The club was established in 1890 as Newquay Football Club, but did not play any competitive games until entering the Cornwall Senior Cup in 1896–97. They were renamed Newquay One and All in 1903 and went on to win the Cornwall Charity Shield in 1906–07. After folding in 1912, the club was re-established as Newquay Rovers in 1920. The new club joined the Plymouth & District League, but left in 1927 due to the cost of travelling. In 1931 they were founder members of the Cornwall Senior League, going on to win the league and the Cornwall Senior Cup in 1934–35. However, the club disbanded in 1937. The current incarnation of the club was formed in 1946, rejoining the Cornwall Senior League. In 1951 they were founder members of the South Western League. They won the Cornwall Senior Cup in 1952– 53, 1954–55 and 1956–57, before finishing as runners-up in the South Western League in 1957–58. They were league champions the following season and retained the title in 1959–60. The club won the league again in 1977–78, 1979–80, 1981–82 and 1983–84, before finishing as runners-up in 1984–85. They were South Western League champions for a seventh time in 1987–88 and finished as runners-up in 1991– 92,as well as winning the Cornwall Senior Cup. They finished second in the league again in 1993–94. In 2007 the South Western League merged with the Devon County League to form the South West Penin- sula League, with Newquay placed in Division One West. They were runners-up in the division in 2008– 09 and then champions in 2011–12, earning promotion to the Premier Division. Following league reorgan- isation at the end of the 2018–19 season, the club were placed in the Premier Division West. The club have played at Mount Wise on Clevedon Road since 1922, when Newquay Urban District Council leased the site to the club. Floodlights were erected in the 1980s and inaugurated with a friendly match against West Bromwich Albion. The club's record attendance of 3,500 was set for a friendly match against Manchester City on 14 July 1998, with the visitors winning 6–0.

Street are currently riding high in the Toolstation Western League and at the time of writing lie sec- ond in the league, unbeaten. Today will be a great test for our lads and will be a good indicator of the lev- els we have to reach if we are to move up in the next few years. Well what a great opening day victory against Penzance where we ran out comfortable 4-1 winners here at Godolphin Way. In truth, we were so dominant on the day, we should have had 6 or 7 come the end. The same could be said about St Blazey, but after going 2-0 up the floodlights failed and the match was abandoned. We can certainly identify with that after the trouble we have had with ours just recently. Speaking of floodlights; ours are booked in to be upgraded on the 28th. Therefore, our game with Saltash United will be at home!!! Our brand new refurbished canteen will be open (we hope) and we will have a clearer indication of when the clubhouse will be back open. As a club we have spent a very large sum of money in the off-season. There was the roof repairs, the floodlight upgrade, the clubhouse refurbishment and the canteen. It will be worth it in the end, but we need you to all back us in the coming weeks so we can start getting some money back. With no income since lockdown began and the money we have laid out, things are tight. So if you can sponsor a game, have a ground hoarding, sponsor the kit, buy a 50/50 or even just buy a drink, It all helps. We really appreciate your support, and that is why we are investing heavily in the club. We belong to our community, we will make you all very proud of Newquay AFC. GROUND REGULATIONS Admission and the right to remain within the ground is on the condition that the spectator shall not com- mit the following: 1. Use obscene or abusive language or persistent swearing. 2. Being drunk or under the influence of drugs. 3. Making vulgar gestures. 4. Using terms of abuse, racial or otherwise. 5.

Welcome back to Godolphin Way, our temporary home, for what is to be the last time before we return to our rightful home at Mount Wise. I would like to thank Tania and all at Godolphin for their help during our lighting up- grade. Well, what a good start to the season, which would have been better if the floodlights at St Blazey didn’t fail. We were 2-0 up and cruising when the lights went out. It’s such a shame, but there is nothing we can do about it and we have to hope on the rearranged fixture, we are on top of our game and don’t let them take any points from us. You can be sure the lads will be fired up for it, as they were last Tuesday which they showed in the perfor- mance. We now have two very tough games coming up against today’s opponents Street, and on Wednesday when we travel to Kellaway Park to take on league favourites, Helston Athletic. We cannot show any fear going into either game, and I don’t think we will. Our young side are united, have a self-belief and want to succeed with Newquay AFC. Today will be difficult, but it will be a great indicator of where we are as a club. Street are one of the top sides in the competition and currently sit second in the Western League behind Devon side, Buckland Athletic. Of course, as you Newquay supporters know, we went to Homers Heath a couple of years back and beat them to advance in the FA Vase. A late, late, Jack Bray-Evans pen- alty won that game for us and set the travelling support wild. Hopefully, we can show Street what we are about today, because the biggest respect we can give to them, is to make them work to try and get a win. We start as underdogs, but in cup football, absolutely anything can happen. Enjoy the game Alex Cole Truro Striker When did you join Newquay? I re-joined the club for the 2017/18 season. Tell us a bit about your Football Career: I started with Newquay after returning from Exeter City Youth in 2011/12. I left and went across town to play for Godolphin Atlantic for a few years before returning to Newquay three seasons ago. I represented Cornwall for four years at youth level and we won the county cup. What are your hopes for Newquay this season? I want to finish in the top 6 and win as many cups as possible. What are your personal goals for the season? To be involved in more goals as well as working hard for the team in the formation/role I have been selected for. What’s the vibe like around the club at the moment? It’s good! We have a great bunch of lads in the squad that I believe can achieve a few things and surprise a lot of people. All we need now is to return to Mount Wise with our supporters. Tell us a bit about yourself (Interests, background, family etc): I work for Start & Co Estate Agents in Newquay, and have done for over a year now. My family has always been based in Newquay and have had local businesses throughout my childhood. I enjoy playing golf. Tell us an interesting fact about yourself: I can wiggle my ears. Club you support: I support Manchester United. “I want to finish in the top 6 and win as many cups as possible” The FA Vase effectively replaced The FA Amateur Cup in 1974. In that year The FA Council had decided to abolish the official distinction between amateur and profes- sional footballers and this meant the end of The Amateur Cup and Amateur Internationals involving Eng- land. In its first season 220 clubs entered, but they did not include those that had dominated in The Amateur Cup.
