Tregorrick Titans, Shoe Boy Trophy

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Tregorrick Titans (U9s) travelled to St Tudy to play in the The Shoe Boy Trophy, comprising of 6 teams, one of them being the old enemy the Tregorrick Celts. It was inevitable that the Celts would be our first fixture, this was talked about like a Man Utd - Liverpool or a Spurs - Arsenal game. Anyway the teams kicked off and there was little to choose from in the first half, which finished 0-0, As time went on and the game stayed level Celts manager Graham Frise looked a tad worried but much to his relief Cally Rundle popped up with two goals to give the Celts a 2-0 win (which means extra laps for Cally at training on Thursday). The game was played in great spirit and both teams thoroughly enjoyed it.

Next up for the Titans was a much fancied Wadebridge team, shots were a premium with Jordan Cooper coming close on one occasion but the defence of Jacob Summerwill and Matt Retallick and Goalkeeper Ollie Burt stood strong and the game finished 0 - 0.

The next game against Probus, who, eventually won the Trophy was another tight affair with the scores tied at half time 0 - 0, it was an unfortunate own goal which sealed a 1- 0 victory for Probus.

Charlestown HIQ was the next fixture and the team had to dig deep in the first half with Katie Glendenen and Jack Williams going close but again the half ended 0 - 0, the second half was a different story with the Titans dominating the half with Joe Rabjohns going close for the Titans, but it was Jack Williams who collected the ball on the wing and ran towards the goal taking on 2 players before slotting his shot under the keeper to mark a wonderful individual goal (If he had missed he also would have had to run extra laps at training)!!!! This was enough for the Titans to win 1 - 0 which they thoroughly deserved.

Our final game was against Camelford which again finished 0 - 0 at half time, but with both teams not really bothering each others goalkeepers the second half was over with no score.

Unfortunately we did not make it to the final but the team played exceptionally well considering that three of the teams play in a higher league and we did not look out of place, I would like to thank Ollie Burt, Matt Retallick, Brandon Pomeroy, Jacob Summerwill, Jacob Westaway, Joe Rabjohns, Katie Glendenen, Jordan Cooper and Jack Williams for taking part and making it an enjoyable morning.

Many Thanks
Lea Cooper (Titans Manager)

Tregorrick Celts, Shoe Boy Trophy

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Congratulations to Tregorrick Celts for finishing Runners up in the Shoe Boy Trophy at St Tudy on Saturday 6th October.

It was a hard fought day with the Celts first match against our dear friends Tregorrick Titans, and as soon as the whistle blew both teams were hard at it, playing excellent team football, (even if there was a little barracking from the Titans Manager Lea Cooper), half time and the score was 0 / 0, and I was starting to think that we would never hear the end of it if we drew or worst lost this monumental match, Thankfully the game turned in the Celts favour and Cally Rundle was able to put the ball in the back of the Titans net twice, (sorry Ollie) finishing the game 2 / 0 to the Celts. Our next match was against Charlestown HiQ. With The Celts on a high from winning the previous match, Nathan Retallick scored the only and winning goal of the match, ending 1 / 0 to the Celts. Wadebridge was the Celts third team to face, and based on past history this was sure to be a hard game, Both teams played excellent football, with George Truscott and Dillon Frise trying to make plays to feed in James Venning and Cally Rundle, But Wadebridge proved just as strong with the defensive skills of Jamie Gough and Jamie Franks being tried but not beaten the Celts kept another clean sheet, ending the game with a 0 / 0 draw. Next up we had the pleasure of playing Camelford, The Celts hadn’t let in a goal so far and were more than ready to get this game started, with good passing play, it didn’t take long for the goals to start coming, with Jamie Franks and James Venning (Capt) both scoring 1 each and Cally Rundle planting another 2 goals, finishing off 4 / 0 to the Celts. Having already made it to the finals our last League game was against Probus, and by having a good relationship with this club, the Celts knew this would not be a walk in the park. The game started and the Celts went 1 / 0 up with a cracking goal from Cally. Unfortunately Probus were just as determined and playing for a place in the finals, managed to sneak 2 goals past our Goal keepers, Jack Curley and Tom Rowe, finishing the game 2 / 1 to Probus. Well the Final was here and we were up against Probus again, As in the previous match, both teams played excellent football, with end to end play, at half time it was 1 / 0 to Probus, the Celts turned up the pressure but just couldnt change the score line, finishing the Final 1 / 0 to Probus. The Celts played like a winning team and I am very proud of them especially as they displayed Good sportsman ship by applauding Probus whilst they collected their trophy, I would like to congratulate James Venning (Capt), Jack Curley, Tom Rowe, Jamie Gough, Jamie Franks, Nathan Retallick, George Truscott, Dillon Frise and Cally Rundle on great days football and an excellent result.

