[Football] Helston vs Falmouth

Kosh said:

Went along to my first fa cup game in a while, down in the deepest West Country ... what a brilliant club Helston are... they won too, 2-1... two goals in the last five mins.

The first time they’ve ever got past the preliminary rounds... an historic moment to witness.

502 souls attended, a superb day and £6 to get in... not too shabby.

I went along in my Albion shirt, along with my son, and got some lovely comments - around what an amazing club we are and how much our story resonates in the lower leagues.

It’s truly a great time to follow our brilliant club.

Here’s hoping Helston win the next five or six games and we might just meet them ...

I'm gutted that West Allotment Celtic went out 0-7 to Workington Town. I was hoping for a Derby with East Allotment Rangers in the next round. Would have paid good money to watch that one !

Yes, a very organic rivalry that has grown over the years.

Lots of energy and some very decent players (and I’m not being patronising) I was impressed ... Falmouth looked superb in the first half, but the Helston manager changed shape and made a brilliant sub at HT... the replacement ran the midfield and the game turned... brilliant last five mins.

Some youth got arrested for squirting water at the away bench after the winner was scored and both sets of players had a bit of handbags after the final whistle, which was (in all seriousness) pretty funny really.

Loved it.

Well the Albion have a surprising amount of support in that part of the world, maybe some of the fans you came across at Helston also go to watch Plymouth when they are at home.

Our two clubs had something of a love in during our war years back in the late 1990's, Fans United and all that. Their then chairman also supported us and spoke on our behalf when the Football League held a vote to kick us out of the league.

Is Liam Eddy still banging the goals in. Was a fantastic youth striker. I played for a few games for helston second team. Him and Stewart Yetton had a crazy goal scoring record in the leagues that way.
