    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.

  • Celebrating the Centenary of the Old Patesians RFC 1912/13 – 2012/13 “100 Years of Continuous Rugby” 10 0
    100Celebrating the centenary of the Old Patesians RFC 1912/13 – 2012/13 “100 years of continuous rugby” 10 0 Celebrating the centenary of the Old Patesians RFC 1912/13 – 2012/13 100 Celebrating the centenary of the Old Patesians RFC 1912/13 – 2012/13 “100 years of continuous rugby” FOREWORD It is an honour to introduce this history. It answers the question in our school song: “Where are the men that have gone before us?” The research that has gone into this book tells you a lot about the Old Pats. The accuracy of our history is important to us, because we were taught well at the school that many of us shared and because we cherish the memories of those who are no longer with us. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants. This history is about matches, cups and promotions, and occasionally upsets. Above all, it’s about team-mates and friendships; people from all sorts of backgrounds sharing a love of rugby, to whom being a Pat means more than most things for 80 minutes each week. My playing contribution to the Old Pats was brief: summoned from the school 2nd XV by Ray Kingscott in 1976 to play for the Vipers under the leadership of Phill Bevins; the next season, playing for the 2nd XV under Roger Dagley in a side that got to the Junior Combination Cup Final; the season after that, advancing to the 1st XV under Bob Lees – another lost cup final, but, crucially, qualification for the County Cup and silverware in the Combination sevens.

  • FLEET TOWN V STREET F.C
    FLEET TOWN v STREET F.C. Saturday December 29th 2018 – 3.00 P.M Evo-Stik League South Division 1 South Today’s Fleet Town ‘Man of the Match’ is Sponsored by Easi–Leaflets http://easi-leaflets.com SPONSORED BY WELCOME TO CALTHORPE PARK Good afternoon and welcome to Calthorpe Park the home of Fleet Town F.C. for today’s Evo- Stik League South Division 1 South fixture. In particular the Committee, Players, Management and supporters of our visitors Street who have travelled up from Somerset. Our Boxing Day fixture against Thatcham Town attracted our best home attendance of the season which was really pleasing. However the manner of our second successive 2-1 defeat of The Christmas Holiday was certainly not at all pleasing. Again we played very well and dictated nearly all the match but somehow ended up trying to save the game with only 9 players on the pitch. Unfortunately, at this level young teams like us who try to play football are continually being disadvantaged by naïve officials who are bullied in to handing out Red and Yellow cards for innocuous challenges by experienced ex-pros who do it as part of their game. Very disappointing and not at all in the spirit of Christmas ! Anyway enough said its now on to today’s game against Street. They have just come up to play in the Southern League for the first time in their long history having spent over 50 of their previous years in The Western League. They have made an excellent start as well and currently lie in 7th place with 28 points from the 17 games they have played.
