A midweek start to the season for our U13 Girls, playing against Looe in the opening league match of the season...

🔴 A fantastic start to the league season with strong result against a committed and rapidly improving Looe team.
The first half saw 3 quick goals from Maia the poacher, all great finishes from some instinctive positioning in and around the box.
Our general play was a little forced however, we didnt quite link up or release as quickly or smoothly as we can and it was a challenge for the 2nd half to make more use of wide areas and throughballs.
It was pleasing to see much more of that in the 2nd period, several moves from back to front with some quick short sharp pass and move football.
4 more goals for Tingos came, with the highlight being Gracie's curling effort into the far corner of the goal from just outside the area, great strike!

4 matches this weekend with league action kicking off for 2 of our teams...

🔴 U13s had a tough away trip to Bude in their opening match of the U13 Premiership. We really failed to get out of the blocks from kickoff and some lapses in concentration cost us badly as Bude raced into a 5-0 lead.
Going in a half time, a reset was required - reclaim the focus, play with some intelligence, up the communication and get the simple things right.
The second half was a much improved performance, we still conceded ground and chances, but the focus was 100x better and there were moments of quality that show we are more than capable. No goals conceded in the second half to provide some positives to build on.

🔴 U14s had their last pre-season friendly against Biscovey at Home.
With our focus on shape and getting the ball down, the kids played some really good football at times and the first half especially we played the better football.
Unfortunately we got punished with a few lapses and a simple ball over the top or quick counter attack or even a couple of freak goals cleared high into the air and dropping in.
We kept trying to play our football and showed some good determination to play some combinations play and was good to see the ideas being made but another day we would have better luck.
Very happy with the performances again and looking good into the first game of the season next week!

🔴 U15s refreshed/new team took on St Cleer & Liskeard U14s in a pre-season friendly.
With only a few training sessions as prep, some mistakes were inevitable and many of the goals conceded today came from our own doing.
When got the ball on the floor we played some brilliant football. What impressed me the most about the lads was at no point did our heads drop and we were easily the better team in the final quarter and I’m incredibly proud of them all!
Lots and lots of positives to take from today and I’m really positive about the season.

🔴 U18s took on Saltash Wolves away in their first league match of the season, coming away with a 2-0 defeat to a good side.
It was a tough first half battling the wind against us so the defence and our keeper was busy but coped very well.
The opening goal was a very good headed goal from their corner, to which sometimes you have to applaud the finish rather than criticise ourselves. We fought very hard and went in at half time 1-0 down.
After half time we competed more in the air, played some good balls down the channels and had them pushed back a bit more.
We pressed very well without the ball in the second half and good hard work from Oscar, Mack, Zak and Elliot in midfield. Noah and Ryan put good shifts in upfront supported by Miles, Reuben and Olivier.
We went 2-0 down midway through the second half which seemed slightly harsh after Shyam made a good save. Ellis, George and the back 4 all battled well all game. We look forward to next week to go again.

Two friendly matches this morning in Dobwalls with U13s taking on Perranporth and U14s tackling St Blazey Lions.

🔴 U13s hosted Perranporth Timberwolves in a final preseason friendly before season start.
Very grateful to our opponents for coming at short notice and they provided excellent opposition.

For us it was a great performance, the movement with and without the ball was really good and use of wide areas, particularly first half, was exactly what we practised at training recently.
Great to see Noah and Monty back in action after missing our previous friendly, both showing what superb defenders they can be in their body position in 1v1s, blocking shots and distrubution from feet.
A debut for Preston in midfield who showed great determination and skill to keep control of central areas and drive us forward.
And another debut with Dougie who was purely tasked to show no fear, be confident and take on positional guidance. He met these challenges well and showed a good touch and pass when he was able to get on the ball.
🤝 Joint PotM for Ollie and Freddie today. A hattrick for Ollie and two for Freddie, with them assisting eachother between goals.

