RAPPO & DEACS FRIDAY FIX - September 13 2019
RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 7 Friday, September 13 2019
This week’s it’s a bit different as the recording was completed at House of Rappo.
Apart from the different surroundings, the format was much the same with interviews from those at the heart of Cornish football. And of course there’s another new name for the list of interviewees we’ve had on the podcast since we started.
Many thanks to Andy Ayre for coming on. Andy is co-manager of Gerrans & St Mawes Utd, but is the heart and soul of the club and its good to hear from clubs around the county at all levels.
Along with 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, we speak to both managers of the amazing 3-3 draw last Saturday between Newquay and Saltash – Tony Mackellar and Mattie Cusack.
One of the other stand-out SWPL results last Saturday was the Torpoint 8-0 victory at Holsworthy and so we welcome back assistant-manager Gary Williams to the Friday Fix.
Also returning to the podcast is one half of the St Blazey’s management team Shaun Vincent who was able to give us a progress report on the Green & Blacks.
Rappo of course runs through his weekly detailed look at the new St Piran Football League as well as his “Bet of the Week”.

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 6 Friday, September 6 2019
We’re sticking to our promise to get some more new interviewees on the podcast with another three this week!
From Dobwalls we have co-manager Ben Washam, while the other two are FA Vase goalscoring heroes. While Olly Brokenshire got the solitary but so important match winning goal for Helston up at Step 5 Keynsham Town, the other really enjoyed himself. Charlie Young scored five! And of course, anyone who is a regular listener of this podcast series will know that Charlie gets a regular mention, so we are so pleased to have at last got him on!
We have our weekly detailed look at the new St Piran Football League from Rappo, who also tells us his “Bet of the Week”.
Our resident guests are Cam Weldon talking Truro City and Phil Hiscox keeps us up to date with the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League.

RAPPO & DEACS, Series 2, Episode 5 Friday, August 30 2019
It’s a bulging with interviews episode this week!
Last week we spoke to Andrew Bragg, the Kernow FA Director of Football with an exclusive, this week he’s back on again as he tells us they are working on a bid to stage the next CONIFA World Cup!
We’ve got loads of interviews with managers from around the county – from Penzance across the Duchy to Callington and including one with Tony Howard of Storm FC. Tony tells us how the club "was an email away from folding" but has worked towards survival and hopefully the interview gives encouragement to those currently struggling.
Rappo gives us his weekly detailed look at the new St Piran League – East and West, that’s after another sob story for his “Bet of the Week”.
As usual Cam Weldon talks Truro City and Phil Hiscox keeps us up to date with the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League, this week it has a FA Vase flavour.
We welcome former Truro City manager Leigh Robinson back into football as he takes on a role at Helston, while the Blues striker Mark Goldsworthy is our main man as he reaches a terrific goalscoring milestone – his 300th SWPL goal.

RAPPO & DEACS, (AUDIO LEVELS TWEAKED) Series 2, Episode 1 Friday, August 2 2019
Hello everyone, this is the first episode of the second series of the RAPPO & DEACS Friday Fix and what a bumper episode it is!
The whole concept of the weekly podcast is to try and make it as entertaining and fun as possible, with friends around the Duchy and sometimes further afield, talking football. That’s the local stuff (well, apart from Rappo’s Bet of the Week)!
With this one, the start of a new season, we’ve made it a bumper edition. Five managers and one player, all from the South West Peninsula League which starts on Tuesday.
We’ve also thrown in a “quick 10 question” section – this week Rappo is answering, or attempting to, but in future we’ll be hoping to get some of you to do so. I really loved some of Rappo’s answers – even if they were way out from being correct!
Remember, the beauty of the podcast is that you can stop listening at any time and then return at a convenient time later.
