FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Good Afternoon One & All,
At the time of writing its cats and dogs outside with accompanying gale force winds, but all being well the weather has abated to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Street FC to Kellaway Park this afternoon. An extended welcome as always goes to our match officials, Jonothan Green, wife Aimee and Neil Rudkin.
Although this will be the second time Helston and Street have played each other this season, this afternoon is our first league encounter of the current league campaign given our earlier coming together was in The Extra Preliminary Round of The Emirates FA Cup. Played at Street the tie ended 2-1 to The Blues. Like then I’m sure this afternoon’s match will be closely contested.
When thinking of Street many will refer to as being the home of Clark’s Shopping Village, my reference however will be that of a football club with the warmest of welcomes and the unrivalled hospitality of any club I have visited. It is no coincidence therefore that Street FC are the current and well deserved holders of The Toolstation Western League’s Premier League Hospitality Cup. For anyone wanting to experience first hand, why not join us on a club away day on Saturday 18th March? For further details on match day travel, please do get in touch.
I can now confirm that The Blues will be holding its Annual Presentation Evening on Friday 26th May at The Tregenna Castle Hotel, St Ives. This seasons ticket package includes return coach travel, welcome drink, three course meal, presentation of awards and entertainment. Tickets will be available from the bar from Saturday 4th February at a cost of £40 / person. Should you want to treat yourself along with one other to an overnight stay, including breakfast, discounted rooms are on sale by calling The Tregenna Castle Hotel on 01736 795254 quoting reference ‘Helston Athletic Football Club Presentation Evening - 26th May 23’
All being well our next first team home fixture will be on Tuesday 24th January, kick off 7:45pm, when we host the winners of Falmouth Town v Barnstaple in the last sixteen of this seasons Les Phillips League Cup. Please follow The Club’s social media feeds for further details.
I think that is all for now, apart from wishing you all an enjoyable afternoon and, as always, recording a sincere thank you for your attendance and support
Paul Hendy (Chairman)Toolstation Western League
