FALMOUTH TOWN 0-3 BASHLEY

Falmouth Town could not maintain their excellent home record in their first season at this level with a loss against visitors Bashley having already suffered a 2-1 loss away to them earlier in the season. Unfortunately Falmouth conceded in the 3rd minute when Bashley captain Stephen Walker rose at the far post from a free-kick and headed it low to Morgan Coxhead’s left and just inside the post. On 28 minutes, Bashley went further ahead with Walker scoring another header, this time from a corner from the left. Bashley scored again in the 3rd minute of injury time from Wagstaffe after a defensive error to make it 3-0 at half-time.
Bashley went down to 10 men after 28 minutes of the secondnd-half with Connor Whitely being punished after a strike to the head of Town captain Tom Annear. A further red card was brandished in added time with a Bashley substitute again felling Annear with a late challenge resulting in a further head injury but the score remained at 3-0 and Bashley look contenders for the play-offs. We go again this coming Tuesday when we entertain Bideford, more details soon.

FALMOUTH TOWN 2-1 EXMOUTH TOWN

FALMOUTH TOWN 2-1 EXMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town maintained their excellent home record this season in front of another large attendance, with an eventful and hard-fought win against high-flying Exmouth Town, who started the day in 2nd place in the league. The first-half ended goal-less which reflected the even nature of the game with neither side creating any clear-cut chances.

It was the hosts that struck first five minutes into the second half. Falmouth Striker Oscar Massey picked up the ball just inside the Exmouth half and outpaced the visiting defence to create a one-on-one with Phllips in the Exmouth goal, ending in a side-foot finish into the corner to make it 1-0. Ten minutes later, the game took another turn as Falmouth defender Harrisson Jewell was given a straight red card following a challenge and resulting skirmish involving an Exmouth forward. Falmouth could then only hold out for a further ten minutes as Callum Shipton equalised for the visitors.

Exmouth were in the ascendancy but it was Massey again who put Falmouth ahead on thirty-one minutes. Picking the ball up from deep, he out-sprinted the Exmouth defence and drove into the box, only to be brought down for a clear penalty. Massey picked himself up to despatch the penalty into the roof of the net to make it 2-1. Exmouth thought they had levelled it on ninety minutes, only for the assistant referee to intervene after a long consultation with the ref and Falmouth held on through eight minutes of injury time to claim the win to the rapturous applause of the home crowd.

FALMOUTH TOWN – CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

FALMOUTH TOWN – CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

A Personal Statement from the Chairman – Dean Robinson.

It is with a heavy heart that today I have resigned as Chairman of Falmouth Town. I was honoured to be asked to lead the club forward having reached the Southern League for the first time. Having listened a great deal to supporters and their suggestions and ideas, I always knew that this position would be a transitional role for this season. So due to irrevocable differences with the club my position has become untenable. I know that this club will remain at the centre of our community and I will continue to fully support the club in everything it does moving forward.

This club has something very special and in my opinion is the best non league club in the country, we have a dedicated band of volunteers that do much behind the scenes to ensure the running and your matchday safety, thank you for all you have done and will do.

I would like to thank everyone that has supported me on this journey, and look forward to meeting you at up coming matches.

Up the town!
