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!

SALTASH UNITED 0-3 FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town progressed to the next round of the Cornwall Senior Cup with a convincing 3-0 win over Saltash United at the Kimberley Stadium last night. Town’s first goal came after twenty-six minutes from Jack Webber. The first half finished 1-0 to Falmouth Town.

The second half started lively with the home side pressing for the equaliser. With Cam Hutchison making way for Luke Barner after sixty-five minutes, it was Barner who put Town 2-0 up just three minutes later. Town striker Rubin Wilson made 3-0 with a well deserved goal some seven minutes later, effectively sealing the game. Tonight also saw new signing Fred Walter make his debut appearance for Town. Manager Andy Westgarth made two more substitutions as Falmouth Town ran down the clock. With Kian Thomas replacing Rubin Wilson and finally Ned Symons came on in place of Tom Annear. The game finished 3-0 to Town. We now await the draw to see who we will meet in the second round.

FALMOUTH TOWN SIGNS FRED WALTER

Falmouth Town are pleased to confirm the signing of defender Fred Walter.

Walter joins from St Blazey having previously played for Helston Athletic and Wendron United. With James Ward moving onto Mousehole and Tom Fisher out with a broken ankle, Walter’s arrival will help bring a solid presence to strengthen Town’s back line.

Walter told falmouthtownafc.co.uk;

“I’ve always admired Falmouth Town and their fans. I’ve always said to myself I want to play the highest level possible.”

“I’m a hard working and honest player on and off the pitch. I’ll give everything for the club, management and team mates.”

“I hope I can establish myself and Falmouth at Southern League level.”

Manager Andrew Westgarth said;

“I have been a long time admire of Fred over the years and tried to sign him when he left Helston but he felt he needed regular game time and choose to move to St Blazey instead.
Another player who fits the profile perfectly, young, local, hungry to play and test himself at this level. Fred can play anywhere across the back line so I’m delighted to get him in.”

MOUSEHOLE 3-1 FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town bowed out of the 2024/25 Isuzu FA Trophy after a 3-1 defeat today, at fellow Southern League side Mousehole. The only Town goal came from Cam Hutchison in the fourth minute.
