Philheybrookbay Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Saltash 4 Ashton and Backwell 1. In a word….comprehensive. Dominant for full 90 mins and but for a bit of luck it could have been 7 or 8. And that’s from Ashton Chairman! Goals from Callum Martindale, Dave Barker x2 (1 pen) and Adam Carter. Good to see Mike Smith back as well. Both Sides of the Tamar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Matty bye sent off again? ? The helston granit xhaka . Would imagine that contributed to that thumping. Expected helston to give them a game to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Followallfootball Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Sure that didn’t help , think a result like this was on the way . With the fa cup run they have had 19 games in 10 weeks . Helston looked a very tired side on Wednesday in the csc against torpoint which went to extra time and penalties . sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helston we’re pretty poor and the players were awful towards the referee all match. Great win for Buckland and the best performance of the season by them. Helston need a striker and possibly a keeper if they are to improve on the good recent run Buckland Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Followallfootball Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Striker ?? There two strikers have scored 19 between them already this season and are number 2 and 8 in the goal scoring charts ! So that would suggest a tired team not a team that needs a striker mockey jackson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgetting the long distant past, could you remind all of us all how many trophies Helston have won over the past 5 years please ?

Buckland have been a good side for quite a few seasons now so I doubt Helston went there expecting an easy time. Let’s hope the tables get turned when they travel west.

Thecupfootballblogger Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Enjoyed a hard-fought game at Bickland Park as Falmouth produced a real backs-to-the-wall effort to beat high-flying Shepton Mallett 1-0. The visitors, who had won eight of nine league games so far, looked a really good outfit and totally dominated the last quarter of the match but could not find a way through a brave home defence, with Falmouth keeper Barnes in outstanding form. The only goal came after about an hour with a superb header by Kellow after Falmouth kept the ball alive after a corner. The visitors were impressive throughout but let themselves down with some angry petulance as they couldn't break Falmouth's resistance, the tackle on Nixon that ultimately led to him having to go off being a particularly nasty example. Beautiful spring-like conditions and a crowd of over 400 made it an enjoyable football occasion but can anyone tell me why the area of the ground opposite was out of bounds? Ultimately, a very good three points for Falmouth, showing that they can compete at Western League level if they dig deep enough.

The area of ground opposite the stand is out of bounds because it's not up to standard.

Ian Pethick Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Good win for Torpoint today, corner turned? More points dropped at home though for Mousehole. Know they have games in hand, but they are starting to lag behind the promotion slots. Trundle Parc maybe not looking quite the fortress (and daunting away trip) that it used to be? Regarding the Helston comments earlier, it is their first league reverse since the opening day and is still early days for the Mat Cusack project. There will be bumps in the road. Dan Hart's Buckland do seem like a different proposition this season though. Shepton Mallet's sudden dip in form possibly gives them, and a few others, fresh impetus in the race for the top 2.

OK for the FA Vase though. Crazy regulations but have to abide by them. Still enough room to accommodate the crowds though.

Bound hard standing is required on at least two adjacent sides/ends at Step 6. Any pitchside area without hard standing is not considered a spectator viewing areas and should not be accessible to spectators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, flat and well maintained grassed areas may be accepted. So Town Fan reads the relevant information, so not such a silly billy..... silly billy, Buckland Jim and mattelot 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