Well done you Celts

Many Thanks

CCFA & Devon FA - Super Festival 07

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Tregorrick TitansCongratulations to the Tregorrick Titans U8’s, who had a fab day participating in their first tournament at Newquay.
They kicked off the tournament against Ludgvan Panthers and battled it out to a 0-0 draw.
Next up was Titans v’s Falmouth United, this was a close game but the Titans came out 2-0 winners with both goals from Jack Williams!!
With their confidence high next up was Bodmin Mount, after being on the end of a hammering in a previous friendly coach Lea Cooper was a bit on edge, but the Titans came out all guns blazing and were unlucky to lose 1-0.
The much anticipated match against Charlestown Utd was upon us and the Titans were raring to go, the Titans totally dominated the game and came out 2-0 winners with goals from Jack Williams and Nathan Retallick.
The final game was against Tavistock Town. Tavi looked to be a great side in the previous matches during the day and so the Titans were very cautious in the early exchanges, a great run from Nathan Retallick ended in him being up ended in the penalty box but no penalty was given and Tavi went up the other end and scored the only goal of the game.
Tregorrick Titans finished 3rd in their league which was a great outcome for their first tournament !!!
Coach Lea Cooper would like to thank Oliver Burt, Jack Williams, Jordan Cooper, Katie Glendenen, Nathan Retallick, Matt Retallick, Joseph Rabjohns and Ross Osbourne for taking part as they made him proud to be their coach.

Tregorrick Celts
I would like to congratulate Tregorrick Celts on their stupendous display of youth football at the CCFA & Devon FA Super Festival on Sunday 6th May at Tretherras School, Newquay.


After the whistle to start their first game against Culdrose Hurricans, it didn’t take long for the goals to start flying in from Keiron Bishop (4) and Dillon Frise (1) with assists by Dillon Frise, Keiron Bishop, and George Truscott, ending the game 5-0.


Then came our second match against Padstow MFC and the Celts looked unstoppable, this time with goals from Keiron Bishop (2), Cally Rundle (Capt.)(1) and Dillon Frise (1), with james Venning assisting, ending the game 4-0.

We then had the pleasure of facing Tavistock Town A, who we just had to beat (my childhood home town) and they sure did again with goals from Keiron Bishop (3) and Cally Rundle (1) with an accurately placed near side corner shot following a deflected corner (played by Cally), James Venning not only assisted in 2 of these goals but had more shots deflected from the cross bar than you would believe possible in 5 mins.


After a long Lunch the Celts faced Falmouth UTD A, and this proved to be a good hard battle, with end to end play, and thanks to the safe hands of Jack Curley (GK) and our outstanding defensive line, Jamie Fanks and Jamie Gough, we held them to a 0-0 draw, (much to the relief of my blood pressure).


Final match, and after a long hot day of quality football the Celts were to face the so far unbeaten Trevenson Youth, this game had the makings of a cup tie, and with both teams ready to go, the match was on. Cally Rundle scored in the first half with excellent supportive play from the rest of the team. Defence again stood their ground and stopped any attacks that Trevenson could deliver, and yet another clean sheet for Jack Curley. Finishing the 1-0.

The Celts deservedly won their league with 4 wins and 1 draw, in their first tournament of 2007, and it really was a pleasure to see them play.

Well-done “You Celts”!!!

Well Done You “Celts”

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Tregorrick Celts (U8’s) have now completed their first season of league football in the East Cornwall League, finishing in 5th position in the league and what a season it was.

By entering the league a year early it would be an understatement to say that we had a huge learning curve ahead of us, both myself and the boys but they were really up to the challenge.

I think the best way to illustrate just how much the Celts learnt and improved as a team during the season is with results we had against Roche U9’s.

Roche U9’s was our first ever league game and we were truly beaten 11 - 0. (really close game) but in just 11 matches later we had the pleasure of playing Roche again, this time Roche had to fight hard to beat us 2 - 1, after the Celts held them 1 - 1 for 90% of the game with only the bare 7 players.

During the season we totalled 41 goals, Names and Goals scored are as follows;

Cally Rundle 14
James Venning 7
George Truscott         6
 
Jamie Franks 5
Dillon Frise 4

Of course none of these goals would have happened if it wasn’t for the remaining team members;

Jack Curley,
Jamie Gough,
Nathan Retallick,
Will James,
Ross Osbourne,
Mat Retallick.

I am very proud of all the boys and hope they are equally proud of their selves and their team mates, because they should be.

This season has proved to be very beneficial, with all the squad improving at a steady rate and growing as a team and next season should be just as good, especially as we will be playing boys of our own age group.

Also lets not forget that none of this would have been achievable if it wasn’t for the dedicated training from our U8’s coaches Lea Cooper and Nigel Thomas, and parent helpers Anthony Gough and Mike Chapman and the support of the parents.

Again Well Done you “Celts” and bring on the Tournaments

Grae Frise (Manager Tregorrick U8’s)
