Well what can i say about this performance by Newquay vs Bodmin this afternoon in there 5-0 win Bodmin started off good but then Newquay where brilliant and was dominant throughout the match and could of scored a lot more but the 5 thry did score from Harry Tillston 2 Coen Briggs ,Cam Turner and Louis Price .

I wasnt sure if it was Shaun Vincent manager today sorry if it was Shaun for no saying hello but you had you hands full with that team and some of those players where not trying there hardest and if i was the manager they would be gone .

I have just noticed Bodmin even had there centre half Jordan Stidson in goal and i was expecting to see young Alfie Eccles in goal so Bodmin couldnt of found a goalie to play in todays match .

I have seen a lot of Bodmin in pre season and thought they where in for a good season how wrong i was its going to be a long season for whoever is i charge .

I cant remember who had what shots Newquay had so many and this team will give teams a lot of good games ,even with Jordan Stidson in goal he didnt have much chance with the Newquay goals no one is going to stop 1 from Cam Turner there was uproar about Newquays 1st goal Bodmin claiming it was offside but it was definitly onside 

Ok Mom for Newquay hard one to pick thats why im picking the lot they where all brilliant even the subs as for Bodmin im going for Jordan Stidson for going in goal and for entertainment value thats Charlie Hardcastle saw him against Truro and he was brilliant . 

I hope Bodmin can sort out there problems i can see why Dane left and whoever is in charge they are going to need a lot of luck and some different players 

Well done Newquay on a brilliant performance but l will see  how good this Newquay side is when they play Wadebridge on Wednesday and they are up against 1 of the best goalies around in Rob Rosevear but young Adam in the Newquay goal has not let me down so far lol

Wrong section i was the 1st to write a report of a match today and put it in the section that said todays results because there no reports from todays matches anywhere .Im sure that nice man Dave Deacon will put it  in to right section then i can read all the flack forgot to mention the ref Dave Bartlan was good so was his assitants .Feel sorry for Bodmin if Ryan Rickard had been in goal but hes away it would not of been 5-0 when you got to play your centre half in goal for the whole match you got problems 

[Wetsuit]

Any idea what’s happened at Town regarding media this season.

Hardly any match reports on website or papers, infrequent social media updates especially on Twitter even on match days for first team, non existent for 2nds and U18s and the thing I miss the most is the match highlights that were put up after every game using the veo camera. Who was doing them and why have they stopped?

Stidds is actually a goalkeeper of a very high standard steve. He gave it up as he found it boring ! As a youth player he was on pro club books as a keeper.

Obviously was a busy boy yesterday !

Not sure why but the key man has set up The Cornish Sports Media I believe- also I have made a complaint to The Falmouth Packet newspaper (last week all Truro City and Pirates.

Falmouth Town 2. Frome Town 6.

Disappointing game for Falmouth yesterday.

Falmouth started the game brightly and probably had more of the ball and played more in the Frome half, at least for the first 25 minutes.  However, Falmouth still couldn't really fully control the game with overhit and wayward passes and crosses.  That being said, Frome from the Southern league were a very solid side and as the game progressed, more and more of the 2nd ball was won and the Falmouth midfield were less and less influential.  The first goal from Frome was a superb finish which left Coxhead in the Falmouth goal helpless.  The 2nd goal was as a result of a Falmouth mix-up and the ball was easily passed into the net by the Frome forward.  2-0 at half-time.

 

Clearly, Falmouth needed to up their game in the 2nd-half and the excellent Ollie Walker, coming back from a 3 match-ban, came on at the start of the 2nd half.  Falmouth started to take the game to Frome, but again, a Frome attack resulted in another goal which, whilst taken well, seemed preventable from the side-lines. A 4th goal followed quickly and Falmouth looked lost.

Soon after, Falmouth changed shape, taking full-back Kayden Gordon-Dunn off and replacing him with wide player Jacob Grange.  Falmouth started to get some success down the flanks and pulled one back from Grange. Grange looks to be a promising player and is starting to look comfortable at this level. Ollie Walker was also excellent when Falmouth could get him the ball.  Unfortunately, Frome went up the other end and scored another two in quick succession.  Ollie Walker scored a a consolation goal in stoppage time but the game ended with a 6-2 loss for Falmouth.

Next game for Falmouth is in the FA Vase against Honiton next Saturday at Bickland.

No filming of the Helston game either.

[Yourhavingalaugh]

Some interesting results/scores yesterday, demonstrating we can’t rely on previous match results/score lines and high profile signings to forecast a result at moment. A lot of front runners are hot and cold at the moment. With 4 playoff places up for grabs it’s going to be an exciting season involving many upsets.

Absolutely. Bigger fish to fry for Helston possibly but still a chastening defeat for them.

St Blazey 1v5 Mousehole. Att.303

St Blazey a bit walking wounded at the moment. First sub after 12 minutes. Another at half time. Two other places battled on. Not the best situation when your playing a team like Mousehole.

St Blazey had the best chance to score again when it was 0v0. Would have given us a huge boost to go in front but it wasn't to be. Two late goals in the first half killed the game and the another after half time ended any hope. 

A long injury to a Mousehole player seemed to quieten the crowd and once play was underway again Mousehole scored two late goals to give it a one sided look. My motm, Kieron Bishop, got a late consolation goal which he deserved for his hard work. 

A good crowd of over 300 was good to see on what turned out to be a glorious afternoon after the mornings wet weather.

St Blazey make the short trip to Dobwalls next Saturday in the. F.A Vase. 

St Blazey then face a trip to Buckland on the Wednesday night before returning to Blaise Park for the visit of Ilfracombe.

Not many good sides anymore. SWPL- W much weaker than the offering east of the Tamar. I'm not going down the pub league route but there are only about six who can be competitive in this league. The likes of Liskeard and St A virtually guaranteed points and often a sackful of goals against the rest. We all love lots of goals, but we all like proper contests rather than foregone conclusions many weeks.

100% made a mistake - no need for the snarkiness. I often disagree with him, but appreciate the effort he goes to in provide match reports and his obvious love for the local game.

I watch Tavi a lot. I've frequently never understood the apathy of the people of the town. From SWPL to almost SL play-offs last season, yet still the crowds don't come. The players have done their bit, the ground is tidy, the people welcoming - what else can the Lambs do?
