Helston have 3 x mens teams plus the Ladies and Vets play every home game on the main pitch and I think I'm right in saying they've had no games off yet. Pays dividends by putting the work in on the pitch pre season.
Absolutely horrid conditions at Helston last night, fair play to the ground staff who prepared the pitch for the forecasted deluge, especially second half! Hats off to anyone who braved the weather too, would've been easy to stay in and watch Argyle on BBC 1.
Efficient display from Helston today. Pretty even first half, Buckland should’ve scored when a great ball from the left not put away but otherwise even Stevens at HT. Early penalty for Helston (stonewall) second half was complimented by an amazing cross field pass by Jordan Copp for Shepherd to emphatically finish, 2-0! Helston then managed the game out - performance of Champions? Maybe.
Helston 1 - 0 Porthleven. Great local derby cup tie, 2 good young(ish!) teams and well reffed by the young man in the middle. Interesting to see Mattie Buchan and Charlie Young both make an appearance off the bench for Port.
Just a rumour but heard the prospective buyers got shown around the site of the new ground a few days ago. Doesn't sound like the Pirates going in to the new site either.
