Could be a long season for Sticker but I hope it's just a bad night!

[Sticker Forever]

Heard it could be Reg last season at Camelford. If so what a servant to the Camels, proper football man. Will be a long season for the Sticky but plenty of games and plenty of time for Avers and Gary to get some signings in. Usually get a few unhappy players and floaters about a month into the season that are not getting games with the bigger clubs so hopefully pinch a few of them. Don’t underestimate Camelford though when they’ve got all their Uni boys home and can put their strongest team out! Will give anyone a game

[Easyyyy]

What a win for Camelford! I'm sure both Sticker and Camelford would have looked at this game and fancied their chances of getting some points on the board, didn't see a win that convincing coming though!

Looked forward to this one, having Sticker as my ‘second team’. 

Camels were very impressive and if you look at their form from the end of last season (and pre season for what it’s worth) they have won 16 out of 20 games.

Sticker have lost some players from last season but have also added some decent players with Tyler Cheshire, Bobby Hopkinson and a couple more, but played their strongest squad in this game - whereas Camels have maintained a constant squad - although last night, due to holidays and injuries had a makeshift back four. 

Sticker started (both halves) well and lively but we’re simply played off the ball, Camels looking fitter and showing more desire. First goal was a blatant penalty - (dont know what the keeper was thinking with his push), slotted calmly by Ed, then a powerful shot which the keeper couldnt hold from Sleepy followed shortly afterwards by two outstanding finishes from the edge of the box, one by Sleepy and one by Pooley. 

Sticker scored a soft goal from a long throw in that was allowed to drop and I think McAvoy scored from a yard out - but Stickers hopes of a revival were dashed by a trademark finished from Boxy  - 5 v 1 at half time and game over. 

Second half was more of the same with cool finishes from Boxy and a neat chip from Joe - 7 v 1.

Sticker had some decent possession in the game but hardly threatened, whereas Camels were more clinical and had it not been for three outstanding saves and a couple of tap ins put over the bar the Camels could / should have scored double figures. 

Sticker appeared to have one game plan, that on the night was coped with by the Camels and whilst they had good players they lacked any real pace - especially through the middle. Really hope they sort out their teething issues and if they use Bobby and Tyler well they will improve. 

Great support, as usual from Sticker and wish them well in picking up a couple of extra players. 

Forgot to mention the official who were excellent and allowed the game to flow and managed a couple of ‘first game of the season’ poor tackles.

Nice to see Camels top of. the league highest ever position in the clubs history, would take promotion now if offered.
