boosh12 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 So i was just wondering who everone thought the trophies were going to this season. Or is it too early to tell. My predictions so far... Duchy Prem - St Teath Duchy 1 - St Cleer Duchy 2 - Bodmin Saints Duchy 3 - Bere alston Duchy 4 - St Austell Duchy 5 - ? Just an opinion.

Woodmanaldo Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Duchy Prem - Edgcumbe Will be really close but they I feel will just sneak it - although could be anyone of 4 teams. Duchy 1 - St Cleer They seem to get results despite not always being at their best - the sign of a good team. Duchy 2 - Week St Mary A very open league in which any team can beat another on their day. I think Bodmin Saints have more fire power but Week St Mary will just shade it as they seem to be a results team. Duchy 3 - Bere Alston Don't know much about this league - but looking at the results so far I think they will win it. Duchy 4 - St Austell This is a no-brainer, St Austell could hold their own in the Duchy Prem. They have strength in depth and a number of class players. Will win virtually every game I think - although Premier Sixes & St Dennis will fight to the end. Duchy 5 - North Petherwin I originally thought that Perranporth were going to blow away this week, although they haven't been as good as of late. Sticker have a class side for this league with a number of players that played senior football last season, although I think North Petherwin will sneak it, although the top half of Duchy 5 has a number of sides that could cope with playing at a higher level.

Bigdawg Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 boosh all u have done is look at current league tables and seen who looks like they are in the best position at the moment!! Dont think your way off the mark though in the Duchy prem as tafc gaffa suggests, its out of Edgcumbe and St teath id say, as much as he likes to think torpoint are gonna win it!! Some massive games still to play, St teath have yet to play torpoint or st dennis at all, so we'll see. Think Saltash could win Div 1, but cant really say anything bout anyone else as i've never seen them play!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie bates Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 St Dennis will not finish lower then 2nd in Duchy Premier Bidawg and St Austell have far from won Duchy 4. St Austell have a good experienced side with plenty of quality but when the dryer weather and firmer grounds come along they will struggle against younger fitter teams. They were fortunate to beat St Dennis Reserves on sat, but with the ball holding up it helped them at the back where they are very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdawg Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 jonnie, st dennis are a good side, better than torpoint in my eyes after playing both, but they have already lost 2 of the 'big games'. they need to win the respective fixtures to stand a chance of winning it, both away from home!

johnnie bates Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yes got to agree can't afford to lose the away fixtures to Point and Edgcumbe that is true. However we have to play St Teath twice and that will tell us who will be pushing Edgcumbe for the Title. (my opinion tpfc.gaffa only) after watching all the teams apart from Edgcumbe. We have a tricky game on sat at Lamerton where Edgcumbe only managed a 3 - 2 result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tafc.-gaffa Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 To be honest Bigdawg your Edgcumb arent the side you think you are!!! Yes you beat us but to be fair i thought St. Dennis are a better side than you. You are top of the league but your wheels will come off and there will be 3 teams ready to pounce. I back my side to be capable of winning the title, why wouldnt i, they are up to it and im the manager so that makes sense you clown!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdawg Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 tafc gaffa, so u should believe u can win it as manager, it was only my opinion and a few others on here by the looks of it. And judging by our performance against u lot st dennis wouldnt be the only team that are better than us on that display, we were awful and we know it, but still got the 3 points without playing any football on a small pitch, and to beat a so called title challenger with plenty of gears to move into is only encouraging for us. We are happy to have got all of our hardest games out the way, away from home. Ok we dropped points to st teath which probably proved to be a good thing in terms of us being kicked up the ass and we have all our big games now at home. Jonnie, Lamerton are actually not a bad team, the league table lies in that respect. They have had probably their best player out for a while i think in 'swifty', who on his day can win a game on his own. so as u said maybe quite a tough game. They are def a team who can cause an upset, same with many teams in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tafc.-gaffa Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Only backing my team as it looked you were questioning me doing so!!! I think we are all capable of upsetting each other and to be fair i cant see you doing what Boro did last year. I dont doubt how good your side are and cant wait for us to get stuck into you again and turn up this time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmanaldo Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 St Austell have a good experienced side with plenty of quality but when the dryer weather and firmer grounds come along they will struggle against younger fitter teams. They were fortunate to beat St Dennis Reserves on sat, but with the ball holding up it helped them at the back where they are very slow. Yeah St Austell are probably better going forwards than they are at the back - can't see much chance of dryer weather for a while though! A fair point though - if I had to look for weaknesses in their side I'd say it was a lack of pace at the back. As they're in Duchy 4 I don't think they'll have much competition this season though as only really Premier Sixes & St Dennis Reserves can compete with them. Tougher tests will come as they start to move up the leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTW Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think Perranporth will still win the Duchy 5, despite the hic ups an poor home form! There has had to be a few swaps and changes here and there with the Fal/Hel 2 side but we should still finish top. We have a strong enough squad to do so - will be a big game when North Petherwin visit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elia Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Duchy Prem - Torpoint When we (Altarnun) beat them at there place they were 2 confident and a bit shocked that a newly promoted team were up 4 it. But when they get going they will be a class team. Duchy 1 - St cleer They have a winning mentality and are well organised, saltash will push them all the way thow. Duchy 2 - Week st.mary The most consistant of the big three ( bodmin saints n Probus) and improve every season, and they get some lucky deflections off that electric cable that goes over there pitch! Duchy 3 - Looe reserves Good young side and not much competition in this league. Bere alston will hit there self destruct button after christmas they allways do. Duchy 4 - Prem 6s Have a massive player base and can get goals from allover the pitch, a bit weak at the back. The title coulde well be decided when they meat St Austell at Tretherras. Duchy 5 - NORTH PETHERWIN They should win this two horse race, there a good football ing side, but the resent loss of there goalkeeper to higher league team coulde have its affects on there moral.

wally6 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think you all maybe wrong with your predictions for division 2 winners. St anns chapel are now unbeaten in 6 after a total rebuild of the squad, and with the best young manager in all the leagues and a team that has an average age of about 22 i think you'll soon see them in the premier.

