TORPOINT HOME

"HOBSIE" ON THE MOVE !!
THE LOCAL DERBY CATERED FOR ?
We knew this was to be a difficult fixture against ex-Parkway coach "Stuart Dudley"and his team from across the Tamar. Both keepers played a major part in goal scoring chances, keeping them to a minimum. I thought play was a little scrappy in the first half, but not forgetting we scored twice but was dis-allowed. It took until the 85 min, before "Hobo" struck. He let go a rasper that rocked the back of the net. One of the options from the bench was new signing from "Dobwalls" young "Ryan Richards". He gave us some more bite up front. He was nicely positioned on the far post to head home our second goal on his debut. Lee Doel supplied the pin-point cross, and it put the game in our control for the three points.

TORPOINT HOME

MAN OF THE MATCH "MARC BONNEY"
For an outstanding game in our defence , up against the likes of "Carter", he did a fantastic job. After putting his name one the club award, this would have been the icing on the cake. Here we see him diving full length to head a great goal. But to our dismay was ruled off-side.

TWO AGAINST ONE
"Chris Wright" was always going to be closely marked in this so-called local derby.

TORPOINT HOME

TORPOINT KEEPER
Visiting keeper "Martin Piper" who incidentally had a fine game against us. Making some good saves. But to be honest , some were on the lucky side ??. Here we see him getting some female attention after a clash with "Brooksie".

"DOELY AND HOBSIE"
During the 90 mins of play, these pair combined well together and caused many problems for the visitors defence.

BODMIN TOWN HOME

BUMPER CROWD AT BOLITHO PARK
WE WERE 5 MINS FROM GLORY !!
A good crowd saw an entertaining game between two top of the table teams. General patter from the crowd had Parkway the better side. But we had chances that were squandered in the first half. The second period "Bodmin" somewhat came at us , but they also missed golden chances to score. But the football on show was still good. No options were played from the bench from Parkway, because the squad were playing well. It was late in the game, when "Hobo" cut in from the right flank. He shrugged of the challenges and found the net with a low shot. It was huge celebrations all round. But it was not to last. In the added time by the "Ref", they forced a corner. Just when we thought we had pulled off a great victory, from the corner it was a free header from close in the give them level pegs. But if I am to be honest, that was a fair result on the night.
"lidds"

BODMIN TOWN HOME

BEN ELPHICK
The home keeper in the first half ,never had a lot of clear shots on goal to bother about. Here we see him tipping this effort over the bar from a corner.
"lidds"

BODMIN TOWN HOME

SOLID IN DEFENCE
He had to be up to the mark in this game , to look after the likes of so called stars that I will not bother to name. But "Johnny Haveran" did just that. He gave us a solid 90mins.
"lidds"

BODMIN TOWN HOME

DANGERMAN ??
We all knew we would be facing an old favourite player at "Bolitho Park" by the name of "Mark Berry". We know of old, his natural left foot and skills , could cause us problems ?.
"lidds"

BODMIN TOWN HOME

ANOTHER DANGER TO US !!
This was the second player we know the skills of, is ex-Parkway member "Sammy Mathews"

BODMIN TOWN HOME

DANNY BROOKS
In this high profile game , after a one match suspension, it was good to see "Brooksie" back in our mid-field.

BODMIN TOWN HOME


THE GOLDEN MOMENT ??
This was the moment we thought we were to register the home victory. Underneath this pile of excited players was "Glynn Hobbs"who had just scored to give us the lead. But as we all know now , it was to be short-lived. Let us remember thou, against one of the high flyer's in the league, we did not WIN, but on the other hand ,we did not LOSE !! Next game Sat home to Torpoint.

