bare bones due to a couple pulling out last min (shock) and some helping out the second team in their cup fixture. finally 3 points to kick start the season! Had to dig in particularly in the first 15/20 mins while we got a grip and sorted our shape out. SNE could have gone ahead a couple times if it wasn’t for matty in goal making some good saves. To be honest we were shite for that period of the game and the home side dragged us all over the shop. Against the run of play we managed to score the first with cam ross going through 1 vs 1 and finishing well from a Matt westall kick out. The second came shortly afterwards again from cam ross who was relentless for the duration he played. A lovely finish into the corner after taking on the full back. 
 

second half was much better in terms of off the ball work and shape which enabled us to nullify SNE’s play which worked well for them in the first periods of the game. A couple half chances for the home side but nothing more than that if I remember correctly. a clean sheet for us and 3 points to take home after some gutting results (league wise) should hopefully now see us kick on and progress upwards in the table. 
 

say it everytime but SNE has one of the best pitches in the league, the set up is class and they’ve even got their own football firm banging drums for 90 mins 🤣 all the best for the rest of the season apart from the return fixture at the mill. 
 

next up is another away trip to st minver who I believe are still unbeaten. Big test for us and one we’ll look forward to. Hopefully we have more than 12 players available 🤞

[Foul Throw 3]

A two week gap between reports as I missed last week's 1-0 loss away at Gunnislake. A disappointing result by the sounds of it.

We followed that up with another loss this weekend away at St Just, just the 2.5hrs on the coach. My first visit down there and I was pleasantly surprised. A good pitch and facilities to match.

St Just 3 - 2 Torpoint Athletic

Torpoint goalscorers: Cullerton & Rothwell

We started very brightly and could've scored in the first 5mins. On 10mins some very neat football carved St Just open and Rothwell slid Cullerton through to sidefoot past the St Just stand in keeper for an early 1-0 lead. We continued in this vein but couldn't extend our lead with missed chances throughout. Against the run of play St Just countered when Taylor was robbed of possession on halfway and the impressive Ellis got a nice assist playing his team mate through to equalise around 17mins. After this St Just settled a lot more and for the rest of the half both sides were knocking on the door but with no reward. St Just were physical throughout with the referee leaving his cards at home the game may as well have been played decades ago. This unsettled us and put us off our rhythm at times. A few glaring opportunities for both sides went missing with Ellis getting his eye in for St Just with one flying over the bar and Sidey making a good save, with Easterbrook, Cullerton and Rothwell all going close but not close enough for us. St Just's high line was suicidal really and we failed to punish it with poor timing, both with our runs into offside positions or not getting our head up in time to spot them. Both at fault I think. 1-1 HT.

We started after the break very well and should have opened up a comfortable lead multiple times within the first 5mins, with Rothwell, Cullerton and Taylor all missing huge opportunities when well placed in front of goal. St Just got away lightly but were never beaten and took the lead around 51mins and then extended it further just after the hour. We made a few changes and I didn't feel we were out of it completely. Rothwell finally got on the scoresheet for the day and the season, a neat pass down the side of the centre half gave Rotherz a foot race to sit the keeper down and lift the ball over him, only for a defender to head off the line, but fortunately back to Rotherz to tuck away the 2nd time for a deserved goal. 3-2 and game on. St Just dealt with us a little better by this point and were slightly deeper than before. The best chance to equalise after this was from a corner kick that eventually pinballed loose to Ferguson to smash whiskers past the corner. FT.

Another loss which could've gone either way in fairness, and another where we rue missed chances. A two week break now where hopefully we get Small, Westall, Pacey, Coutts and Bouch back for St Austell away on the 4th before another huge cup game at Illogan. 

Thanks to St Just and their volunteers for hosting us after the game. Was a long trip back on the coach but we were well oiled by that point. Felt it yesterday!
