Good shout, the rain will hit the west a few hours before the east.

[RAPPO]

I’m going for less than that Andy! Games all over the country falling by the wayside already! Even televised games getting postponed tonight!! Like Bakes said another load of rain on the way later as well on top of the already saturated pitches. We live in hope for next week I suppose!? 🙄🤔

[Steve Carpenter]

How many go ahead depends how heavy this 'light rain' is overnight I suppose.

Callington v AFC St Austell has already gone.

[TheolderIgetthebetterIwas]

4.00am this morning and the rain was torrential, 4 hours later and still going.

Don't need to go up and look at the pitch...no chance but I'll have look in a while...depressed now!

Well that's is the end of football today I would think!

[Martin Eddy]

Had a pitch inspection at Clijah Croft earlier and feet were sinking in the mud, no way was it playable. It’s a shame if you look at it from the changing rooms it’s looking good.

That's the norm, always looks ok from the side...then walk on it...lol

 

[Martin Eddy]

I’ve said that Dave because I know someone will go there and say it’s looking good from the car park.

Yup..

I've heard that a thousand times, as well as "the sun is shining - now we can play"

A week of rain has disappeared in 10 minutes!

Gotta smile...lol

The pitch at St Ives yesterday afternoon was surprisingly firm considering all the rain we've had.  I know things can change rapidly with the saturated pitches but hoping that the St Ives Helston game will go ahead.

Callington v AFC St Austell

St Dennis v Liskeard

Torpoint v Launceston

[WendronOfficial]

Wendron Res v Mullion 

GAME ON... all be it on the back pitch

[Dave Bartlam]

Did no games get played yesterday?!? Not a single match report 😫

[Dagerags]

St Ives 2 v 1 Helston

helston arrived at the saltings with a really strong side and took the lead early on with a goal from the really impressive number 11. 
 

By the half hour mark St Ives had turned the deficit into a 2-1 lead with goals from Clymo and penalty from Joe Day. 
 

second half Helston applied a lot of pressure without carving out any real opportunities. 
 

I felt they should have had a penalty but the ref didn’t agree. St Ives had a couple of half chances in the second half but largely spent the half defending there lead. 
 

from the two games we have played helston I can’t believe they are lying 9th in the table two really hard games and one win a piece. 
 

best of luck to them for the rest a nice bunch.

Illogan RBL 3, Perranporth 2

My 1st game since Feb 1st! Still, nice to be in Illogan's lovely new stand: dry, with a good view.

Goals 0 - 1 (10) - Wort, a clever lob from distance

1 - 1 (less than 60 seconds later), Illogan's No 9, far post header off a cross from the left.

2 - 1 (45+4), don't know who, a long mazey run from deep through half the P'porth defence to give Illogan a very unlikely lead.

3 - 1 (50), big central defender off a free kick, after P'porth missed an ABSOLUTE open goal, the lad hit a post when, at the risk of using a cliche which in this case is actually true, it was harder to miss than to score.

3 - 2, (56) Boon pulled one back.

From then on Illogan defended grimly. They did have a massive free kick from 10 yds inside the P'porth half that looked goal-bound until diverted just over the bar by a defender.

Nice to see Glen Mather, nice yarn about this and that and how football was better in our day (it was !). P'porth have recently lost a load of players to St Dennis through a move by their ex-manager. Down the years, too much of this has happened, putting some clubs into great difficulty. It can't be good for the game but as usual the football authorities seem incapable of preventing it happening. It's happened to Penryn, Threemilestone, it caused Carharrack to fold, now P'porth's 2nd XI is getting creamed because several of them are having to play in the 1st team - and there must be loads more examples that I've either forgotten (increasingly a problem for me!) or have never known about. Dave Deacon probably knows a lot more examples.

£1.50 entry, £1 for a tea, good banter: hope there's fewer postponements due to the weather but I won't hold my breath!

[Ronaldo]

Glen Mather 😂😂

[Tom Trust]

No idea of names, Jacob.

Oh, should have mentioned, Illogan's pitch was really good. No indications that its surface caused any problems at all. Well done, the groundsman/men.
