CLUB STATEMENT – MALCOLM NEWLAND

Malcolm Newland has been an integral part of Falmouth Town Football Club for an incredible 50 years. From starting as a 10-year-old selling programmes, to serving as a committee member, chairman, barman, and director, Malcolm’s contributions have shaped the club in countless ways.

Alongside his unmistakable charisma and charm, Malcolm has dedicated the past two decades to ensuring our club operates smoothly, often single-handedly managing the day-to-day tasks to create a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Malcolm’s quirky personality and unwavering commitment have become synonymous with Falmouth Town, and we hold him in the highest regard for everything he has achieved. However, there comes a time when even the most dedicated among us need to slow down. While Malcolm isn’t ready to retire just yet, he is beginning the process of handing over some of his responsibilities.

This transition marks an exciting opportunity for Malcolm, who can enjoy more well-deserved downtime, and for the future growth of the club.

As many of you know, this season we welcomed new caterers, Dale and Amy (“Damys”), who also run their own business from the car park. After much discussion, Amy has kindly agreed to take on some of Malcolm’s daily duties.

With a strong background in hospitality management, Amy will work closely with Malcolm in the coming months, supporting him and learning the ropes of running the social aspects of Falmouth Town Football Club.

We hope you will join us in giving Amy a warm welcome as she settles into her new role. At the same time, we extend our deepest gratitude to Malcolm for his continued dedication to the club and all that he has done over the years.

Best regards,

Falmouth Town F.C.

EVESHAM UNITED 4-0 FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town went down to a 4-0 defeat at Evesham United in this afternoon’s Southern League encounter. The early play saw a shot on goal by Luke Barner after only 6 minutes. However Evesham were soon back in the game and it was their captian, Amer Awadh who put them ahead on 10 minutes. Just thirteen minutes later, Evesham were gifted a second when Morgan Coxhead put the ball in his own net. The first half ended 2-0 to Evesham United.

The second half started with another Evesham goal from Levi Steele on 50 minutes. With the score at 3-0, Falmouth now had a mountain to climb. Town now made two substitutions with Oscar Massey and Rubin Wilson replacing Jared Sims and Cam Hutchison. Evesham put the out of reach when Levi Steele scored his second goal on 67 minutes. On 68 minutes Harrison Jewell was replaced Jack Webber and Andy Elcock was replaced by Andy Westgarth. The game ended after five minutes of injury time with the score at 4-0.

CRIBBS 2-2 FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town gained an early lead through an own goal by Cribbs defender, Reece Hedges. Despite some great chances and controlling much of the game, the first half finished 1-0 to Town. Cribbs opened the scoring in the second half with a superb overhead kick by David Duru. Just six minutes later, and Cribbs were back in front after Bailey Croome scored stright from a corner. Town made several substitutions with Andreas Calleja-Stayne, Jared Sims & Luke Barner making way for Jack Webber, Cam Hutchison & Rubin Wilson respectively. With time rapidly running there was some late goal action when Bradley Leivers scored a stunning header on 85′ to level the score. With five minutes of added time, Town kept pressing, but the score remained at 2-2 at full-time. This result leaves us eighteenth in the table, just above the relegation zone, but a point is a point. The Man of the Match award goes to Bradley Leivers.

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.

FALMOUTH TOWN 2-3 YATE TOWN

Table Toppers Yate Town won this close encounter with the odd goal in five having trailed twice in this Southern League encounter.

Kian Thomas opened the scoring for the home team on 7 minutes courtesy of a cross from Luke Barner. Yate then started to dominate and equalised 17 minutes later from James Byrne. However Falmouth went ahead again after 32 minutes, Thomas holding the ball up well before the ball was diverted to Luke Barner and the half finished at 2-1.

Yate upped their game again in the 2nd half and within 13 minutes they were level courtesy of a wicked deflection from a Will Christopher effort. Yate were not finished and took the lead on 76 minutes through Ross Stearn after a great chance for Falmouth’s Oscar Massey was not converted.

In the 6th minute of injury time, a free kick was won by Falmouth substitute Marcello Jones wide on the right. Tom Annear found Jones from the restart who hit a fierce shot from just inside the box against the Yate crossbar and Yate survived to register a hard fought victory in front of the large home support.

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.
