Not sure it was argyles fault more an admin error on Saltash part.  It sure Dane be too worried missing a long trip away that Bodmin now have to make 

Greygen - I was at the match and would agree in most part to what you have said.

The first goal was a flick on by Ed and it was scored by Meths. That was within 2 minutes - I felt the Callington penalty was extremely soft - the lad Koli had a very strong game at left back (although I believe he is actually a winger) but considering how powerful he was he went down to the slightest touch. But given and the ref was closer than me. 1-1 after 5 minutes. 
First half may mainly Camels with Callington playing on the break. Camels had a header cleared off the line from point blank range, had a chance where Gus rounded the keeper but missed an open goal - from a very tight angle, had a flick by Ed that left the keeper flat footed and hit the crossbar and about three other good chances to finish the game before young Cam made a great run and left the keeper no chance to make it 2-1 at HT. The incident you mention about the Callington 10 - he actually had the Camels defender in a headlock to ‘turn him’ - they are both powerful units and it was a clear foul - sorry.
 After the game the Callington management felt they could have been 4-1 down easily at half time. 
Second half saw Callington grow more into the game and I thought their two wide outlets were very good - it all just lacked a bit of quality / confidence in the final third. 
Camelford were then awarded a penalty - was it soft, it certainly looked it from where i was a defender won the ball, but I found out later it was for the reckless foot going over the top of the ball - I’m no ref but would not have been happy if awarded against me - maybe evened up the Callington Penalty? Scored by Ed 3-1 with 15 to go - frantic last 20 and Koli scored with a long range shot that took a wicked deflection with the last kick of the game.
Without wanting to discuss the ref, there are a couple of points I would make. Firstly Shaun actually officiates at Western Prem and even Southern now. Second point is he stood in at the last minute otherwise there would have been no Ref.
As for his decision making - it did all become very broken. He yellow carded a Callington player after about 7 minutes and spoke to the Callington captain 5 times in the first half about decent from Callington players. It was that, more than anything else, IMO, that had an effect on the game. He was getting abuse for every decision (and even after the match) and perhaps that is why Camelford got more 50/50 decisions. Perhaps, and it is only my opinion had he sin binned a few Callington players overall it may have helped the game. 
I was  very impressed by Callington, good squad with some very decent players. They are far better  than their league position and with a bit of luck and perhaps some thinking about their interactions with the Ref they will quickly climb the league. 

Tamar.man - Camelford played the game, missing their front man and two midfielders. Being second in the league is because they have beaten Dobwalls /Bodmin / Launceston / Newquay / Penryn / St Dennis / Sticker and now Callington and are the only team to have taken points off Liskeard, averaging over 3 goals a game -  all with a low budget / small squad and carrying injuries into every game - so perhaps they do deserve their current position?

Jack has been at Newquay from a early age and has always been loyal to them hes been brilliant this year and when hes not in the team Newquay are not the same and stuggle abit ,i know they won easy vs Wadebridge in the vase without him but Wadebridge had 7 players out including there whole defence ,But Newquay played well. NEWQUAY should waif the 7 day approach and let Jack play against Sticker on Wednesday hes been really loyal to N ewquay hes had chances to go to other clubs in the past and he wants to go and win trophies and play in the Western League against tougher opposition but the main reason is he wants to playin front of the F troop fans who are brilliant .So go on Newquay let the poor lad go to Falmouth on good terms then he may go easy  on you in about a months time at Bickland .I will miss watching him play but i think i will watch Ross Fallens and young ORLANDO fantastic players but Orlando seems to think he can beat th whole team on his own at times but what a exciting talent . Ok give Jack a gold watch pat him on his back say thank you for your loyal service and hope you do well .But knowing Newquay it will be  Off and dont come back here only joking NEWQUAY .I heard they are selling figures of Jack Bray Evans in th esouvenir stall this Wednesday but you got to use your own needles to stick in them . Ok the Jack Bray EVANS Era is over get ovrer it theres enough good players to take his place Alex Cole would be my choice .Ok see you all Wednesday when Wadebridge come town with a stronger team to give Newquay a harder game 

Mattelot - no offence at all. I’m not a great one for social media (don’t use Twitter / FB or any other such thing) - only really this forum and when I started doing reports I made a decision not to use surnames - couple of reasons - I have family connections to a player (was players) and didn’t want to be seen as showing favouritism in the reports and secondly the Camels had six under 18 year olds playing (still have 4) and whilst their surnames are out there I didn’t feel right, personally, using them on a public forum. I try to do the same with players from other teams, where I can and always for players I know personally. I also won’t mention any names if someone ‘cocks up’ from either team or even officials names. when good or not so good - just the way I am, sorry if it detracts from the reports.

