FALMOUTH TOWN 3-0 CINDERFORD TOWN

Falmouth Town overcame our fellow Southern League Div1(S) opponents Cinderford Town in front of a large crowd this afternoon in their first FA Trophy game since 1981. Cinderford Town started strongly causing problems for the Falmouth defence. However, a first half goal against the run of play on the stroke of half-time by Luke Brabyn sent Falmouth in at the break at 1-0 up. A further goal from Rubin Wilson after a defensive slip made it 2-0 part way through the second half and another last-minute goal on 91 minutes from Oscar Massey, saw us into the next round. We now await the draw for the next round on Monday afternoon. To read the excellent match report CLICK HERE.

Like us, Cinderford Town gained promotion to the Southern League last season, their route was through the Hellenic League play-offs after one season at Step 5.

Our best run was in the 1977/78 competition, and saw us reach the second round, when we were defeated by Hendon. Due to Cinderford Town’s more recent Southern League status, their most recent appearance in the competition was in the 2022/23 season. Cinderford Town’s previous opponents have included Gloucester City, Truro City and Gravesend & Northfleet (later Ebbsfleet United). Cinderford’s best peformances in the FA Trophy have seen them reach the second round on no less than three occasions.

MATCH PREVIEW – BASHLEY v FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town will be on the road with a visit to Bashley on Saturday, August 31st, 2024 – K.O. 3:00pm. This game was due to be our first Southern League game, but was unfortunately postponed due problems with Bashley’s pitch.

Bashley gained promotion to the Southern League at the end of the 2021/22 season from the Wessex League Premier Division, after an absence of six years. Previous to this, Bashley were members of the Southern League from 1989 to 1999, when they were transferred to the Isthmian League, where they spent two seasons. Bashley were then transferred back to the Southern League where they remained until the end of the 2015/16 season, when they were relegated to the Wessex League.

So we can expect a very competitive game with a well seasoned Step 4 club. This will be our third game in the Southern League, and our first away match following games against Willand Rovers and Tavistock at Bickland Park.
