the CCFA know their pitch will not be playable, but Godolphin have stepped in at the last minute to host the game, for which the Cornwall FA are extremely grateful. The game will still Kick Off at 7:30pm and there is going to be a minutes silence prior to the game in memory of Ray Nicholls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
