Dave Deacon Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Helston have been drawn Bishop's Cleeve away in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. The tie is to be played two weeks time - 17th September. They play at Step 4 level in the Southern League Division One South, currently 12th, and one player who should be familiar to some of us is Jordan Annear.

RAPPO Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Nice venue, popped in there last season on my way past to see where Jordy plays his footy these days. For anyone who’s interested it’s an immaculate 3G pitch with one decent sized stand ( 150/200? Seats ) and a smaller stand ( 70/80 seats )*as in the photo down towards the far end just past the halfway line. No cover behind either goal. Quite an open pitch, could imagine a wind affected game wouldn’t be too pleasant there!? Nice little set up though but nowhere near the standard ground of Kellaway Park for anyone going 👍⚽️ Good luck Helston 👏🏼 A Jordy goal and Helston win be nice 😀 Thecupfootballblogger and Buckland Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPPO Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 That's the bigger stand for anyone thinking of going!? 😁 Thecupfootballblogger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of 3G pitches do tend to don't they! All the other sets of goal posts don't help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Have a look around, all the kids play on 3G these days, hardly know what a piece of grass looks like. Give it a few years the whole lot from top to bottom will be on the plastic stuff. No more jumpers for goalposts anymore, and games that lasted morning, noon and evening....the good old days.

Very few actual goalposts up in parks etc these days also, mainly due to vandalism - a real shame but a sign of the times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
