PENZANCE AFC v FALMOUTH TOWN AFC

[Bananaman]

What a great match to go and watch on boxing day...will the gloves be off in this big local derby?

Any Predictions??

I say a high scoring game with the odd goal nicking it...4-3 to Pz!

Bananaman,

I think that it is on for a Draw, but if I were to put my money on it I think Falmouth will edge it by the odd Goal,

Hammers

All are welcome to Fortress Penlee to see if the Town can tame the Magpies, or to watch Penzance slap down those upstarts from Bickland. :)

This was the regular Boxing Day fixture after Falmouth left the Western League and was last featured over 20 years ago.

26-12-89 JSWL Penzance 0 Falmouth Town 2 (Chris 'Dodger' Long /Gary Wignall.

since then Falmouth and Truro contested the Aubrey Wilkes Trophy on Boxing Day.

What sort of gate you expecting Paul? The (SWPL) Penlee record is 411 v Mousehole so can the 500 be achieved?

prediction PZ 1 FT 2- see you at Penlee Park 2-00pm K.O.

[Mike Odgers]

The Magpies are overdue for a win-

Since Falmouth rejoined the SWL in 1984, 23 League and 3 cup games have been played at Penlee Park between the clubs.

Penzance have only recorded victory twice 1995-96 W 2-0 and 2000-01 W 3-1.

Cornishteddyboy, this being a season of good will, I do not think that was very nice of you to call the Falmouth team upstarts,

Can you explain what you mean by that comment,

Hammers :c:

I have noted from the Penzance website that the match is being video'ed by Ron Vercesi formerly of Falmouth and Penzance.

I hope it can be highlighted here on 'YouTube'

Hammers, Hammers

One must learn to take a joke.

Lighten up my son.

Couldn't you work out it is a way of trying to drum up some support through the gate!

I doubt it, they'll be trying to flog a couple of DVD's at the next home game.

Cornishteddyboy,

I congratulate Penzance on their win over Falmouth I would liked to have been there,( Family commitments ) it must have been a cracker, because I read that Falmouth were 3-0 down at half time,

I look forward to PZ visiting Bickland Park in the Future,

Hammers :c:

[Fiery Jack]

To be honest, it wasn't a classic but it was enthralling: PZ's first goal somehow squirmed through the keepers hands, while the second and third (second especially) were supremly well taken. Falmouth came back magnificently after the break: their second was also a cracker. PZ had one shot on target in the second half: against the bar. I lost count of the number of great saves Butcher pulled off and the number of last ditch goal-line clearances we somehow managed.

The whole came was framed by a double sending off and what looked from the sidelines like fairly convincing Town penalty appeals.

Still, three more points will do nicely, even if we did play our "get out of gaol" cards every few minutes! :)

A second successive hat trick from the wonder kid Rundle

Falmouth have NOT scored a hat trick from any player in their entire South West Peninsula history.
