Penryn 1-2 Camelford. 

would love to say another flowing game with Camelford deserving the victory but in fairness Camels looked very tired today - taking nothing away from Penryn, they wanted it far more and won every 50-50 ball.
Camels took a lead in the first half through an own goal and probably just edged the half, even though Penryn had a soft penalty awarded which was missed (very poor penalty).
Second half Camels started well and got a Second through Cam P - lovely finish to be honest. Game looked settled but Penryn  never gave up. They scored with about 15 + stoppage left and really went for it, but never took advantage of some very good chances.

Camels win 1-2 and 3 points but Penryn had about 4 golden opportunities which were not converted. I feel their pain, we have walked off the pitch deserving to win / draw and not got what was deserved - but Penryn are a good side and they will take points off most teams in the league. Well drilled / coached and a team that work hard for each other. 
Camels seem to play fantastic / have a poor game / play fantastic etc - so bit of luck we will be on form next week v Falmouth

Good luck to Penryn - they deserved something today and thought the officials had a decent game.

Wadebridge Town 2. Falmouth Town 7.

Falmouth extended their goal scoring range to 7 goals in this game having posted different scores from 2-0 up to 6-0 so far this season.

In truth it could have been many more but for several point blank saves from the Wadebridge keeper and a few goal-line clearances and last gasp defending from Wadebridge. That being said, many of the Falmouth goals were the result of defensive mistakes or possession being lost in critical areas by Wadebridge. 

3 goals from Brabyn, Ward and Barner in the first half were followed by further strikes from Wharton, Ollie Walker and a brace from substitute Tim Nixon in the 2nd half.

Ollie Walker was unplayable at times in this game. His pace and strength created so many chances for Falmouth and Wadebridge struggled to contain him. One run from the touchline on halfway took him past numerous defenders and required another excellent save to deny what would have been a brilliant individual goal. Not sure how good you have to be these days to be noticed by a league club but maybe Falmouth should get him under contract!

On the down side, Falmouth's defence was finally breached after 5 clean sheets following a penalty award in the first half. An excellent mazy run from the big Wadebridge left back drew a challenge in the area and the ref gave the pen to the horror of the F-troop. Wadebridge's 2nd goal came from an under hit back pass from the normally impeccable James Ward and was expertly dispatched by I believe Matt Lloyd.

Falmouth March on but have a big week coming up with a local derby against Penryn in the WCP League cup on Wednesday followed by a top of the table clash at Camelford on Saturday. Should see a decent crowd for the Penryn game where hopefully everyone will choose to watch some exciting live cup football instead of watching England passing it square for 90 minutes on the telly.

PENRYN   (0)   1        Leivers 84’

CAMELFORD  (1)  2        OG 14,   Patterson 49’

ATT:   67

REF:  Neil Hunnisett  8/10

Already well explained by Bob with his always honest review virtually spot on. The Camels came into this match fresh from their superb 5-0 away win at Newquay in midweek with Penryn having a midweek break after their 1-2 home defeat to Dobwalls last Saturday. Despite that it was definitely the visitors that started on the front foot and a great cross from the left almost saw young Cam Hutchinson head home at the far post but he was denied by Penryn keeper Adam Robarthan at virtually point blank range after 12 minutes. Nevertheless they only had to wait 2 more minute when Andy Boxall drilled a ball across goal but it inadvertently came off the hosts skipper Russell Mays toe as he went to block and the ball squeezed in at the near post despite Robarthans best efforts to keep it out. On 20 minutes Nick Boase sent in a dangerous far post free kick where Bradley Leivers leap saw him challenge visiting keeper Josh Colwill with the loose ball falling to Jake Shaw who was clipped as he shot over the bar. Agree with Bob on this one, good spot from the ref but soft if it’s given against you! Some may say good spot from the ref but the contact was pretty minimal to be fair. Given bout 3/4 times out of 10 I would say! Morgan Vallejo stepped up but for the 2nd week running put his spot kick wide of the target to continue Penryns penalty kick jinx!! Think it’s something like 9 missed out the last 12 taken! 😲 With this Camelford continued in the ascendancy with Ed Harrison pulling more strings than a puppeteer with Charlie Hambley in behind playing the perfect holding role. Great to see these two smashing lads grow into such accomplished footballers at this level, team mates of Jacks when Glynn Hoopers superb county youth side of 2017 went all the way to the national youth cup final beating the likes of footballing hot beds Lancashire and Durham along the way before a narrow 2-1 defeat to Middlesex in the final at Barnets Underhill stadium. A season I’m sure none of them will ever forget!? 👌👏🏼  I know I won’t, I turned down a guest spot on Soccer AM after scoring my 2000th goal to watch the semi final ! Never mind! Tubes was a bit of a ***** anyway!! 🙄🙄 Good play from the impressive attacking right back Denham Guild saw Steve Mcmanaman lookalike Hutchinson snatch his shot wide after 36 minutes. Some fine last ditch tackles from May, Boase and Billy Williams saw any further threat on the home goal adverted for now. Penryn started to pile on the pressure looking for an equaliser just before the break but missed two golden chances like Bob mentioned when a great tackle on Ryan Reeve saw the ball fall to James Daniell 12 yards out but his side foot effort was saved by the foot of Colwill before a Vallejo free kick was headed over by Boase and then the pacy Reeve got on the end of Leivers fine ball over the top but he was also denied by Colwill rushing off his line to block with his legs. 