They appear to be on a good run after a poor start. I heard they were out-played by Probus recently in their 1-1 draw. Division 2 won't be an easy league to get out of, as everyone is capable of taking points off someone else on their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally6 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 maybe in spells in the first have we were but it was one way in the second, all probus ad was the counter attacks. But with a new stricker from bere alston first team we should now get the goal diffence up. Shame the team wasn't rebuilt until the 3rd game, heavy defeats in those games make the table look bad for us. The goal they scored was a long shot which caught are keeper unsighted.

boosh12 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yeah duchy 2 is a tough one to call. Before the league had started i knew what players bodmin saints had and to be honest some of there players. But when week st mary beat them which could mean something at the end of the season. When i played St anns chapel (st Breward) it was a very close game, and the last minute lucky goal done it for them (but thats the game) but they are solid at the back. Will be intresting to see if they can get results on the road. Any team in duchy 2 that can get a good run of wins going in the season should be in with a good shout, we have thrown our chance away by losing to teams that we should of beat.

Chapelmanager Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I would say the 1st half was a decent contest ( St anns vs st breward), BUT the second half was completely dominated with all your tactics consisting of give the ball to Jamie kay and hope he can get past our defence. If we had a couple clinical finishers (which seems to be what we are missing) then i feel it could have been 4 or 5 to us. St anns manager (the loud 1) haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only picked teams that i have seen or played against. For exhample i know some of the players of st Teath and have seen them play a couple of times. Where as i have never seen edgecumbe or torpoint play. But normally the teams looking good going into christmas have a good shout surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie bates Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Lamerton 3 - 1 St Dennis St Dennis Res 1 - 3 Biscoey Res Not a good weekend for St Dennis with both teams losing to teams they would expect to beat. I watched the Reserves today and although having 2 or 3 players with experiece and 1st teams games they thorougly deserved there win. As for the 1st Team the manager told me it could have been 5 or 6 to Lamerton with neither Saints teams showing any heart or fight for the games today. Well Done to Lamerton and Biscovey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tafc.-gaffa Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 St Dennis will not finish lower then 2nd in Duchy Premier That makes great reading after your result today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie bates Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Will still stand by that tafc although our performance today was lacking any real fight, and Lamerton could have had 5 or 6 by all accounts. Only had 2 players missing so it was a poor result but you can't take away from Lamerton the fact they deserved to win. Will see how you get on there. See u in a fortnight when you try and take OUR CUP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tafc.-gaffa Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I would never take away what Lamerton do as we have had great battles with them over the years and know that they are a great team on their day, with some top players ie Swifty and their keeper. Long way to go in the cup, your just another game on the way. We cant wait for it and glad you have had a blip to rock your good start to the season!!!

Bigdawg Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 not overly suprised by lamerton beating st dennis. yeah st dennis shoulda won on paper, but lamerton could cause a few upsets this season, they are a good side and usually raise it against the better teams. they will only be boosted by yesterdays result for their match v torpoint next week.

Bigdawg Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 my predictions based on my opinions on who we have played so far: 1. Edgcumbe 2. St Teath 3. Torpoint 4. St Dennis To be honest the top 2 could be either way around, but im gonna be biased here!! Same goes for 3rd and 4th really. Out of all 4 teams i think Edgcumbe, St Teath and St Dennis are the better all round teams. Torpoint rely too much on their strikers and if they have an off day they will drop points thats why they wont finish in the top 2. But i think St Dennis have dropped quite a few points already and that will be the difference between the 3rd and 4th positions. Only my opinion im sure quite a few people may disagree!

Guest BATESY NO 9 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 duchy prem as follows: 1st. torpoint 2nd. foxhole 3rd. gunnislake 4th edgcumbe 5th.st teath 6th. st dennis Rob can't see you finishing in the top six now mucker great result for Torpoint on saturday destroying a very good Lamerton team 5-1, even though the keeper made 2 mistakes he also made 5 top draw saves. So that now means you need to beat the top 4 twice a peice and hope they loose alot of games on top of that, maybe next season will be a more realistic dream for you now, a shame as Foxhole have some great heritage. As for Torpoint I feel we will now push on and give St Teath and Edgecombe a real test until the end of the season. If we beat Edgecombe and St Teath twice we will win the league. The performance on Saturday was TOP CLASS every single player including the 3 lads that came on played really well, my prediction as follows 1st Torpoint 2nd St Teath 3rd Edgecombe 4th St Dennis Merry xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest edgcumbetillidie Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 It's going to be a real close call in the prem. I think any of four teams can do it, and it all depends on the "grand slam saturdays" if you will, between those teams. I think all four teams will drop more points but at the end i think it will finish: 1. Edgcumbe 2. Torpoint 3. St Teath 4. St Dennis Only my view and I dont think there will be a lot of points in it, but I think Edgcumbes impressive goal difference could serve them in good stead.