🔴 U14s played St Blazey Lions who were very well set up and exploited every opportunity they got today including dangerous set pieces and goal kicks.
We took our time and for 60 mins we allowed them to play and settle into the game too easily, looking lethargic at times and missed something in the middle.
There were sparks throughout in Cam who was strong and looked dangerous, Fin was rock solid as usual, Barney and Isaac done well on the wings we just didn’t get the ball to them enough.
Fair to say we weren’t at our best today and conceeded some freak goals that you can’t do anything about sometime.
Plenty to take from today and a welcome to Brendan in goal for his first ever outing. Can’t wait to see what he can bring to the team going forwards. 👐 One more to go before season start!

One friendly match today in Dobwalls as the U14s prep for the new season takes shape, taking on St Day Smelters this morning in the sunshine.

🔴 What an amazing result today. The performance and attitude throughout and what a difference we’ve seen from some of previous games.
Last 2 friendlies played against top division sides last season and only being 1 goal in it, showing some fight today that may have taken St Day by surprise!
It’s a great performance to carry into the season!

With only one sub to manage the heat and quick tempo of the game was rough and managing some injuries I have to applaud them all and a massive thanks again to Connie, our U13 keeper for stepping in and didn’t look out of place and made some great saves and looked solid. Our player of the match 👐

Our goal came from continued pressure and aerial battles we won when Arthur’s headed effort came off the bar and rebounded in by Henry.
We were unfortunate not to grab a second in the last 10 mins where we had 2 or 3 chances.
Big thanks aswell to Dobwalls U18 Ellis for reffing the match ⚽️

Some golden looking pitches at Dobwalls hosted a few friendlies today as our teams set themselves up for the new season...

🔴 U10s hosted St Cleer & Liskeard in an afternoon friendly.

🔴 U11s hosted Looe, Charlestown and St Cleer & Liskeard in a friendly round-robin set of fixtures.
A great morning with some fantastic football on display - well done to all involved and thank you to our visiting teams.

🔴 U13s played out an energetic friendly against a hard working and well drilled Lanivet team.
Our opposition provided the perfect challenge, their ability to shift the ball and press quickly meant we had to be at our best to match them.
But a strong defensive display from Paige and George set a foundation to build from, the two Ollie's and Elsa showed their class in midfield to create openings and the goals were well taken from Aubrey, Charlie and Ollie B which secured a confidence boosting win.
Great game of football, big thanks to Aubrey and Arlo from our Dobwalls U12s who stepped up to boost our numbers.

Some friendly matches to catchup...

⚽️ U14s had two friendlies this week.
Last Tuesday we played away to Lanivet in what can only be described as ‘one to forget’! 🙈Shaking off the cobwebs was much needed but it was a tired and lethargic performance... much needed game in terms of preperation for the season, but not much more than that!

On Sunday we faced a very strong St Stephens team from league above us - so was a good challenge and I feel we rose to it superbly!
We held our shape well, fought for each other and played some really nice football almost back to our best performances in the last year.
Not easy playing in the heat but everyone put Tuesdays game well behind us and only a goal separating us today... Great way to bounce back!

⚽️ U18s took on Saltash in a preseason friendly on Sunday, a much needed run out for fitness and good to get the team out playing in a match scenario. It was in extremely tough conditions with heat, hard surface, fitness and a lot of players operating in different positions at times.
We competed well throughout the game and only our fitness at critical points of the game meant we struggled. Really pleased with the effort put in from all players and the acceptance of playing different roles at times.

Ground cleanup day!

Big thanks to our grounds team and several parents and young helpers today.

Strimming, cutting, sorting and cleaning - getting it ship-shape for the season ahead.

Pitches were cut and remarked and all the fence and enterances strimmed to make the whole area look much smarter.

Organising and sorting our equipment containers and litter picking produced a van full of rubbish for the tip!

Well done everyone ❤️⚽️❤️
