Dave Deacon Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Please feel free to post your postponement, result, goalscorers and post-match comments Premier Division Foxhole Stars 8-1 Callington Town Pelynt 0-5 North Petherwin St Minver 5-1 Saltash United Torpoint Athletic 4-6 St Stephen Division 1 Grampound 5-2 Gunnislake Gerrans & St Mawes Utd 4-2 St Dennis Division 2 St Cleer 2-1 Tregrehan Mills Division 3 Grampound Reserves 0-9 Pensilva Division 4 Dobwalls 4-3 Foxhole Stars Reserves Division 5 Looe Town 1-1 Lostwithiel Reserves Southgate 1-0 Liskeard Athletic JJ Jones Duchy Football League New Premier Champions St Minver continued their winning ways beating Saltash United 5-1 although the game was evenly poised until just before the midway point of the second half. Paul Menhinick put St Minver ahead but Saltash equalised with a wonder shot from thirty yards from Cameron Copp. Will George put the hosts back in front in the 65th minute and shortly after Christian Cleave was brought down in the box and Ryan Pooley fired in the penalty kick. St Minver’s fourth came when a corner was met at the front post by Will George. The final goal came from Menhinick with his second of the game. Its advantage St Stephen in the battle for runners up. They won 6-4 at Torpoint Athletic after withstanding a fierce second half fight back from the home side. Sam Merchant scored from ten yards in the 9th minute to give St Stephen the lead and Courtney Rowe scored their second from the penalty spot in the 34th minute. Rowe scored his second in the 40th minute and Ben Willetts stretched the advantage to four goals by half time. The Torpoint fightback started in the 62nd minute through Chris Westall and a minute later Liam Thornton got their second. Westall scored again to reduce the gap to one goal. St Stephen rallied with Craig Coad scoring in the 78th minute and three minutes later Merchant scored his second. Guy Powney headed the game’s final goal in the 83rd minute for Torpoint. Foxhole overwhelmed Callington Town 8-1. Lee Reed-Bennett and Nathan Pappiononnou scored a brace apiece with Levi Kerrigan, Jack Nancarrow, Phil Hutchings and Aidan Dingle adding a goal apiece. North Petherwin players arrived in Hawaiian dress for the match at Pelynt determined to enjoy their last away match of the season. They won 5-0 with goals from Marius Pislabu, Mark Elvidge, Josh Sanders and a Joe Reeve brace. St Dennis wrapped up the Division One title in midweek and hoped to go through the season unbeaten. They faced a difficult away game at Gerrans & St Mawes United a side still with promotion ambitions of their own. This proved a game too far for St Dennis as the home side won 4-2. Charlie Jones scored a brace for GSM with the other two goals both of outstanding quality coming from Harry Wilshaw. Jordi Willmott scored both St Dennis goals and whilst disappointed to have come so close to going through the season unbeaten they can reflect on an outstanding season. GSM and Veryan now face off for runners up spot next Saturday with a draw enough for GSM to claim the promotion place. Grampound still maintain hopes of avoiding the drop. They beat Gunnislake 5-2 and now will need to win their last game at home to AFC Bodmin to secure what appeared just a few games ago an unlikely escape. They went behind after some lapse defending. A long free kick from 40 yards hit a post and Kieran Jasper was the quickest to respond, tapping home. Grampound found an immediate response with an equaliser from Martin Baker. The home defence were again at fault fifteen minutes before half time and Mike Bluett restored the visitors lead. Again the home response was instant with Adam Hayne scoring to send the teams into half time level. Grampound had missed a number of first half chances but were much more clinical after the break with Baker hitting a second half hat trick to take him to four goals overall and give his side a crucial three points. In the only Division Two game between two mid table sides St Cleer beat Tregrehan Mills 2-1. Charlie Coates scored a brace for the hosts with Steve Haynes replying for Tregrehan. Pensilva has finished third in Division Three after a thumping 9-0 win at Grampound reserves. Sam Rogers scored four goals with Dave Hicks, Duane Williams, Zak Mitchell and free kicks from Liam Donaghy and Marc Tuck completing the rout. Division Four champions Dobwalls came from 3-1 down to beat Foxhole reserves 4-3 in their final game. Matt Bryant, Sam Hummagain and Ben Gaynor scored for Dobwalls with their winner coming fittingly from player-manager Steve Luscombe. Liskeard Athletic has failed in their challenge to take the runners up spot in Division Five. They lost 1-0 to a Brandon Ambrose goal at Southgate Seniors and will finish in third place. Southgate’s win gives them a fourth place finish. Looe Town and Lostwithiel Reserves drew one all. Travis Smith scored for Looe with AJ Owen replying for Lostwithiel.

Paul Collings Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Duchy Premier = Torpoint ATh 4 - 6 St Stephen A bit of a strange game but plenty of action to entertain the neutral. St Stephen were good for their half time lead but 4 - 0 was slightly flattering. Torpoint were fired up after the break and within half an hour were back to 4 - 3. although the visitors had by then missed a couple of relatively easy chances. The next five minutes saw St Stephen knock in two more but Torpoint pulled another back a few minutes later. St Stephen ended victorious but it could have gone iether way. The premier division runners-up spot goes down to the wire with Saints having played 20 on 41 points and torpoint played 21 and on 40 points. Torpoint will expect to get three points from their last game against Callington next Saturday meanwhile St Stephen face St Minver on wednesday - too close to call - and then North Petherwin on Saturday which is by no means a certain win. An interesting week ahead. LC Phoenix currently occupy second place having played all their games and could, of course, hold on to the spot should the other two suffer meltdowns.

AJW Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Duchy 1: Grampound 5-2 Gunnislake (HT 2-2) Grampound kept their Division 1 survival hopes alive with a well-deserved win, Grampound scorers were Martin Baker (4) and Adam Hayne. Grampound had enough first half chances to be well ahead but couldn't make them count and a lack of concentration allowed the visitors to take the lead twice. Grampound showed a little more composure in the second half and gradually pulled away but Gunnislake always looked a threat (and in my opinion played better than they did last week when they beat us). Thanks to Gunnislake for a good cometitive game and now it's on to next week when only a win will do against Bodmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game was ruined by St Stephens after they brought in 6 Sticker first team players!! I'm sure the rule is 2 senior players per Duchy side!

GSM had a solid defence and a striker who when interested was outstandingl with his pace and finishing. Their midfield was clearly missing players as looked cumbersome, at best St Dennis, being totally honest, were very disappointing and must have been missing players, as their performance for 75 minutes today was not that of an undefeated team. Must have been disappointing for them to loose their unbeaten record on such a bad performance. GSM wanted the game more and had a refreshingly united tram spirit so good luck to them The referee today (please don't berate me for this as honest view) was poor - an older ref who whilst consistent missed so much of what was happening from the centre circle - for both sides. The GSM lineman also made some contenscious decisions - I'm sure he thought he was right at the time. All in all, better than shopping for wallpaper, but not by much.
