Fanfare Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Finished 2-2. Hungerford won 1-0 at champions Torquay. Truro MUST beat 11th place Slough at Treyew Road AND hope Hungerford lose at already relegated East Thurrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdario Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Torquay, I never want to hear that name again!! looks like we are down but you never know until the final whistle. Thank goodness we got a point today. 3 points behind I think, but Hungerford have a better goal difference of 3 goals, so doesn't look good. Not entirely surprising after the goings on this season.

Why would you have great pleasure from seeing a Cornish based team go down. Because so far they’ve done Sweet FA for Cornish football (not that it’s their duty to) but supporters will support the club they always have done. Unfortunately Truro City alienated the majority of Cornwall from the start with the way they went about things. And in all fairness they haven’t done a great deal to try to reverse that. No youth, no reserves, no ladies, no social club somersetspur and Fanfare 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdario Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Apart from raise the standard of football that can be watched massively. How have they alienated the majority of the county, a previous chairman who saw off some other businesses, I grant you that one, but the average football fan in Cornwall has had the chance to see a successful team playing a far higher standard of football. Its not Truro's fault that they have to get players from out of county, we tried with local lads under Steve Massey and sadly it didn't work. As for all the add ons, well it would be nice to have them, but funds go into the first team to try and maintain this level of football, pay for travel etc. We don't have unlimited funds or people.

cornishteddyboy Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hampton's home season ended on a bit of a flat note as they managed to lose a two goal advantage in the sunshine of Beveree this afternoon, giving Truro a point, which keeps the White Tigers still in with a chance of clawing their way out of the bottom three. The visitors started confidently and had the first chance through Harry Warwick, who took the ball over 50 yards, striking a shot which could only hit the side netting, as the Beavers were still finding their way into the game. Hampton were still misfiring a little when Zak Joseph fired in a shot, having found some space down the left hand side; there was a suggestion the shot was deflected but it beat keeper Alexis Junior and flew into the net. Truro came straight back onto the attack and Tyler Harvey's shot forced a diving save from Ashley Maynard-Brewer down at his right hand post, before having another attempt which went wide. The second half started in well for the Beavers as Zak Joseph was brought down inside the area by Chris Regis as the forward tried to turn the defender and get a sight of goal. Ruel Sotiriou stepped up to hit the ball past Junior and give the Beavers what looked a good lead. Hampton pressed on, with Harry Crawford striking a sweet shot that Junior had to dive and push away before Sotiriou's attempt a few minutes later struck a post with Junior beaten. Ryan Hill then chased down a ball to the byeline and managed to clip his cross to the near post, but despite Sotiriou's best efforts, it was cleared away by the post. The Beavers were made to pay for not converting any one of these chances as Harvey took advantage of some indecisive defending to advance on goal; Maynard-Brewer managed to block the initial shot, but Harvey bundled home the rebound. Substitute Marcel Barrington was brought on to provide a difference up front and nearly sealed the game inside the last ten minutes for the Beavers, his shot forcing a good save from Junior. Truro were still trying to get back into the game as the referee indicated 4 minutes of added time, and they got their reward as skipper Jamie Richards got on the end of a cross from substitute Jordan Copp to plant a header past Maynard-Brewer and snatch a point for the White Tigers.

Fanfare Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Listening to the chap on the radio today saying how hard it is to attract players coming down. If they had a youth system in place and a reserve team, they could bring through the players who might just be good enough. Similar to Plymouth.

One thing we know for certain is that players in Cornwall move at the drop of a hat, just look at the number of transfers in a season. Quite ridiculous!!

Surely that's the reason to get Truro and Penwith College involved so that our talented youngsters get a chance to improve there talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the college is involved is merely to attract funding. S4C is all about rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
