St Newlyn East AFC Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Why only 2 games. - and cup ones at that- in the whole of the Duchy League? Seems absolutely crazy that there are no other games fixtured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted December 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I did wonder myself to be honest. Seems strange to bother with just two games! Why not instead have a complete blank Saturday between Christmas and New Year, unless these two games are cup ties that have been postponed already and so trying to catch up so the cup rounds don't get too disjointed!

Paul Collings Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Polperro Reserves 2 - 2 St Newlyn East Thoroughly entertaining match played in the right spirit and sensibly handled by ref Ian Spurling. Both teams were obviously suffering from a lack of recent games but gave their all and tried to play a good passing game . There was very little between them in the first half, Premier side Saints looked sharper going forward but the Polperro defence held firm and it was goalless at the break. Playing up the slope in the second half Polperro took the lead after 20 minutes but a sound penalty and a wickedly sliced og within minutes saw them behind. The visitors appeared to sit back a bit to hold on to the advantage but Polperro were eventually rewarded for a string of good attacks with an equaliser and pressed hard for a winner in the closing stages. Fair result over the 90 minutes, Saints progress to the knock out stage and Polperro put themselves in a good position to progress with them. countyman and goodsense 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Newlyn East AFC Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Agree with you Paul that a draw was probably a fair result over 90 mins although Polperro prob had the clearer cut opportunities late in the 2nd half. Great side at Polperro who have pushed us close in both cup games and who try to play football the right way and am sure will be in the Duchy Prem sooner rather than later. It’s always great to see Duchy Committee members out watching games and supporting the league and it’s clubs. Hope to see you or the legend that is Colin Burrell at Cargoll Road soon. Happy New Year Jiggy, St Newlyn East AFC Billy Davies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