THROGMORTON CUP

4 GOALS AT FOXESFIELD PARK ??
It took us until the second half to secure the result against the plucky Totnes / Dartington side in the 2nd round of the Throgmorton Cup. A very small crowd by our standards, saw a first half with neither side in control. But after the break the favourites to win the tie , it all came true. We over ran them by 4 clear goals. "Doely" got the ball rolling so to speak, with a full volley strike from 25 yds. Shane Kracc added the second and Chris Wright with a cheeky chip over the keepers head for the third goal. It was "Doely" on the scene again with a last touch with his head to notch the fourth goal. A credit to both sides in a cup match of unknown quality of both sides, to go 90 mins without a single yellow card. The hospitality shown to us was top class , and we wish them well.
"Lidds"

THROGMORTON CUP

CHRISSIE WRIGHT
Was always a threat to their defence. He registered our third goal when he lobbed the keeper with a lovely chip over the advancing keepers head.
"lidds"

THROGMORTON CUP

GOAL NO FOUR !!
"Lee Doel", hit a beautiful full volley from 25 yds to give us the lead in the second half. Here we see him again getting his second goal with the slightest of touches to guide the ball into the net from a cross supplied by "Hobo".
"lidds"

THROGMORTON CUP

"HOBO" CAME TRUE ??
"Glynn Hobbs", I thought maybe had a quite first half. But after the break they had no answer to his challenge. He played out wide on the left flank and saw a lot of the ball. "Lee Bevan" sent him away with through balls time and time again. "Hobo" contributed to our scoreline without doubt.
"lidds"

THROGMORTON CUP

"YOUNG PAUL HEVERAN CLEARS"
Since joining the club to play alongside brother "John", Paul has put in some great performances for Parkway.

THROGMORTON CUP

TRUE DEDICATION !!
In our away fixture in the Throgmorton Cup, it goes by rule, we had to supply a linesman. Our Chairman no less, "Jim Parsons", put his name forward for this task. He not only done a fair 90 mins, but he looked like a linesman also. We all say at the club "Jimmy" top man.
"lidds"

THROGMORTON CUP


CLUB MAN OF THE MATCH
Shane Kracc, for his continual running in mid-field. Also putting his name on the score sheet with a low shot. Awarded the prestigious man of the match cup. Next game on Wed 27th oct Bodmin Town at home.

FALMOUTH TOWN AWAY

BACK TO REALITY AND THE DREADED MOMENT ??
We were somewhat bounced back to reality after the away win at "Homers Heath". The miserable crowd by number must have been pleased to see us whacked by 6 goals. Also the added bonus for them no " Hobsie"in our line up. But to jump to our defence, when you lose your keeper early in the game , (red card) it is a losing battle. You can replace a out player to the same degree , but to take on the custody of the keepers jersey is a different matter altogether. "Lee Doel" took on the roll and had to face the responding penalty, for which was converted. After they scored again, options were put in place. "Doely" resumed his position and "Marc Bonney"came off the bench and took on the keepers roll. But let us face it , your on a loser. We battled on but to no avail. "Lee Coxon"got our single goal, but it was not going to be our day. We will without doubt "BOUNCE BACK".

BUCKLAND AWAY

BUCKLAND BLASTED OFF THE TOP ??
We took the league leaders off the top position with this brilliant away win. A good crowd saw them meet their match and accept defeat, for which they have not seen at home for a long time. An early goal from "Glynn Hobbs" gave us the start. Followed when he shot again , "Chrissie Wright" got the final touch for the 2-0 nil lead on the break. Second half they came at us, their first goal was a scruffy one from a corner. But the equalizer was a great header. We then lost "Lance Bailey" on a straight red. But showed some courage and took the lead again. It was "Hobo" again to see his shot turned in yet again by "sniffer Wright". Soon after he was brought down in the box. Last defender, so red card for them. "Brooksie" stepped up and Cooley placed us on top of the league with the more than convincing 4-2 victory. In spite of the 2 red cards given, the game was a credit to both sides. The Parkway "mob" would like to say thank you for the hospitality and friendship shown.
"lidds"

BUCKLAND AWAY


3 AGAINST ONE ??
As we guessed from the first whistle, "Hobo" was going to be closely marked ??. But this is going over the top !. But he still gave us the lead after 10 mins.

WE TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN
At this point we were level pegs, so when "Hobo's" shot was turned in by "Chris Wright "the squad celebrated for the slender lead of 3-2.

THE LONG LONELY WALK ?
After bringing down "Wrighty" in the box , and being the last defender. This Buckland defender had the long walk home !!

