The Torpoint Massive Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Torpoint Ath 2-0 Buckland Ath Att 165 Two quick fire goals from James Rowe and Ryan Richards in the 77th and 79th minutes was the difference between the two sides. The match was played on a difficult surface still thawing from the recent cold weather. It wasn’t a pretty match with both teams trying to get used to the pitch. Torpoint have now done the league double over the Bucks this season.

Paul Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 St Blazey 2v1 Barnstaple Town. Att.162 St Blazey continued their perfect start to 2024 making it 3 wins from 3 (First time ever at this level) against a Barnstaple side who went into the match having only lost one match all season. George Newton opened the scoring with a neat finish in the first half. St Blazey made it two in the second half after good from Downing down the right and he smashed the ball across goal for Smale to poke home from close range. Barnstaple pulled one back in the dying moments. St Blazey can now look forward to the trip to North Devon on Saturday when we face Ilfracombe. Let's hope they have some electric this time round. 😂 Good to see Rappo there yesterday and get a copy of his book. Look forward to reading that. 📚 👍 Railwayman in Exile, RAPPO, RichieBlue and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager obviously has his own mind about players coming and going and let’s face it, hard to say he’s doing anything wrong at the moment. It’s another one of them arguments like playing local boys. Nice in theory but not always the case in practice as nearly every team has found out.

Both Sides of the Tamar Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Saltash United 1 Clevedon Town 0 Football can be such a strange game! At the back end of last year I saw a succession of Ashes games where they played some lovely football, created plenty of chances (virtually all missed) and lost a series of games mostly by the odd goal. Galling, but the potential of this squad was clear to see. Further, the Waterways seemed a much more welcoming place. Indeed, I even specifically posted at the time that the first shoots of a revival could be happening at Saltash! So back to yesterday! This was the tightest of tight games. Chances as rare as a NFFC clean sheet! The winning goal came from a through ball that Joe Preece held his nerve to convert in a one on one with the Clevedon ‘keeper in the 48th minute, to help light up a gloomy and freezing day. Great stuff! At half time I tweeted that the Ashes had matched the then league leaders. In the second half it was more of the same. Every player battled superbly. They closed down their opponents, battled and earned the right to play. It was a titanic team performance! A great shift from every player. The only thing missing was a better final ball and better ball retention / game management in the final stages. Minor quibbles on a top effort by the Saltash boys! A neutral would certainly have struggled to tell who was at the top and bottom of the league respectively. In truth I couldn’t see Clevedon scoring. The Ashes made them look less than ordinary! Such was their comfort my eyes were often diverted to the away dressing room and the saga of three men trying to open the door. Eventually a chisel and drill came to the rescue as the second half ticked away!! MOTM - everyone really! Seems unfair to single someone out! This fella in the Truro City hat certainly enjoyed another gripping afternoon at the Waterways Stadium! Well done Ashes!

You'd think living so close to Efford and being of Efford stock I could break and enter.

They have a game on Tuesday against Barnstaple and if we get the rain forecast I bet it’s called off.at this rate some teams will be playing 3/4 games a week at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Torpoint Massive Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 TWO QUICK FIRE GOALS SEALS POINTS Saturday 20th January Torpoint Athletic 2-0 Buckland Athletic Toolstation Western League, Premier Division Torpoint Athletic got back to winning ways on Saturday afternoon at The Mill when they did the league double over fourth placed Buckland Athletic, they were victorious in the away fixture in early August when they won 4-2 at Homers Heath. The match at The Mill was played on a difficult playing surface, still thawing from the recent cold weather, but that didn’t stop both teams trying to play some good football and it was two quick fire goals from James Rowe and Ryan Richards in the final fifteen minutes of match that sealed the three points for the home side. Torpoint came out the brightest of both sides when on the fifth minute, good build up play by the midfield found Ryan Smith to see his effort from the edge of area well saved by Tyler Coombes the visiting goal keeper. Then two minutes later while the hosts had possession in the area, Ryan Smith and Paul Heveran both had chances which were well blocked by the visiting defence. On the 18th minute Owen Stockton for the visitors takes a strike from the edge of the area, the ball takes a flick and goes over the cross bar. On the half hour mark as The Bucks are coming in to the game, Cieran Bridge’s clever feet sees him dance around the hosts defence, he slots the ball to Teigan Rosenquest who sees Reece Shanley overlap, the ball is collected by home keeper Olly Sidey, who is making his debut for Torpoint’s first team. With ten minutes remaining of the first half, the visitors create another good chance. Ryan Bush turns and shoots on the edge of the area with Sidey saving the ball easily With the second half only two minutes old when good build up play by the hosts finds Louis Rooney who puts the ball across to Ryan Richards, who just can’t reach it and the ball runs away. On the hour mark, Torpoint are trying to find way through to the visitors goal. Richards breaks clear of the visitors defence and has a one on one with Tyler Coombes, but his effort goes straight at the keeper. On the 73rd minute the visitors floats the ball into area, Reece Hendrickson leaves for Josh Grant to smash his effort from 6 yards, but Sidey the home keeper does well to block the effort. On the 77th minute the hosts break the deadlock. Good work by James Rowe just on the edge of the box sends in a cross come shot which nestles in the top far corner of the net to put the hosts in the lead. Two minutes later Torpoint double their lead when Ryan Richards beats the offside trap and breaks clear of the visiting defence, he fires home past Coombes. Then straight after the goal its goes from bad to worse for the visitors when Reece Shanley is sin binned and Buckland are reduced to ten men for ten minutes. With five minutes remaining, Louis Rooney for the hosts breaks clear of the visiting defence and has a one on one with Coombes, who blocks his effort. Torpoint Athletic: O. Sidey, P. Heveran, D.

RAPPO Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Great to see you Paul, excellent performance and well deserved 3 pts. Think the team have really grown into the league now compared to the start of the season. Fast paced game and nice and physical too, cracking game to watch in front of a decent 162 crowd and always a pleasure to watch a game at Blazey. Pitch looking superb as well after all this crap weather! Keep up the great work mate! Along with me old mucker Sweeter & Hudds 👍⚽️👏🏼 Nice to see Lafs as always, wanted to say well done to Brad & Mooney but the boy wanted to go home and beat me at darts!! Unfortunately he lost 5-2 with a 112 out shot thrown in too 😀🏹 Good luck to Blazey for the rest of the season, looking forward to the next time ⚽️👍👏🏼 Chris Davey, Thecupfootballblogger and Paul 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the most confusing part of the sin bin process, that a yellow card is shown, because unless you know the permutations, it can be strange to see a player shown two yellows and not be sent off. The above table might help to show the various outcomes. But on principle a sin bin can see a player receive 3 yellow cards in a game. Depending on what those offences are determines how many, and whether the player can return, is sent off, replaced by a substituted, or take no further part in the match.

I expect Falmouth will make a charge up the table and could soon be putting pressure on Helston. A sorry showing from Millbrook, I know the results haven't been better but I thought these big scorelines were behind them. People have said it but credit to the players for turning up each week.

Or the Western League? A promotion may attract a few more through the gates... I see most Clubs flicker around the 150 mark which seems respectable for Step5 in the SW, Helston seem to have the same most weeks with only the odd week under 100. Apart from Falmouth and occasionally Bridgwater, not many routinely attract over 250. Footy follower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
