"There's something special about the FA Vase!"
THE VASE NEVER DISAPPOINTS!
Picture the scene if you can, Falmouth Town two goals down with barely seconds remaining when they get a lifeline for what surely was only going to be a consolation goal at best!
Luke Brabyn made no mistake from the penalty spot and into added on time.
Time for everything, including the kitchen sink, to be thrown at the Longlevens goal. A cross comes in from the right and while flooring one of his team-mates, the visitors goalkeeper on the edge of his penalty area punches the ball away with the ball bouncing towards Jack Webber.
On the half-volley Jack hits the ball back towards goal with the F-Troop doing what they can behind that goal to suck the ball into the back of the net!
Everyone in the ground are on their feet applauding an absolute amazing equaliser and thinking 'could the comeback be completed with a winner?'
Falmouth's James Miller sums it up "there's something special about the FA Vase!"
(Apologies about the quality of the sound on this clip, but I think you get the message!)

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 12 Friday, October 18 2019
It’s a slightly different Friday Fix podcast this week as Rappo is away on holiday at the moment! Yes, in the football season!!
There’s still plenty to talk about of course, even without the “Bet of the Week” and the Predictions.
The St Piran League is still discussed with St Austell’s manager Mark Smith, while its congratulations to Helston Athletic’s U-18s who have reached the First Round Proper of the FA Youth Cup after beating Brockenhurst on Monday and so we hear from co-manager Stu Giles.
Dave Bartlam, a player, Trelawny League officer and referee, talks about the last of those three roles and the fact that there is a serious shortage at the moment.
What a result Falmouth Town picked-up at Helston last Saturday in the FA Vase and James Ward was there to witness it. The current Truro City defender is of course a former Falmouth Town player.
A striker is great form at the moment is Ryan Richards who has scored seven in his last two games – which makes the player more than worthy of a catch-up of course with the Friday Fix!
Our resident guests Cam Weldon and Phil Hiscox keep us up to date with Truro City and the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League respectively and Phil goes over what is happening at the end of the season with regards to promotion.
As usual, get in touch by either email davedeacon@cornishsoccer.info or twitter @soccerpodcast if you have any ideas or suggestions as to what you would like to hear on the weekly podcast. CORNISH SOCCER is also on Facebook.
And remember, with a podcast you can stop choose how much to listen to at any one time and return at a convenient time later, so it’s probably helpful to subscribe to us on your favourite podcast platform so that you don’t ever miss a future episode.

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 11 Friday, October 11 2019
The Friday Fix podcast is once again being recorded at the House of Rappo and this time again it’s thanks to mum-in-law Viv for the jacket potato!
This week there’s no excuse if we have a lot of chat on the FA Vase because there are two very tasty all Cornish clashes coming up, plus Camelford have a great chance of progressing as well.
So we hear from all of them – managers of Camelford and Saltash in Reg Hambly and Matt Cusack; while for Torpoint Athletic, it’s a man it would be difficult to beat for being passionate about his football - Ian Stephens.
Steve Massey had a chat for the Friday Fix straight after Helston’s terrific 3-1 midweek win over Mousehole while Toby Clark, back playing for Falmouth after 16 years away, joined the ever increasing group of players to speak to the podcast this season.
As well as the Vase, there’s a big Under-18 game coming up on Monday as Helston host Brockenhurst in the FA Youth Cup and we hear from the team’s two managers Stu Giles and Martin Daughtery, while as always we have our resident guests Cam Weldon and Phil Hiscox keeping us up to date with Truro City and the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League respectively.
Rappo has a detailed look at the St Piran Football League, as well having some good news regarding last week’s “Bet of the Week”!

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 10 Friday, October 4 2019
The Friday Fix podcast is once again being recorded at the House of Rappo with a late surprise – another meal thrown in by mum-in-law Viv – this week its creamy tagliatelle with bacon and mushrooms! Many thanks.
This week we hear from another newby – Launceston’s ‘keeper Josh Colwill who tells us about his disappointing Saturday; meanwhile one of our favourites - Ash Bicknall, player/manager at St Mawgan, is looking forward to the club making more history this coming Saturday; and ahead of the Saturday “Match of the Day” – Mousehole central defender Ben Williams returns to the show.
We aim to include interviews from those at the heart of Cornish football, and coach and ex-pro Jamie Day is one of those. He’s involved in the new Cornwall Under-16s who have their first competitive match on Sunday.
Naturally our resident guests Cam Weldon and Phil Hiscox keep us up to date with Truro City and the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League respectively.
Rappo has a detailed look at the St Piran Football League, as well as attempting to stop the terrible run on our “Bet of the Week”!

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 9 Friday, September 27 2019
For the third week running this recording has been produced in the House of Rappo and this week it’s the turn of mother-in-law Viv’s Roast Chicken, for us to sample, rather than interview on the show!
Instead, having the opportunity to talk football from around the county of Cornwall, we are joined by a supporter, a league secretary, two managers (of which I’m pleased to advise one is a newbie) and two players, although one of those is now resident in Australia rather than Cornwall!
Interviews from those at the heart of Cornish football, with a new manager’s name to add to our growing list of guests and friends to the Friday Fix Podcast.
As always, many thanks to our resident guests Cam Weldon (with two hats on this week) and Phil Hiscox (keeping us up to date with the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League).
Rappo of course runs through his weekly detailed look at the new St Piran Football League, while he is still trying to turn the corner in his form slump for our “Bet of the Week”! Think positive Rappo!

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 8 Friday, September 20 2019
We’re in the House Rappo again for this week’s episode. Lasagne on the go cooking while we have the opportunity to talk football from around the county of Cornwall.
Again it’s interviews from those at the heart of Cornish football and with some new names to the Friday Fix Podcast.
Top managers are on this week as St Austell’s Chris Knight and Camelford’s Reg Hambly join the cast of many to have been featured so far already this season.
Knighter of course is back in the Poltair hot-seat and doing a grand job, while Reg amazingly is in his 29thseason and still enjoying it.
It’s also a warm welcome on the Friday Fix to Martin Daughtery, co-manager of the Helston Athletic U-18s. Along with Stu Giles they start anther FA Youth Cup adventure on Tuesday as they travel to take on Street in the competition.
We also take you to Wendron to join in their celebration as the newly named “Granite Stadium of Light Underlane” gets lit up.
Completing our guest list is of course Phil Rees, who Rappo caught straight after Perranwell had played Penryn in last week’s Senior Cup. Rappo’s challenge was successfully completed as we knew it would be.
Our resident guests Cam Weldon (talking Truro City) and Phil Hiscox (keeping us up to date with the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League), also join us to lake it a cracking two hours of talking football in Cornwall.
Rappo of course runs through his weekly detailed look at the new St Piran Football League, this week with Senior Cup results as well, while he is still trying to turn the corner in his form slump for our “Bet of the Week” slot!
