Be even quieter today …….

Point against Torpoint and Helston are champions and promoted (realistically, given their vastly superior goal difference, they are already).

Clevedon and Torpoint ending goalless means that if Barnstaple fail to win at Bridgwater on Tuesday night, then Falmouth will take the runners up spot, and that all important home advantage in the play offs.

Question is who would Falmouth prefer in the play off out of Barnstaple,Bridgwater or Clevedon 

Probably Clevedon, both Bridgwater and Barnstaple hitting a bit of form, with Falmouth hitting a rough patch

Not heard much from General Jeff, mattelot or the Town Man recently after a massive week in the Western League. Hope they’re ok?
 

Congratulations to Helston for winning the league. Fully deserved. The league table never lies. Hopefully Falmouth can continue the rivalry by going up via the play-offs.

Over a 1000 there to watch the game against Falmouth but only about 150 odd to watch on the saturday  a team going for the title.  There must be more interest in helston then that surly ? 

There really isn’t.  Remember too, that is 150 on (for this season) a rare sunny day with them top of the league. If they have a more modest season what will the gate be? Too reliant on ‘sugar daddy’ money, otherwise unconvinced they are sustainable at SL level.

TBH, Falmouth have been punching above their weight, credit to them. Buckland, Barnstaple and Bridgwater should have been pushing Helston, not Falmouth and Clevedon.

I'm not sure how Falmouth are punching above their weight. If it's on budget them please tell me what everyone's budget is, if it's on history then Falmouth's certainly stands up against others. 

Falmouth are the best supported team in the Western league, which generates it's own revenue regardless of budget, they've made the last 8 of the Vase, semi finals of the senior cup, got a great youth set up, well managed, good fanbase, why shouldn't they be challenging.

All credit to them for competing on all fronts, running Helston close & being a credit to Cornish football.

Falmouth comfortably beaten by a Mallet side who out fought, out ran and out played them from the first whistle until the last. Falmouth were unable to live with Mallet skipper Jacob Sloggett who tore them apart. Falmouth offered little in response and I can only remember one shot on target which was a tame free kick from the corner of the penalty area. Falmouth who have looked so good on their visits to Somerset in recent weeks never got any control of the game and were well and truly rattled by a Mallet side who ran out deserved and comfortable winners.

Academic really, if we want to win the play-offs, we're going to have to beat two of them.

90% of Helstons 1st team plus their manager travel down from the Plymouth area ! what connection do the Helston public have with Helstons 1st team ?? Not knocking it mind, what they do is their business. Congratulations to them on winning the Western league. From our point of view at Falmouth Town we are really proud of our players and backroom staff for giving us an amazing season reaching the last 8 of the FA vase, a semi final of the CSC to play this Wednesday at St Blazey v Newquay plus a draw this Saturday will ensure we are at home for the play offs. All this wonderful football watched by the Western leagues biggest attendances, Bickland park on matchdays is electric. Our journey under Westys management has been wonderful. There have been tears and there has been joy and we've loved every minute of it and look forward to more adventures together.

Roll on Wednesday evening !!!!

Congrats to Helston on a great season, maybe Mass 20/20 vision was it? Seems to be coming to fruition! Never knock a determined man with a dream! 👍👏🏼  And what a brilliant season again for Town, Westy well on the way to his statue in the entrance to Bickland Park!! A Vase Qtr final, 2 games away from another senior cup final win, and runners up in a really tough competitive league and 2 Bickland wins away from promotion! We could have Mousehole, Helston and Falmouth all in the Southern league next season!! In Mattelots defence he’s been away for a couple of weeks with his good wife on a well deserved luxury cruise for them both!! 👍️. Hope you’ll be refreshed for the play offs mate 😀👍🧡🖤

Well done to Helston on winning the title they’ve been there all season. 
I wouldn’t swap What Falmouth have done this season for the title though. 
the trip to Jersey alone was a once in a blue moon occasion. 
best away trip ever and of course we still have a chance of taking that other cup out of Helston’s trophy cabinet UTT 💛🖤

You wouldn’t  swap any of that for wining a title. 🤥

We still have a chance to get promotion to the Southern League yet, it's in our hands.
