Foul Throw 3 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Torpoint 11 - 0 St Stephen Scorers: WestallC x5, Ferguson x2, Blair, Rowe, Payn, Robbins. Lineup: WestallM, Bartolini, Carter, WhiteJ, Quintrell, Payn, Northcott, Rowe, Blair, WestallC, Ferguson. Subs: Robbins, Rosevear, Warren. An emphatic win from a highly motivated squad which sees us get over 80 goals in 23 league games. With Altarnun winning as well on Saturday, the league will go down to the wire with the decider on Weds 18th at The Mill. Torpoint raced out of the blocks and Ferguson was the fastest chasing onto a through ball from skipper WestallC on 4minutes to coolly place the ball past the keeper low into the corner. 15mins later it was WestallC the provider again, this time from the left hand side, lobbing a ball over the top for Blair to find himself in acres to weigh up the bouncing ball and the keeper and he smashed it low for 2-0. It was another 20mins before we got the 3rd with Rowe taking us into HT 3-0 up. Despite the quick start, I was quite disappointed as our standards dropped as the half went on, one touch too many, trying to over complicate the simple game and maybe being too cocky. Northcott's dangerous set pieces weren't capitalised on as his corners all found free headers for WestallC, Payn and Ferguson to not add to the tally. St Stephen were there for the taking and top sides would've been more ruthless. But the 2nd half was nothing short of cruel. Ferguson again came out of the blocks firing and got his 9th in 7 games before Josh Payn went on a mazy dribble through the final third and a nice left footed strike from 18yds found the bottom corner for 5-0. WestallC finally got in on the act having set up 3 goals for team mates with the 6th when Aidan Northcott took a smart quick free kick to slide the skipper in to fire home. The 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th we all WestallC to takes his tally to 27 goals for the season. The 7th was well set up by Ryan Warren who found himself with time to slide in a perfectly weighted pass in behind. The 8th was a Jake White assist which skip again despatched and by this point was purring. As we added to our tally, St Stephen's frustrations boiled over as fouls were constant and was only a matter of time before cards were shown for recklessness or persistant fouling. Robbins' neat turns were regularly breaking ankles only for his own to then get snapped at not long after. A late tackle on him was shown a straight red late on, maybe a yellow would've sufficed but it was yellow/orange so not too critical of the decision. Right back for the evening Bartolini was unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet as his effort bounced back off the post, only to be mopped up by WestallC to tuck it away. A now sore Robbins had the last laugh with a superb free kick on 88 minutes to complete the scoring. A ruthless 2nd half from the side with 8 unanswered goals and 8 goal involvements for WestallC in the match. For years we've had the potential to reach these levels and this season we've shown proof with heavy defeats given out. 13 consecutive wins now with the next game vs Altarnun the most important league fixture since last winning a title in 2011. Regardless of the result it's been great to complete a season for the first time since 18/19 and 2 cup trophies to show for it. Win on Weds and it's a treble. Lose and it's opposition Altarnun's league title. Gunnislake will be praying for a draw so they win it. You couldn't write it. The pressure is well and truly on!

Surely this can NEVER have happened before.Any Bookmakers out there? Obviously the amazing thing about this season is that come the very last day of the season, the top three can all win it! There's been a few nail-biting finishes although not knowing how the final games of the campaigns were, its difficult to know exactly how nail-biting! The very first season of the league in 1960/61 only goal average separated the top two as they finished on 23 points and third on 21. In seasons 1964/65, 1971/72 and 1980/81 only 2 points separated the top 3. More recently in 2012/13 the Division One had the top two level on points come the finish.

The Torpoint Massive Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Torpoint Athletic 1-0 Altarnun Att: 162 Scorer: Hird 51 mins Torpoint completed their treble in front of a decent crowd at The Mill. Both sides played some decent attractive football and a good advert for the league. Thecupfootballblogger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St George Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Were Torpoint actually that short for a title decider that they had to start 3 of their SWPL players who have between the 3 of them only made in total 4 appearances for their 3rds all season (2 were making their ECPL debuts this season in this match)? Seriously……one of them even scored the decisive goal! Feel sorry for Gunnislake and Altarnun.

Foul Throw 3 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'd say so yes. We had 4 key players missing who had a combined 71 starts for us this season. I understand people's frustrations when they see this scenario, it's happened to us before. But to counter that, not one team we've played has said "ooo Torpoint were missing x, y and z" in prior fixtures. 3rd team lads have supported the club this season with over 30 apps for our 1sts and 2nds and this is encouraged across the whole club. To put out 4 competitive sides every Saturday takes a lot of work and every player signed for the club knows they're doing just that, signing for the club, not just an individual team. Last night we did use 3 SWL players, 2 of which started men's football with the 3rd team before progressing through the teams. They are a credit to the club and it's what we want to see of all players with the potential and ability. I might even lose players myself this summer as they choose, or are chosen, to step up. One of the subs that came on last night is also not a regular, he's 17 and played for the 4th team until a month ago when we have integrated him in what have been huge games. To me, that's how a good club should work. Not too different to Gunnislake using Prescott regularly either. Quality player who plays in the league above. But I'm pretty sure he's Gunni born so why not help them out. No different to Hicks and Pacey who live within minutes of our club.

If this was really the case of ‘needing’ SWL players for a deciding game then the manager could of easily called on every 1st team player with the likes of Ryan Richards and Curtis Damerell being available. Players were called in to replace the unavailable(and key) players missing. Can recall the likes of almost every club in the league doing the same when given the chance. St.Blazey with 1st team players in the SWPL league, St.Cleer with Liskeard players in the SWPL, list is endless. People in glass houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinpot clubs Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Well done to Torpoint. A season is made up of 24 fixtures yet some people feel the need to call them out for using 3 players in a single one. As foul throw states above, that is how good clubs operate and Torpoint have clearly had a magnificent season as a club. I suppose when the only teams spoken about all season up until May were St Minver Gunnislake and Altarnun, and they win nothing whilst Torpoint clear up the treble it is always going to leave a sour taste. looking at team sheets from the detailed reports Torpoint produce their squad has been extremely consistent all season, finishing the season with lots of youth stepping up and also I have noticed Easterbrook one of their top goal scorers has been absent in all games towards the end of the season too. Congratulations again for a fully deserved treble and keep up the fantastic work at the club DuchyFullback3 and karaoke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
