Premier Sixes Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Duchy 5 line up Callington Res, St Mawgan Res, Pelynt Res, Stoke Climsland, Bridgerule, St Merryn Res, Southgate, Perranporth, Premier 6s reserves, Sticker Res, Delabole Res, Mevagissey Should be an interesting season P6 res team is looking pretty strong already, Bridgerule and N Petherwin seem to have done well in the Devon league, Perran should be quite strong, Sticker res have quite a few of the best Charlestown U16's from last season going there if what I have heard is right, Southgate were once a force and Callington will probably be playing their youth players - should be a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer Follower Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Does seem like a lot of long distance travelling for Perranporth to places like Callington,Bridgerule,Pelynt,Stokeclimsland,Southgate and Delabole. Nearest games are Premier Sixes and St.Mawgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elia Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah north petherwin shoulde walk this league p6 can beat anyone on there day but if there like there first team they wont be consistant enugh. and talking of long distance traveling i just looked at duchy 4 and seen Gerrans been demoted to that league thats a very long way to go for our reserve side, surely they shoulde be in the FAL/HELSTON leagues?

Soccer Follower Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I would say that Perranporth-Bridgerule is further than Altarnun-Gerrans,after all it is a few miles north of Launceston. Gerrans expressed an interest in joining the Falmouth Helston League last year but didn't turn up at the AGM,i understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I was at the AGM. I felt it was dissapointing to allow the top two divisions to have less clubs. The reason given was the clubs would have more time to play cup-ties if they progress. This is nonsense, why should they be given this helping hand? What if a second division, or even third division club progress? They will be handcapped by having to play more league fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elia Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 the top 2 leagues have an extra cup the KO cup, thats why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elia Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 No problem, can u tel me when u start ur pre season training, as we dont start til nxt weekend, and im thinking everyone else has probably allready started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Newlyn East AFC Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thought the top 32 only played in the Knockout Cup then everyone else played in the Duchy League Cup. Then the Reserve teams play in the Reserve Team Cup. Don't think the Knockout Cup is an extra Cup Competetion. Thought Mike said that having less teams in the Prem and Div 1 was intended to give the 'top' sides in Duchy League a better chance of winning the Junior Cup.

Dave Deacon Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Duchy Football League AGM ... from the League's website Eight new clubs were elected into the Duchy Football League at their Annual General Meeting. Applications from Bridgerule, Callington Town, Mevagissey Reserves, North Petherwin, Perranporth, Premier Sixes Reserves, Southgate Colts and Sticker were all successful after being recommended by the Management Committee. Four other clubs left the league with St.Stephens Borough and St.Dominick being accepted into senior football and Newmoor Rovers and St.Breward Reserves both disbanding. Secretary Mike Newcombe in his annual report praised the work of his colleague Colin Atkins who passed away back in March and also that of the Chairman Paul Stevens who was stepping down after twenty years in office owing to ill health. Mr. Stevens was presented with a silver salver by President Len Lobb at the end of the meeting to reward his service. Mr. Newcombe added that two clubs had withdrawn from the League before last season started and two others Padstow United and Menheniot withdrew at various times during the season. With two clubs also found guilty of serious breaches of rule regarding the eligibility of players it proved to be a difficult but ultimately rewarding season. He added there was no place for that kind of behaviour in this league if he was to continue in office. He thanked the league sponsors Bodmin Trophies and Cup sponsors Jeffery’s Estate Agents, Wovina Embroidery and Hillcrest Nursing Home for their support, and also all his fellow officers and management committee for their efforts. Treasurer Phil Edworthy was absent working abroad, but in his absence a healthy profit and loss account was presented to the meeting. Officers elected for 2008/09 President L. J. Lobb, Chairman C. Burrell, Vice Chairman P. Collings, Secretary and Registration Secretary, M.J. Newcombe, Treasurer, P. Edworthy, Fixtures Secretary, K. Franks, Assistant Secretary T. Steed. The League Management Committee were all re-elected en bloc. Mr. Stevens the retiring Chairman was made a Life Member of the League. Two rule changes proposed by the Management Committee were accepted but a rule change proposed by St.Minver was defeated. Sporting Trophies were presented to Pensilva, Premier Division, St.Minver, Division One, St.Cleer, Division Two, Lewdown Rovers, Division Three, St.Mawgan Reserves, Division Four and St.Austell in Division Five. The award for class seven referee of the year was won by David Lobb of Par, and the Secretary of the Year Award was accepted by Brian Powell on behalf of St.Austell’s Lee Allen who was unable to attend the meeting. The new season will commence on Saturday 16th August and will run until the 31st May 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Richards Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ACTUAL LINE-UP FOR DUCHY DIV 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmanaldo Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Duchy League Division 5: Bridgerule Callington Town Delabole Reserves Mevagissey Reserves North Petherwin Pelynt Reserves Perranporth Premier Sixes Reserves Southgate Colts St Mawgan Reserves St Merryn Reserves Sticker Stoke Climsland I think that's correct. With 8 new teams it will be a very competitive league, with 4 or 5 very good sides in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrans expressed an interest in joining the Falmouth Helston League last year but didn't turn up at the AGM,i understand. i played gerrans in the junior cup about 3 seasons ago for falmouth albion great day going on the ferry i fort we playing in europe with all the travelling they put great food on if i rememberd rightly. massive pitch tho.
