ROSS POPE – FALMOUTH TOWN LEGEND

ROSS POPE – FALMOUTH TOWN LEGEND

Ross Pope is the next name to take his rightful place on Falmouth Town’s Wall of Legends.

Joining from Troon after a stint with Town’s reserves, Ross made his first-team debut on March 4th, 2001 in a 1-1 draw away at Torpoint. Over two separate spells with the club, Popey established himself as one of the all-time greats in Town history, amassing an incredible 393 appearances and scoring 14 goals – placing him 6th on the all-time appearances list.

After his first five seasons with Falmouth, Ross followed manager Steve Massey to Truro City, where he achieved the ultimate dream of winning the FA Vase at Wembley in 2007. His love for Town, however, brought him back in 2010, and he served the club with distinction until his retirement in 2017.

From a player’s perspective, Ross was the epitome of reliability and professionalism. A top-class central defensive midfielder, he was the player you wanted alongside you in the trenches – disciplined, hard working, and with an engine that never quit. Though not the most vocal, Ross led by example on and off the pitch, earning universal respect from teammates and opponents alike.

As a manager, I had the privilege of working with Ross during my first two seasons. His wealth of experience, calm demeanour, and professionalism were invaluable to the group. His presence helped shape the team during those formative years, and his influence extended far beyond the pitch.

To this day, I’ve never heard a bad word spoken about Popey – a testament to his character and impact on the game. While we don’t see him as often as we’d like, he’s still a regular supporter and a proud member of the Falmouth Town family.

Thank you, Popey, for your loyalty, dedication, and contribution to Falmouth Town. You’re a legend in every sense of the word.

DIDCOT TOWN 3-2 FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town returned home empty handed after the 519 mile round trip to Didcot Town on Tuesday, November 12th. It started well for Falmouth who went ahead in the 16th minute through Bradley Leivers, after some great attacking play. However the lead lasted only two minutes before Didcot found an equaliser through Jenson Wright. Bouyed by this, the hosts took the lead through Luke Carnell on 26 minutes from a corner. Falmouth Town continued to press forward, with Falmouth denied by two clearances and a third shot hitting the top of the crossbar. The half ended 2-1 to the hosts, but not before the Didcot No:10, Jenson Wright earned a yellow card for fouling Oscar Massey.

The second half started with Falmouth enjoying some sustained possession, but were unable to break down Didcot’s defence. This was followed by some end to end football with both teams having chances. Falmouth made a double substituion with Jarod Sims & Luke Barner making way for Cam Hutchison & Olly Walker. It was on 83 minutes, when Olly Walker got on the end of a long pass, to set up Oscar Massey for the equaliser. Another substitution saw Rubin Wilson come on for Luke Brabyn. In the last minutes of normal time, Falmouth earned a free kick about 25 yards out, but Andy Elcock’s shot was denied by the croosbar. It was in the second minute of injury time when Jenson Wright got into the box and finished low under our keeper to win the match. The ‘Man of the Match’ award goes to Luke Brabyn.

We now turn our attention to Saturday, when we travel to Cribbs in Bristol, in search of those three points.

FALMOUTH TOWN 0-1 CINDERFORD TOWN

FALMOUTH TOWN 0-1 CINDERFORD TOWN

Falmouth Town fell to a defeat, as bottom club Cinderford Town emerged the winners in this mostly even clash at Bickland Park. No clear chances were created for either side until 22 minutes when Alex Knight missed a very good headed opportunity from in front of goal. Within a minute Falmouth’s Luke Barner missed with an overhead kick from an Oscar Massey cross. Massey was booked on 34 minutes for simulation when he appeared to have been barged off the ball in the box, with the crowd baying for a penalty. On 36 minutes, two balls over the top of the Falmouth defence were both not capitalised upon by Cinderford’s Alex Bonthron although Falmouth Keeper Morgan Coxhead came off his line well both times to unsettle the forward. The half finished with a Massey run at the visiting defence but his powerful shot cleared the bar and it was 0-0 at the break.

Nineteen minutes into the second half, and Cinderford’s Joshua Jones hit the bar from a speculative shot. With the game looking like a 0-0 draw, Cinderford struck the killer blow 10 minutes from time when Bonthron rose at the far post to head in after a great cross from the right touch-line. Falmouth made some changes but Cinderford survived and recorded a great win to aid their survival chances.