Guys - the forum has been very quite recently and unfortunately lots of posts that don’t relate directly to games. 

As a ‘challenge’ there are 17 Cornish teams playing Vase or SWPL games tomorrow - if there are 17 ‘proper’ match reports (one from / for each team) - I will donate £10 to next years forum upkeep - anybody fancy following suit and getting things back to talking about football?

Guys - nearly a whole thread about football. Missing a couple of update (Rappo / Walltz / Wendron official / Dave D / Sticker- and maybe even Robbie and Le Boss) - so much better than West Briton lol
Couple to go - and £10’ given to the forum!!
As a quick Edit - it’s been about football and not having a go at each other - Carts may have slowed, JBE may have moved on but more to talk about amongst us that love going to local games. 

Camelford 3-2 Cheddar
Knew it was going to be a difficult game, Camels missing 2/3 of midfield and Cheddar doing well in the Western League 1. 

Game started brightly with Camels on top, but real cup tie - Camels dominating and maintaining possession but Cheddar looking bright on the break  
33 min Cam scores from a Ryan shot, would of been a penalty as handball on the line but bounced to Cam who scored.  
41 min lovely run by Ryan pulls back for Ed to calmly finish. 2-0 HT 

48 min Cheddar no7 scored from a breakaway - game on 2-1
Next minute Gus hits the crossbar with the Cheddar keeper stranded. 
62 min could of been a straight red card for Cheddar no9
65 min could / should of been penalty for Cheddar - not given
80 min Cheddar no7 scored again 2-2 - looked like penalties coming. 
83 min Gus scores a lovely goal from an Ed flick and a tight tight angle 3-2 and game over.
Proper cup tie - no quarter given by either side Camels deserved it over 90 but Cheddar should be proud of their fight back in second half  
Officials had good games  
Att 67

I for 1 will be reporting on the match at Wadebridge should be a cracker with the 2 leading scorers in hte league on opposite sides MATT LLOYD AND JACK BRAY EVANS ,i can see a Newquay win because Jack Evans is playing so well at the moment should be a great game .Thought for a minute iwouldnt be able to go because of the crazy buggers panic buying at the petrol stations .Going for a 3-1win for Newquay Jack to score 1st like he usually does .Enjoy your footy and get out there and watch a match dont sit on your asses and post comments on here when you havnt even been to a match

No!

Adam - sorry about the Pat Pat - it’s been a while since we spoke lol. 
I’ve watched The G a few times - I think what you are doing there is fantastic - a team many wrote off before your arrival but now looking a team that will challenge many and building again. 
You are right about Falmouth - teams can give them a real game, problem though is doing it for a full 90 minutes and no one has been able to do that - and to be totally honest I don’t think will - even Liskeard who are the one question left for them. But you never know they play to their best and Falmouth have an off day it could happen. 
Good luck for the season

What - the top referee in Cornwall who works for the Cornwall FA?????? Have you checked your facts properly before posting?

golong - can’t agree for a couple of reasons. First one is this years Falmouth team are IMO better than those teams who have recently been promoted. A couple of years work by Westy has brought together a very strong squad. Second reason is that not that many top players have actually left the league - look at the players who made Helston invincible a couple of seasons back - still playing SWPL or the squads at St Blazey / Bodmin - same players as have been in SWPL for several seasons. The difference is 10 or so of there other teams have got better. On any given weekend any team can take points off each other (perhaps excluding Falmouth at the mo) - surely it is more competitive? Surely by your reckoning every league gets weaker when the better teams get promoted - it’s the way of football. I still think the top six in SWPL Could give a lot of teams in the Western league a hard game - the way it has always been. 
There are worries about maintaining good teams who will do well when promoted - but some clubs are working towards that - Liskeard / Wendron / Camelford / Wadebridge / Dobwalls  etc. to name a few - as spectators I actually believe things are getting better with more competitive matches.
