FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Good Afternoon One & All,

Following last Saturdays win over Keynsham Town it's great to be at home for a second successive weekend, this time welcoming the players, officials and supporters of Ashton and Backwell United to Kellaway Park. As always we also welcome our match officials, who this week are Stephen McCulloch, Sam Doble and Scott Coutts.

Having hit five without reply against our visitors away from home last season, the home fixture was a much tighter affair with Helston narrowly coming out on top by three goals to two. For those that remember, Ashton’s goals came from the substitutes Charlie and Connor Saunders, both of whom have again been named in today’s travelling squad.

Turning away from this afternoons match, what a great all round weekend it was for ’The Blues’ last week. In addition to the Firsts, the Development / 3rd team squad returned home having secured three points with a single goal victory over Hayle Reserves, whilst on Sunday Helston Women maintained their 100% league record with a four goal to one victory away to Mousehole.

On to Monday and what a battling performance from Helston U18’s who twice came from behind to beat Kernow Youth League title rivals St Blazey here at Kellaway. As they say "the match had it all”…. seven goals, a penalty, even a St Blazey red card. There were a number of outstanding performances from Helston’s young guns in particular Man of the Match Sam Pallet and double goal scorer Ross Dunstan. I'm delighted to share that Ross has also been named in this afternoons squad.

After today I’m afraid there is no further footballing action here at Kellaway until next Saturday when The Reserves take on Mousehole Reserves in The Kernow Stone St Pirans League KO 3:00pm

Here’s wishing all an enjoyable afternoon and as always thank you for your attendance and support.

Paul Hendy (Chairman)
