Redruth Utd 0

Illogan 12

Will keep this brief.  Illogan - class.  Probably the best I've ever seen them against us.  Redruth - poor.  I'll hold my hands up as manager, but I'd expect the majority of the squad to do exactly the same.  An embarrassment .  Enough said.  Over and out........

Redruth Utd Res 1

Apart from the fact that we lost this game, I have a stinking cold, so I will keep this one brief.

The visitors deserved more than just an hour and a half of exercise and felt hard done by not to take home a point from this game. Praze took the lead towards the end of the first half, but Redruth equalised in the second, only to lose out to a cross which was not dealt with early enough.

Special  thanks should go to Ben Beesley for his well taken goal, Matt Leach as MOTM and the ‘WAGS’ and Moey for turning up to watch in a monsoon.

Redruth Utd 1

Mawnan 2

Redruth bowed out of the 2nd round of the Junior Cup but will kick themselves for allowing a first half lead slip when Tom Byrne closed in on the keeper's spill from Barry McCabe's freekick. 

The Reds held the lead until the last 8 minutes only to see Mawnan score two late goals - the winner in the last minute.

John Salmon was man of the match.

Perranporth 1

Redruth Reserves 3

Both teams have been used to winning recently and have managed to work their way to the third and fourth spots in the table.  However, it was the Reserves that managed to steal all three points, in a game full of contrasts from start to finish.

Perranporth sported a neat looking tracksuit for their warm up, whilst the Reserves found themselves fighting over socks again.  The home side managed to pull off a warm up drill that the ‘Red Arrows’ would have been proud of, whilst the Reds belted long range balls at Brian in goal, before having to go and retrieve it from the hedge.  It must have been manager Darin Thomas’ pre- match speech that spurred the players on to victory, with phrases like, “the season starts here….we gotta’ fight for the right to party”.

Against the run of play, in- form striker Ben Beesley managed to score two first half goals, following a succession of route 1 balls over the top of Perranporth’s defence.  The home side managed to get a goal back before half time from a corner.

It was obvious from the beginning of the second half that Perranporth intended to get straight back into the game, but spells of persistent pressure down both wings failed to break the Reds defence.  With twenty minutes left to play, substitutions were made, if not just to bring on ‘fresh legs.’ Kevin Endean marked his return to the Reserves by spending ten minutes on the pitch and ten minutes in the dressing room, following a straight red card.  Personally I didn’t see it, but I have it on good authority that he was fighting a man twice his size. 

Jake Williams eased the pressure off the Reserves ten team, by calmly scoring the fourth goal of the game.  Credit goes to all players, who gave 100% throughout the whole game.  Beamer will be delighted not only to have received the ‘man of the match’ award, but because I finally gave him a mention.  Happy now?

Redruth won this tourno for the second successive year by defeating Falmouth Athletic 3-1 in the final with two goals from Like "Abbo" Abbott-Smith and one goal from Andrew "Mushy" Symons.

 Redruth's team comprised Abbo & Mushy, plus Adam "Smokes" Williams, Darren Lewarne and Jake Williams, with Ollie Lewarne providing cover as 6th man.

Redruth United held their end of season presentation recently at Redruth Royal British Legion.  First Team awards were handed out to Richard Ward for top goalscorer with 32 goals.  Ward also won the players’ player vote, a very popular choice by his teammates who recognised the strong contribution he played throughout the season.  To cap a hatrick of awards, he was also presented with the Captains Award by Phil Nicholls. 

James Petty, who had an outstanding season, particularly from September to January, won the Most Man of the Match Awards Trophy.  Andrew Symons was presented with the shield for Manager’s Player, with Darren Lewarne having recognised that despite his mid-season departure, and return two months later, Symons had been consistently one of the stronger players all season in the majority of his matches. 

Also acknowledged were Ryan Baber, Adam Townsend and James Petty for reaching 100+ games for Redruth, as well as Simon Barrand for having surpassed 300 games.

For the Reserves, it was the Justin Pascoe show.  Pascoe - who confessed to having won nothing before in his footballing days - was voted Manager’s Player, Players’ Player and Most Man of The Match Awards Trophy.  Jake Williams picked up the Top Goalscorer Trophy with 25 goals, having narrowly avoided a late surge by Kevin Endean who scored 24 goals in the final 13 games of the season.  Reserve Team captain Steve Hick award the Reserve’s Captain’s Award to Redruth stalwart Nigel Andrew.

Ali Walford won supporter of the year.

Darren Lewarne has jumped out of a plane...

Thank you for all my support from friends and family on a long day at Perranporth.

All sponsorship money, once collected ('cos I didn't chicken out, or die!), will be used to help to support fundraising activities for two causes: Redruth United FC, and a very important cause in “The Sunrise Appeal”.  Funds raised will be split 50/50 between the two.The Sunrise Appeal was set up to raise money for a new clinical oncology department at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro to care for patients with cancer.  One of our players -  Steve Hick - was diagnosed in October last year with cancer, and has been well-supported by the good work undertaken at Treliske. 

Thank you