HT   0-1

How often do you see in football a team get bitten in the bum for not taking their chances, this was the classic case for Penryn when the Camels came out the blocks first and doubled their lead when Harrison threaded a superb pass through the eye of a needle for Cameron Patterson to run on and do what Penryn didn’t with similar opportunities and finish well. Penryn boss Harry Pope didn’t hang around and sacrificed Williams for Fraser Harris and Daniell for Jack Rapsey on 52 minutes. Moments later Reeve rounded Colwill but two covering defenders did well to get back and block the shot. Penryn were prompting with more and more attacks with Camelford always a threat with Bobby Hopkinson now arrived onto the pitch. In the 73rd minute a great cross from Alex Hayhoe saw the ball just elude Leivers outstretched head at the far post. 6 minutes from time good work from deep by Rapsey saw him send Hayhoe rampaging up the right and his low cross saw Reeve tussle with the big visiting defenders and the ball dropping loose for Leivers to drill his close range shot under Colwill. With 5 minutes of added time approaching the hosts could sniff an equaliser against their high flying opponents and only a great last ditch tackle on Reeve denied him going clear again. The 95th minute saw a clever touch by Rapsey on the edge of the area to tee up Vallejo but his goal bound shot had the sting taken off it with a brave block and ended up in Colwills grateful gloves along with the blast from the refs final whistle and another valuable 3 points to 2nd placed Camelford. Reg in his 31st year of management at Camelford will know his team can play better but still took all 3 points. Sign of a good team that! Popey will take several positives from the game seeing his team take the game to the visitors last 25 minutes who will be up around the top come May. Fair to say Penryn have adapted and fitted in well to SWPL football and could and should be on several more points than they are to date. Penryn make the half a mile trip up the road on Wednesday to take on the all conquering Falmouth Town in a local derby league cup tie.Town are rampant this season clear at the top after their 7-2 win at Wadebridge. Good luck to the Camels for the season. Good club with nice people and deserving all they get at the moment 👏🏼

*** An interesting footnote for anyone...have you seen the movie🍿 The Keeper? It’s about Burt Trautmann the former German prisoner of war who broke his neck and played on!!! In the 1956 FA cup final for Manchester City against Birmingham City. Well they made a film about it and it’s on bbc 2 Sunday night at 10pm, well worth a watch, great movie!! Burts team mate in that final was full back Bill Leivers who I met several years ago at work when he was a patient. Had a great half hour footie chat with him on my break, what a lovely chap he was too. You’ve probably guessed the link by now!? Penryns goalscorer today was no other than Bills grandson Bradley Leivers!! Small football world eh!! 🤗👍

I have been a Man City fan for over 50 years and was privileged to meet Bill Leivers the only surviving member of Citys 1956 FA cup winning team had quite a chat with him lovely man told me he earned £11 a week in those days how times have changed.

Good to see the officials have had a bit of a break from the torrent of abuse they got last weekend.

Is the consensus that they had a better weekend or are we all just keeping quiet? 
 

