The Monk Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 I think its a daft format. You've got smaller teams dropping out because their players are demoralised at having to face teams 3/4 leagues above them. Look at little old Storm FC Vs Mawnan 2's for example. Yes they turned up they but got an absolute shallacking 13-1 vs a mediocre Mawnan reserves team. The gulf in class was huge. Having it at the end of the season is strange as most players are dreaming of the beach and holidays. mbkted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrummyBarry Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 They sound very out of touch for the modern day game not that I know much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirwin52 Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Surely that’s the whole point of a ‘cup competition’? People always root for the underdog. Some teams will relish playing teams 3-4 leagues higher than themselves,all about challenging yourselves,not necessarily winning. The individual league cups are there for those that want to rest on their laurels. ‘Little old storm’ are always up for a challenge,great bunch of lads with a never say die attitude. I’m sure they,along with the rest of us,were still smiling afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 I think though if it was mixed into the season like prior seasons then it'd make a massive difference. Some times for example your Storms or Wendron 5ths who've had hard seasons don't want to be up against the big boys at this stage. It can be demoralising for some. I used the Storm example as it was one of the biggest scorelines Ive seen in PSC so far. The romance of the Percy Stephens Cup that you long for just doesn't exist I'm afraid. This isn't the FA cup this is the lowly levels of Cornish football where games may have 3 people in attendance (disregarding subs etc). The Committee really need to read the room and change it next season else it will be more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry about that as will be part of the new St Piran set up 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
