Half the county's footballers are at various festivals, Boardmasters in particular, but Altarnun get their fixture postponed and another opportunity at a later date. Seems fair.

Yeah if that's the case can I have the money back I was fined for not being able to fulfill a fixture last season then please?

One rule for one Dave and another for another. Never makes sence

To be absolutely clear, Altarnun requested a break from fixtures to try and save the club.  In line with previous requests from clubs in similar situations their request was granted and may apply to next weeks fixture as well if their situation doesn't improve.  ALL clubs will be treated equally so before speculating and assuming on here please try establishing the facts before posting.

Any players out there that may be in a position to help Altarnun out, their plea for help and details of who to contact is copied from their Facebook page below:

Your local football team needs you. 

Altarnun FC have been playing football continuously since the Second World War. And now it faces the real possibility of folding before the upcoming season begins. 

In the last several years a lot of work has gone into the club to get to where it is today. We have a lovely pitch and facilities, playing in the Cornish St Piran League. Our goal is to stay there, but we need your help. 

This message is an invitation to football players in the local area to join us for an open training session at our home ground on the 16th August. 

Meet at our pitch (directions below) for a 19:30 start. Please message Alex on ‪+44 7510 021824‬ to let us know you’re coming. 

Please share to reach as many people as possible 🙏

If this was put at the start of the thread then no one would of assumed different Steve, hopefully Altarnun get enough on board to survive,I fully understand how bad the management must feel.

St Dominic 2 Torpoint 1

Our first home game of the season and familiar early season opposition in Torpoint. 

The visitors off a surprisingly heavy defeat midweek reacted, as we expected, to that result. Doms, on the other hand, were extremely sluggish in the first forty-five and despite several players missing this weekend from the squad, on the pitch our play seemed more like we were hoping something would happen for us. We certainly did far more of the defending as the visitors got into dangerous areas too many times with the Torpoint wide men in particular a threat but without the attacks troubling Jamie Blatchford in to much save wise. Just short of the half hour a deserved opener for the Point, with a cross to the far post and a free header but a good header all the same. Our best chances were nothing much more than half chances really all half. 

Fortunately a reaction straight after half time as we started on the front foot. Kane Thomas in a bit of space found Kieran Ryall to his left hand side and he strode forward to stroke home the equaliser. A major improvement both in terms of effort and quality from the first half, as mid way through the half, Toby Morgan crossed to Ryall who got the ball out of his feet to fire in to the net for the lead. Torpoint’s main threat was coming from some dangerous crosses which either evaded an attacker or were defended clear as we saw out the final minutes winning a series of throws or drawing fouls as the visitors looked to regain possession to try and force a late equaliser. However, a huge improvement from everyone in the second half, we held out for the positive result.

St Dominick 2 - 1 Torpoint Athletic

Goalscorer: Chris Westall

A 2nd loss in our opening 2 league fixtures but the mood since is far better than it was after Wednesday's hammering at home to Saltash.

We bossed the majority of the first half and were unfortunate to only be 1-0 up at the break. The home side couldn't really get going and we looked energetic and dealt with any threats leaving Browner with little to do. Boyler and Whitey in particular defended well up against the physical Styring. Chris Westall opened his account for the season with a superb diving header from a marauding run forward from full back and excellent cross by Jack Bouch. The goal around half an hour had been coming and was well deserved. Josh Payn was the biggest thorn in the home side and his runs from deep weren't ever picked up except by the home linesman. Payny hit the post when well placed in the area and also had two goals disallowed for offside. My biggest doubt over the disallowed was the 2nd he'd ran through, had time to dribble round Blatchford in goal before the late flag went up. Put that one under dubious.

2nd half we knew we had to repeat the performance but we didn't and St Dom came out with a quick reaction. A throw in on the right hand side found it's way to Styring who dribbled infield to release Ryall on the left hand side of the area who took the ball in his stride with a good first touch and an excellent left footed finish into the bottom corner. This didn't wake us up and in the middle of the half it was Ryall again. Receiving a squad ball on the edge of the D he shifted to the left, dropped his shoulder to come back onto his stronger right and struck a fierce effort into the opposite corner to his previous. Annoying cos we'd nullifed St Dom all first half and he'd been invisible, but the lad is quality and both his goals showed that. We huffed and puffed from then on and looked tired. Easterbrook got past Discombe a number of times throughout the game but each time the cross was whiskers away from meaningful, one in particular late in the game was just over the head of Rothwell who if a few inches taller would've had a simple unmarked header in the centre of the goal. Close call! 

Finished with another loss but with so many away on Saturday at Boardmasters & Boomtown, weddings and stags we'll be back to some more pleasant headaches next weekend where we visit league champions Saltash Borough at Salt Mill. Lots of things to work on still but Saturday's game has reinstalled the belief we'll be strong soon enough.