I popped along and saw about 25mins of the Godolphin game and thought the ref looked good (in the short spell I watched!)

Mark - great report, you must spend half the game keeping notes lol. 

Do think back to the 2017 U18’s squad and players a year either side of that. It’s a shame they couldn’t have been kept together - players who are now stand out players in their teams: Luke G / James L and Max G at Liskeard, Ed / Charlie (who have both played Western Prem) and Joe at the Camels, Luke T at Helston, Josh and Martin at St Austell, Matty B and Harry C playing higher level, Ollie and Jack at Falmouth and Jack at Penryn - plus others.

 
Couldn’t someone like at Laffs or Massey gone for long term development rather than ££ - not that players may have left their current clubs - but it would be some team.

Totally agree Bob! What a team they’d be now at this level! All bout 22 with their best days still to come no doubt! Great bunch of lads as well mate with good attitudes which counted for a lot as well. Ed outstanding yesterday mate 👊🏼👍 Dont seem long ago they were 12 year old kids running around the pitch out Probus! Haha yeah, I always enjoy reading people’s reports on here so just try and do as honest a one as I can if I go to a game mate!? Not everyone can get to as many games as Mass Bob!! 😀 Think it’ll be a great league this season, with quite a few of you fighting for it right up until the end. All the best mate

Haven’t you answered yourself to some extent? Plus lads going away to uni and for work, and then of course there’s the requirements by some clubs, managers and supporters for instant success!

Dave - I have and know it wouldn’t happen - doesn’t mean it wouldn’t  be a great side know though.
As for Instant success who has had that with ‘bought in teams’ recently? The jury is out on St Blazey and  Bodmin - Helston  weren’t doing great last season, doing okay - 4 wins out of 7, but three of them against bottom 4 teams - not saying all three won’t come good but are being matched by teams playing together over time and developing together.

Much prefer managers and clubs that coach and improve players, alongside facilities enhancement, than those that buy established olayers at a cost with focus almost exclusively on the first team.

Not dissing any one club or manager, just stating *my preference!

Falmouth March on but have a big week coming up with a local derby against Penryn in the WCP League cup on Wednesday followed by a top of the table clash at Camelford on Saturday. Should see a decent crowd for the Penryn game where hopefully everyone will choose to watch some exciting live cup football instead of watching England passing it square for 90 minutes on the telly.

204 watching yesterday ,compared to 114 at Helston, and 226 watching truro v exmouth .

First SWPL goal conceded by Ryan Barnes since last December's visit to Bodieve Park (472 minutes almost 8 hours of football)

11 consecutive League wins is a Falmouth record in the SWPL.

I think Bodmin had a 28 winning run in their glory era and didn't Helston have a good run quite recently.

Kevin Knowles and his Assistants enjoyed a quiet afternoon at Wendron also, and that's how it should be everywhere, Match Officials are there to oversee the rules of the game and also to enjoy what they do best. Good to catch up with Kevin (and George Patterson), very much a game of two halves between two very well behaved sides.

Thought the three officials had a very good game Saturday, including Barry Raiker who was on the other line for the first time. 
 

Just touching on @Bobjfh’s point about sticking together, Wendron are currently sat  joint 2nd (3rd on GD) with last year’s squad and 7 of the 11 who started on Saturday have come through the youth system at the club.

Its been great to see sides like the Dron, Wadebridge & Camels develop their sides without lashing the clash as a short cut to success like others have sought to do. Wish you well at the Underlane.

Falmouth look like they are going to walk that league. Very much reminds of when parkway got promoted winning comfortably pretty much every week. Is there a team in the league that are genuinely going to give them a close game ??

liskeard still unbeaten, strong looking squad  if staying consistent will surely give them a cracking game

Also Camelford away on Saturday will be a challenge for Falmouth.

Long way to go yet and two of Town's most effective players are back to uni soon as well so it won't be easy.

The Town Man - would love it to be a hard game - after all as sportsman10 said, Parkway swept nearly everyone aside when they won the league - other than Camelford beating them to take their 100% record lol. 
I don’t think anyone will bet against Falmouth for the League but I do hope some teams will at least make them earn it.

No goals for Jack at the weekend. Goals from Louis Price x2 and Ollie Pinnall I’m told.

 

Interested to read a match report if anyone was there tho?
