Is that to play up front with your top scorer of the western league or replacing?

Alongside Jared Lewington I presume, haven't heard he is leaving. Don't know what that means for Ryan Bush though.

My favourite local footballer - Ryan Richard’s - signs for Buckland. Fantastic for Bucks if Lewington on board too. Very happy with that news!

Rob Farkins must be a relieved man, won't have to mark him next season. 😁

Think Farkins lack of pace is critical now. Gets booked too often too. He was great for PPFC in his prime!

Real leader in that Parkway side, effectively the manager on the pitch. Him and Nick Milton were a great pairing in that first Western League season. Very popular around the club as well, made a point of talking to all the volunteers before a home match.

Milton & Farkins at their best utter rocks in defence for Parkway in their pomp!

[Foul Throw 3]

Damerell, Shepherd and Payne all due to leave Helston announced on the club's twitter. Can't say I'm surprised with the increase in travel going up to the SL and can't imagine they'll be the last to leave and stay elsewhere in the WL. 

[Crouchy85]

Word at the weekend was they're all signing for Torpoint? 

[sportsman10]

I can’t understand the logic in getting promoted then leaving.  
wonder if any of them will end up at parkway.  Shepherd a big loss.

All three are quality players at this level. Payne is under-rated and was missed when not available in some of the games I saw. 

Challenge now for Matt Cusack and Steve Massey to replace them. Won't come cheap. Hope they don't look to their nearest neighbours. (And don't mean Porthleven!)

Will be interesting to see where Jack Bray-Evans and Reece Thomson play next season. Both released by Parkway.

[Saltash Tim]

Confirmed on club twitter Payne and Shepard have signed for Saltash.  Very happy with that.

[sportsman10]

Saltash must have some sugar daddy appear to prise them away from helston. What gone on there ?  Still don’t understand how you win the league and leave.

The bit of experience that Saltash were crying out for in midfield, and the proven goalscorer that their general play deserved.

Two superb bits of business by Macca Brown.

 

 

[Saltash Tim]

They may have young families and don’t want all the extra travelling.   They definitely haven’t left for the money, that’s for sure.

Would be surprised by that. JBE on an upward trajectory regarding the standard he wants to play at. No disrespect to Newquay.

Is Mconie back at Newquay? Decent team in prospect if they keep Louis Price and the rest of last season's squad. Mconie would be a loss for Mousehole though. If true, seem to have a few drifting away for various reasons.

You could be wrong there in regards to money! I guess you will have to keep guessing and writing your opinions 👍

It may only be good business for 1 season, as if Saltash gain promotion, would these players look to join another Western League Club in the following season? Very difficult to build a stable and successful club if players don’t have the same ambition. Feel for Helston and their manager.

How right you were! Fantastic signings for Saltash. They had a really exciting young side last season albeit not always coming away with the results, most scorelines and reports suggest the games were always tight. With Payne and Shepherd on board it could turn those close defeats into close victories!

Can't see JBE going back to step 6 football in the SWPL (I have no idea of his personal or work circumstances though). Step 5 with St Austell may be worth looking out for...

[sportsman10]

Seems the ambition for a lot of young players isn’t there anymore. Dropping down leagues rather than testing yourself at higher level. 

 Falmouth seem the only sustainable team that seem to have ambitions and core group of  players that want  a real go at higher level football. .  
 

[100%cornish]

Sorry to hear JBE is being let go by Parkway but he has had a lot of injuries and will be out for a while yet ,i can see him going back to Falmouth hes hero worshipped there like Rappo was and still is ,Just imagine Jack and Oscar Massey up front they would take some stopping and the amount of goals those 2 would score .

Hope Jack would return to Newquay but hes got to get fit 1st and Newquay are building a good side but i have heard the 2 players bein mentioned from 2 different people that Cam Turner is going to St Austell and Louis Price but now that JBE is available i bet he goes to Falmouth and Louis stays at Newquay .

Heard a couple of players on the move 1 from St Austell and 1 from Wadebridge but im keeping there names quiet lots of rumours no doubt 

[Buckland Jim]

Six players depart Buckland

Really think he's what parkway needs? Can't see it myself. He's probably gone because Ryan Richards has joined and lets be honest he ain't playing over him.

Maybe, but Matt wright has been playing that sort of level for years and I've watched grant a few times, and majority of time he's been bang average

Reece Thompson seems to move around a lot, as I believe he signed for Mousehole from Saltash a year or two ago, played at Parkway, now signing for Helston. A good player though.

Is that his doing or has the decision been taken out of his hands? He scored a few goals for Parkway last season but not enough to suggest he was up to that level, and if he wasn't retained then he has to find a new club from somewhere. Seems strange that he left Mousehole due to the distance to only head back to Helston this season when he's a Plymouth based player (assuming he is anyway!)

If it was a choice between keeping him or Matt wright. Then keeping Matt wright on instead was ridiculous. I expect it was more he wanted a new challenge and knows the manager and a lot of the players down at helston.

Think Mousehole train 2 nights a week in Penryn, heard that Helston train at Saltmill in Saltash (where I believe Reece Thomson lives). That cuts the travelling right down.

[Crouchy85]

Helston train in Saltash? That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. They're being used and abused to the hilt. No wonder they don't have any Helston based players.

Wouldn’t it be great if Truro had an open training season once or twice at the new ground before the season starts, to meet/chat to their supporter/sponsors etc, and let them have a good look around the facilities. Not a Truro Supporter, but I think I would be tempted to an open invitation.

Hardly uncommon, or new.  listened to Dave's Podcast yesterday, and Falmouth Town trained in Devonport in the 70's!

No idea where they train now, or where they plan to be in the future, but think that Truro used to train in Exeter.