LOOK OF DESPAIR FOR WRIGHTY !!
Although on the score sheet twice, he was unhappy with this effort that was blasted over the bar !!.

BROOKSIE SEALS THE GAME !!
After "Chris Wright" was tripped in the box late in the game, it was left for the cool finish from "Brooksie" to notch our fourth goal from the spot.

BUCKLAND AWAY

"BEN ELPHLICK"
Ben had to be in top form for this high profile game. He did just that. It took the second half before he was beaten. But he brought off some brilliant saves to keep us in the lead. Next game Sat away to Falmouth Town.

LISKEARD AT HOME

"THE BLUES GET SIX"
"Ben"the Parkway keeper, never had a lot to do , in this home fixture . A good crowd saw some good football, and 6 goals. Play was fast, and I thought for once well marshaled by the "ref". It also was good to see us back to full strength, what with key players being away. "Hobbsie" put his name on a hat-trick, and Chris Wright placed a record with 100 goals. Scroll down and stay tuned.
"lidds"

LISKEARD AT HOME

SHANE KRACC
Another player we welcomed back from the "Spanish shin dig" (for want of another word ?) was "Kraccie". He came off the bench and was soon involved in the play. Since coming to the club ,his tough tackling in the mid-field has been an asset for us.

ANDY SARGENT
Just before the break we had to re-arrange the front line , when we lost "Sargie" through injury.

LANCE BAILEY
In the absence of "Will Stringer" (injured) Lance took over as our central defender. He was well backed up by Johnny Heveran and on the flanks he had "Lee Bevan and Paul Heveran".

LISKEARD AT HOME

DANNY BROOKS
Had a great game and saw a lot of the ball. He put his name on our second goal after 33mins from a corner. Not a classic ! but they all count.
"lidds"

LISKEARD AT HOME

"100 GOALS"
Chris Wright gave us the lead after 15mins when the "Blues" keeper messed up a simple ball. The ball ran kindly for "Wrighty" who saw the chance and thankfully slotted the ball in. He again scored when "Hobbsie" gave him a ball on the plate to finish from close in. It has been said that he is the first player to reach 100 goals on the South West League. If not so, I stand corrected ??.
"lidds"

LISKEARD AT HOME

"FIRE POWER"
It was good to get "Hobbsie" back from his Spanish Hols, and back in our firing line. He did just that with a thunderous shot by the near post to give us 3-0. On target again with a low shot for goal no 5. He could have scored yet again, but instead unselfishly fed the ball for Chris Wright to finish. But "Wrighty" returned the favour when he set up "Hobbsie" to complete his hat-trick. Without doubt our club Man of the Match. Next game Tues away to Buckland.

ST LUKES BOWL HOME

WHERE IS EVERYBODY ??
A poor crowd by standards turned out for the St Lukes Bowl cup tie against "Dartmouth Town". It turned out to be a slender win for us, remembering the victory also the week previous in the league. Both sides missed chances to score. So the single goal in the first half decided the issue. Danny Brooks who had a brilliant first half, made the opening. He evaded the attention of two defenders, and his clinical cross was duly headed home by Chris Wright. The "South Hams"visitors had their moments. They would have levelled, but for the trusty foot of Mark Bonney who cleared virtually off the line. Next round versus Argyle at home.
Stay tuned "LIDDS"

ST LUKES BOWL HOME

A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC FROM "BROOKSIE"

St Austell away

LINE OF RESPECT AT "POLTAIRE PARK"
THE "LILLYWHITES" SEEK REVENGE ??
St Austell were in no mood for a repeat of the hammering they had to suffer in weeks previous. They had us on the back foot for many chances. We took the lead from the spot after 25 Min's. But they played some good football, and to no surprise were back level on the break. The keeper was subject to a through ball. It was shot low into the corner. Second half we were under pressure. The break came for them by way of a free kick. Just on the edge of the box. In my day you put players on the posts ? So what happened, the clinical shot was placed in the top far post corner. We now had to face the banter we would get over our pint after the game. But the game is not over till that whistle goes. "Johnny Heveran", was our saviour when he headed a beauty from a corner to give us level pegs. But it must be said, we journeyed home with a lucky point in the boot ??.
