[silly billy]

Well done Bodmin, that's the first upset of the day done. Now on to St Austell to watch Wendron hopefully make it a double. 🤞

[Outsider]

 Falmouth 1 - 0 Wendron

Crowd just over 1200

50/50 draw  1st Prize £100, 2nd Prize £30.   Not sure how these draws work . Is it 50% of ticket sales going to the prizes and 50% going to the club?

If so, only 260 tickets were sold to over 1200 persons attending. Really?

[paul pearce]

Always been a sore subject from people I’ve spoken to. Well done Falmouth 

[GEACH1]

Ethan fearne must of got man of the match today?

Made several great saves .

Shame Wendron couldn't convert any of theirs, they had plenty but not on target.

We had the same prize money from 700, all variable I suppose. 

We are definitely 50/50 in prize money and the club.

I believe it’s 50% of the number of people who enter the 50/50. So out of 1200, if only 100 buy a 50/50 then the prize money fund is £50. Equally if 500 people buy a 50/50 ticket then the prize fund is £250. I could be incorrect, but that’s my interpretation of it.

Watch Falmouth Wendron final today. Someone has to take gamble on JBE next season was told by reliable person that truro interest in JBE. JBE is unplayable wouldnt surprise if he was late bloomer to pro game like Vardy.

He is obviously a good player.. As he has previously shown and carried on showing this year...... But cmon.... Pro?!!

I wonder how many people said that about Martin Gritton when he was running up & down the slope at Perranwell. 
 

You never know. !!!!!

[sportsman10]

what happen to st blazey  today ? 
turned over 4-1 by the journey men of Bodmin.  Didn’t see that result. 

[The unknown]

To be fair I was on the main gate and noticed that the many football fans coming through the gate haven't been to a  local football game to pay for a 50/50 draw and only two of our volunteers tried to sell as Many as he could.

Watched this today as my grandson plays for Wendron. 

Well. Nice day, good crowd and the pitch looked nice.

But...what an awful game, ruined by the pitch I'm afraid, the players could hardly string two passes together it was that bobbly,  ball all over the place with dozens and dozens of mis-hit passes. Shame really as it looked like it could have been a cracker with the sides on show.

Disappointing...oh yes.

Totally agree the ball was bobbling about all over the place. Game was ruined by a sub standard pitch not fit for a Sunday league final game let alone the biggest game in the County. CCFA - surely someone visited and watched a game on this pitch before deciding to have the biggest game of the season on it? Shocking decision 😡

 

[justanopinion]

Add together some of the worst changing rooms in Cornwall, how did they get the Senior Cup Final?

It certainly would be a gamble where Paul Wotton is concerned as he hasn't got much of a track-record for signing many that haven't been at a professional club!

If Truro was going to gamble on a Cornish Striker next season…..JBE who has done well in the SWPL West or Matthew Buchan who has done very well for a struggling team two leagues up?? I know who’d I’d stick £5 on.

[WendronOfficial]

Congratulations to all at Falmouth Town from Westy, James, Charlie and their players to the F Troop and all else involved. 
A great achievement on completing the league and cup double. 
 

Thank you to AFC St Austell on hosting the final. 
Appreciate some comments have been made regarding the surface and changing rooms (could’ve bet we’d have the away ones, must’ve been painted the day before as the fumes were still strong) but in seriousness, I thought they did a great job hosting the fixture. 
 

Thanks to as well for the CCFA for, after two years of absence, facilitating the competition once more and to a high standard. 
 

Also to the four officials on the day who were professional in all they did and oversaw the game well. 
 

I’d like to say that we were the better side for much of the game, however that may be the claret and rose tinted glasses, but what counts is putting the ball in the back of the net and that’s what JBE and Falmouth did and we didn’t, especially after some golden chances fell our way in the first 20minutes. 
 

Thank you to our fans who travelled well too. 
Another milestone in our project going forward. 
 

All the best to Falmouth and The F Troop, who too were great, on their ventures next year.

Didn’t know that, certainly wouldn’t be my interpretation. I and many others don’t buy them anymore for the reasons given earlier. 50/50 should be just that, irrespective of how many people buy. Time this was clarified by all clubs running such a thing.

[Falmouthman]

Dron had some good chances early on, and perhaps should have made better of them. Town gained control as game went on.

Having a finisher like JBE was  the difference on the day.

Good organisation/bar etc but awful pitch meant very little football possible which spoiled the game as passing impossible  on such a poor surface. So many good pitches in the county, baffled as to why the venue was chosen.

Obviously pleased Falmouth won, great season for both clubs, credit to Wendron for a great year.

[Rk180389]

Scott kellow left out of the whole entire squad today. What the hell did he do to deserve been dropped from the final. Ah students were back for Easter. So leave a local lad out for the biggest game of the year.

Honestly it would be a terrible move  if either striker signed for Truro. Falmouth are a club progressing Truro are going backwards 

get buchan upfront with jack bray evens that a strike force for Falmouth that will get the goals in western league 

[Paul]

Good to see former St Blazey striker Seb Broomfield today at Bodmin. Seb will be out in Spain competing for Great Britain in the triathlon. Asked to help Bodmin out today, he cycled from Plymouth to Bodmin and then back after the match. Thats dedication for you. 

As for the football, it wasn't worth writing much about it. Numerous chances in the first half hour. Then gifted two goals before half time. 

Missed a penalty second half before pulling one back. Come back on. Nope. Caught time and again all over the place. Had an end of season feel to it. 

Last chance to finish in the top 4 will need us to beat Camelford home and away. Miracle needed.

Firstly, a great atmosphere created by a large crowd and both sets of fans. It felt like a proper final.

