ELBURTON AWAY

SHARED POINTS
A game we should have won on the single goal . Brother to brother saw the chance for Matt Cusack to open the scoring for us. But this was with a setback, when we lost him with a hamstring injury. Second half they were the more prominent side, but we held out. But late in the game, a simple mistake by the keeper gave them the simple equalizer. As you have already read in the press, the future manager for the new season will be the return of Gez Baggott. He will be assisted by an old ex-player and favourite at Parkway by name of Wain Hillson. I'm sure with with this double act in control we can do no better. Let us hope we can return the good days at the club, which I thought as late has been missing ??

MAN OF THE MATCH
Taking on the roll of central defender with the absence of Matty Hawke. Josh Fenwick done a fantastic job. His heading dominance was outstanding in all the attacks on our goal area. He was my Man of the Match.

Next game Sat away Holsworthy.

DARTMOUTH HOME

SCRUFFY ! BUT 3 POINTS !!
A disappointing crowd saw an untidy game from both sides. We had to avenge the earlier defeat from the South Hams outfit namely Dartmouth Town. But play was not at it's best. Chances from both sides saw the final shot way off the target. Matty Hawke was strong in our defence well backed by Kinsman and Ryan Brett. Remembering that John Haverman sidelined on the bench through injury. It was late in the game before the deadlock was to be broken. We forced a number of corners. This was when "Lee Doel" managed to get the last touch on the ball. It was untidy but strong enough to cross the line. But to be fair, on my part a draw would have been the result. However, the last games for us now will be all important for us to win ??.

LAUNCESTON AWAY

RESPECT IS SHOWN AT PENNYGILLAM

After the dismal result up at Witheridge, it was good to see us claim all three points at Launceston. Chris Wright gave us the lead after 33mins. Then before the break we were on target again when Deano Smith shot through a melee of players. Play was end to end and they had their chances. But they found Parkway keeper Ben Elphick a real brick wall. He made some great saves keeping us in the game. On the 90min whistle we were glad for the result. Because just of late , the morale of the squad has been low as a Frogs bum !!. So, we tackle now the last games in the league to determine were we will end up ??. But always remember ! it's only a game of football !!

BUCKLAND AWAY

SECOND BEST AT BUCKLAND !

Although I thought we gave a good account of ourselves up at Homers Heath, the current league leaders secured the win. We went behind with an early goal . A low ball struck well away from the keeper. But we levelled before the break when Andy Sargent headed a high ball inside the far post. Second half we had our share of the scoring chances. They took the lead again with a simple header by a player unmarked on the far post. The second blow was when keeper Ben Elphick was stretchered off after a 50-50 challenge. Play was allowed to go on so the empty net saw the third goal . It was now all uphill against the league leaders. I was more than impressed with the set-up at Buckland, and the hospitality shown to the committee at the break was first class. Next game now Sunday 1pm. Never mind the Church, get yourself up to Witheridge. We can sing some hymns on the way. If we loose, we can say a prayer together ??. I trust we had a safe trip home. Have a nice day and stay tuned.

PENALTY !! 3 TIMES

PARKWAY 2 TAVY 5

This was a game that was for the supporters.

Yellow cards, 7 goals, and three penalties.

We got back into the game after the first

spot kick. Parkway keeper fouled in the box. Andy Sargent headed us back level. Andy again gave us the lead from a Deano Smith cross that "Doely" miss-judged. the ball ran for "Sargie" to finish. But they were back level on the break with quickly taken free kick that caught us flat footed. After the break it went all wrong. A hotly disputed goal that we claimed was kicked off the line. Then "Ben" again infringed in the area. The second spot kick was taken. Then to make it a full day, "Ryan Brett", a clumsy tackle in the box saw the third penalty. A lovely evening, a good crowd but the result was not in our favour.

PARKWAY 4 PENZANCE 3

THIS WAS THE FIRST GOAL !

Well! I would not say we were at our best, but we showed some spirit and won. The first time they broke into our half they scored. We got level when John Haveran paved the chance for Andy Sargent who turned on a sixpence and fired home. We saw the break again trailing. Ben Elplick was drawn off his line and the ball found the net from an acute angle. Second half we were level pegs after Arran Cusack fed the ball for Sargent to slam home his second goal. It was not long after that Chris Wright gave the opening for Sargent to register the hat-trick. Late in the game now, but Deano Smith saw his moment and slotted away goal number four.They did respond with a scruffy goal late in the dying seconds of the game. A nice day in the Sun but a disapointing crowd in attendance.

PENZANCE AT HOME

WHO ME !!

In the dying seconds of the game a slight

miss-understanding occured between

the visiting keeper Sid Taylor and myself.

It appeared that the ball was not retrieved

quick enough to his liking. He gobbed off

to the linesman and referee. The "ref" offered

my grandson and myself a seat in the stand. From which we declined. Taylor is a keeper I greatly admire, but maybe a bad loser. When your beaten 4 times in the 90min period, that will go without saying ??. If you read this "Sid", no bad feelings, have a nice day.

BODMIN AWAY

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 3 POINTS ??

We certainly bounced back after the Good Friday game. We took the Cornwall Senior Cup winners right to the final whistle. A meagre crowd by our standards, saw the first half with play end to end . But the second half was a different story. We pounded their goal time and time again. But the home side with their second choice keeper kept us at bay. He had to make many brave saves to stop us grabbing the winner. We thought we were there when Lee Doel saw his simple header hit the underside of the bar and run clear. Marc Bonney had a strong game, well backed up by Josh Fenwick and Johnny Heveran. They combined well to snuff out completely their main threat to us ??. Parkway keeper Ben Elphick had a quiet night and handled with ease all that came his way. A good result for us against the high flyers in the league. I trust we had a safe trip home. By the way!, did "Ohagan" play ??????

GOOD FRIDAY DERBY V ELBURTON VILLA

BAD FRIDAY ??

FROM HIM TO ME !!

PARKWAY 1 ELBURTON 2

All thanks must be forwarded to the dedicated ground personnel who made the fixture possible. Namely Alan himself, helped by chairman Mark Young, vice chairman Gez Baggott and chief inspector Stuart Cadmore. In my absence due to holiday, Alan reports to me it was not the best of games. Both sides at fault for poor quality football. The meagre crowd saw the break on no score. Second half the visitors broke the deadlock when their veteran striker "Lee Harvey" gave them the lead. Going further ahead with ex-Parkway player "Ross Saint" getting the second goal. It was now going to be all uphill. Visiting keeper "Simon May" who I rate highly in the league for keepers, was the main stumbling block for us. But his one mistake gave the chance for "Carl Curtiss" to register our single goal in reply. Next battle now is Wednesday 7th April Bodmin Town away.
