Andrew Westgarth talks all things Falmouth Town with Dave Deacon ahead of our home game with Exmouth Town, on this weeks Cornish Soccer Podcast.
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 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.”
Falmouth Town suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat at Bristol Manor Farm yesterday. The only Town goal came fro a Cam Hutchison header in the first half. The Man of the Match award goes to Luke Brabyn.
James Ward has decided to leave Falmouth Town. James has been a stalwart for the the club since he joined in 2018. Known to the fans as “Wardy”, he has captained the team and saw us through our journey from the South West Peninsula League to the Southern League. He has also been an instrumental player during our cup exploits over the last six years. Everyone at Falmouth Town would like to thank him for his service and we wish well in the future.