Wendron played like they had nothing to lose and Falmouth played like they everything to lose. Wendron’s quick and creative start took Falmouth by surprise and they were very unfortunate not to score first. Falmouth’s goal definitely helped them to focus, and their decision making on a bumpy surface started to improve, but it didn’t deter Wendron’s attacking intent. The 2nd half showed that playing with the wind was a slight advantage as Falmouth looked less vulnerable with the wind behind them. A Wendron equaliser was looking less likely as the game went on, but their football was neater, but couldn’t find the attacking space like they did in the first half.
 

The pitch did look difficult to play on. I wonder what both set of players thought of it ? You could see that a simple pass or even controlling the ball was not straightforward, a lot of players struggled which affected their confidence to play the game in the proper manner. What was clear today, Wendron are undoubtedly a very good side, and people shouldn’t be surprised when they win games against fancied opposition.

PS- I’m not sure if it’s right, but I heard Kellow was injured a month or two ago and hasn’t played much football since.

Sounds like Falmouth were not at the races today. Perhaps not enough game time for them having resting 9 players against penryn apart from the two local lads in Kirk Davies and kellow. Injured a month or two ago but yet played for the reserves when asked and was back to fitness. Even half unfit he could still run rings around the other midfield- the set piece taker?  He’s there every week without fail doesn’t go to uni and is a Falmouth lad.. how many of them would travel on the western league as I know he would be there… unlike some of those who were in the bench instead of him..

Was there a prematch luncheon? Did the venue for that take precedence over the venue for the final?

Congratulations to Falmouth Town players management and committee what a season. sometimes you just have to appreciate greatness and commitment to be better than everyone else. 
 

special mention to @Jeff Chambersand the F-Troop fantastic set of fans that support a good local club never to much trouble and always put money behind over clubs bar. 
 

from everyone at Liskeard we wish you all the best next season in the western league and hopefully the season after we will be joining you. 
 

For me @Dave Deacon @Rappo1017 only one man for manager of the season got to go to westy double winners.

 

Special mention to St Austell as the pitch looked decent yesterday.

Let me preach...sorry.

Classic mistake from the groundsman, cut the grass short for a nice finish/ presentation, did look good but was not conducive to football. 

The ball in a football match travels ON the grass, take that grass off and it affected by the underlying surface, in other words bumpy! This time of the year you should let your grass grow to encourage the basal tillers to catch up your cutting height  (35/40mm) when they have caught up you can cut your pitch to its normal height but it will have body in it for the ball to travel on...not the under surface, that way you will get a much smoother ball transition during the game  (not so many bobbles)

Divoting with a minimum 50/50 mix of sand and soil should be a priority now, I know kevin has used nearly 10 tons of mix already this year so is well ahead on that front.

Remember also that when you shave off your grass the grass will virtually not grow for a week whilst it recovers from the damage a low cut causes to the grass infrastructure. Sorry for the sermon but these little pointers need to be out there.

Ok  im back with  new keyboard , I was at the match on Monday and Wendron got off to a flyer and should of been 2-0 up after 10mins but there finishing let them down, you got to take your chances against a briliant team like Falmouth and the prolific goalscorer JBE scored but me thinking it was Tim Nixon who had the got the goal they do look similair or as Tim pointed out after the game they got the same boots .

Ethan in the Wendron Goal was having the game of his life he was brilliant saving everything Falmouth coud throw at them .The 2nd half was pretty tame really Falmouth continued to dominate but nevr really like to score really i think Wendron should of brought Billy Stone onand taken Charlie Young off but that did not happen ,also Wendron was missing there brilliant defender Max Roberts who would of kept young Jack quiet .Falmouth deserve there win but what a season for Wendron brilliant ,i loved the Falmouth f troop  and the inflatables they where brilliant going to miss them next season .

The officials where just class and stop going on about the pitch good players can play on any pitches lookatthe pitches in the 60s and 70s mud heaps and George Best seemed to glide overthem pitches .

Ok my MOM for  WENDRON THE BRILLIANT NICE FELLOW AND EX G GOALIE THE ONE AND ONLY ETHAN FERN  AND FOR FALMOUTH IM GOING FOR TIM NIXON SORRY I THOUGHT TIM GOT THE GOAL BUT I WOULD PAY TO WATCH HIM ON HIS OWN HIS SKILL IS UNBELIAVABLE 

Onto the Jack Bray Evans debate is he good enough i have been banging on for years that hes good enough for Truro  i have been following Jacks carrear from when he was a skinny little  kid playing for Newquay now hes the incredible Hulk playing for Falmouth , Jack use to carry Newquay in most games because he wasthe best players there now hes in a fantastic Falmouth team where they are all good .I woud like to see how good Jack is against the big ugly buggers in the Western league and maybe a pre season friendly against Plymouth Parkway woud be nice .

I hope you dont mind me mentioning this but this Monday just gone i lost a good friend called Pam Osborne and her partner Paul where both killed on there motorbike when a drunk driver hit them .I have known Pam for years and she was a angel when i had Kidney Cancer she was always there for me its really shook me up its so unfair why does this happen to nice people .

 

Sorry to go on for so long but i had to try my new laptop key pad out and here it is off to watch the G tonight play Liskeard hoping they play as wel as they did vs Newquay in that 5-1 humiiation serves them them right they should of treated JBE and Aaran and a few others better then they would have  a better team .

Ok thats all for now Folks

Very sorry to hear about your friend. I’ve lost two people close to me in the last couple of months but no two people’s grief is the same so I won’t insult you by saying I know how you feel, but stay strong and be sure amongst the sadness to remember the good times too.
