Great performance  from Roche today . Quality  goals and scored four second half whilst  down to ten men.

[Tinpot clubs]

Fantastic result for Roche. Torpoint also extending their winning streak to 10 in a row meaning they’re just 2 wins from the league. Plenty of football to be played yet with 3 teams left still in contention 

[Foul Throw 3]

Torpoint 3 - 1 St Cleer

Scorers: Ferguson x2, Rowe. 

Lineup: WestallM, Bartolini, WhiteJ, WhiteS, Quintrell, Cotter, Rowe, Northcott, Blair, WestallC, Ferguson.

Subs: Crump, Payn, Warren, Carter, Robbins.

An electric start for the home side last night, with skipper and grumpy gills for the evening WestallC teeing up the returning Ferguson 20yds from goal, who fired a rasping drive into the bottom corner for 1-0 on 3mins. The 2nd goal came around 24mins, with Rower scoring his 2nd in 2 games having gone the season up til then on 0, banging one in from all of 1/2 a yard! He did his best to remain on 1 goal and fully leaned back to give me a heart attack, but it stayed under the bar for 2-0. The 3rd came not long after on half an hour, with Ferguson again firing on in low from 18ds after a strong WestallC tackle breaking to the scorer for his 5th in 5 games. Despite missing lengthy periods of the season through injury, this is just rewards from a forward we know can contribute to picking up results like this. 

St Cleer weren't dead and buried quite yet despite the 3-0 deficit, and Ben Collins pulled one back before HT. He was found wide left 1 v 1, played some neat football with two team mates and the return pass found him inside the box to smash past WestallM in goal to give hope to the visitors. A sweetly struck free kick from Chapman also rattled our crossbar after a WhiteS tackle was deemed a free kick approx 25yds out. A lucky escape for us. 3-1 HT. A thankful score line, with the crossbar being hit when easier to score for the home side, as well as other shots on goal not finding the corners.

A typical rallying call at HT, with an improvement in attitude and application required to match the score line. The back 4 remained resilient and I was impressed with their decision making throughout to nullify any St Cleer threat. It was evident they missed the willingness of Bartlett. Cotter in particular was playing well, and frankly embarrassed a few of his opponents with various ball mastery in the middle of the pitch. Brought down on a number of occasions, one rival did pick up a booking. A rare blow of the whistle, with obvious fouls for both sides missed all night. This led to frustration for both sides, with one St Cleer man given a 10minute cool down late on. The crucial 5th goal never came for either side, with a strong run down the left from Warren met with a good stop by the StC keeper to his left, and a WestallC 1v1 scooped over the keeper, and over the bar onto the top of the net. A Karel Poborsky throwback to those old enough to remember Euro 96! Despite it not going in it was some skill, only topped on the day by Cotter's gangly legs and a double step over by keeper WestallM in the first half when under zero pressure!

A relatively quiet 2nd half finished 0-0 and 3pts to the home side to take us back top of the league. Again, only until Saturday if WestallM's new friends beat St Teath. With St Minver losing last Saturday vs fellow contenders Gunnislake, the title race now becomes a 3 horse race. Was nice to see some of the Gunni boys at The Mill last night cheering us on! 

Onto Monday for the League Cup Final vs Foxhole. 15:00ko at St Blazey FC.

Must say that was a surprising result for Roche for me. SNE are a good side and I'd put them higher than their current 8th place. Roche finish on a high note being the first to complete the season.

[St George]

Roche definitely finishing on a high - player availability at the end of the season undoubtedly making a positive difference looking at team sheets - according to full time they beat both Newquay and SNE with only 10 men (9 vs SNE with a red card) 🤣😉🤣😉

[MCB]

Roche did start with 11 in both games. Unfortunately  we are having problems  with wgs and loading players mainly Jack Morris who has played all season but is now not on the system  for some reason. Its a pity because  he scored his first senior goal in men's footy on Wednesday  evening an absolute screamer from 30 yards but not showing on full-time.  

[Foul Throw 3]

Hopefully the Full Time Tech Team can sort it out for you so the young lad can get his goal rightfully put on the system. 
I think overall the MatchDay App and Full Time are pretty good but this issue has happened to a few sides in the league.

Does the Matchday app allow you to do everything post match now?

Was speaking to a friend earlier in the season who was saying they struggled with things like the league questions and referee marks.

IMO yes. You can submit your lineup, subs made, scorers, assists, bookings. And also marks for the pitch, referee and some respect questions too. Once you've done it once, takes less than 5mins.
