Hello to everyone from Bodmin Town and to our local supporters and friends. At the time of writing, there’s a threat of even more rain, probably calling for a Treat yourself or your nearest and dearest…. pitch inspection – so, if you’re reading this, at the fifth attempt to play the tie, and help the club at the same time! either the rain didn’t happen, or it did but made no difference! Bodmin Town come with a superb pedigree and an awesome reputation - top New-style club scarf, green/white, with club name & badge: of the League, scoring goals and taking all the Cup competitions seriously. £5 They are the highest-ranked club we could possibly play in any one season, so today’s the chance to see how we match up. Club scarf, green/white, plain: Who would have thought that this season would bring four games against £3 Premier Division teams? We’ve seen off Newquay and Tavistock in the League Cup, today it’s Bodmin in the Senior Cup, and a fourth game when the draw is Scarf for your dog (as per photos): made for the League Cup Quarter Finals. And if we win today there’ll be a fifth £3 at revenge-seeking Newquay next Tuesday. In the less newsworthy but more important league programme, we beat Club mugs: Porthleven in our last match. It was the only game played in our Division, credit £4 again to groundsman Mike Prisk. We had a large crowd (117), so many thanks also to everyone for a great turn-out. Window stickers with club badge, for your house or car: We now sit deceptively a long way out at the top. I say ‘deceptively’, because £1 several clubs have games in hand. But they’ve got to win those games to start catching up – and some of them are against us and some against each other! Items to order: People have described today’s match as the biggest in the club’s history. Knowing Quinny, he’ll just accept the challenge, tell the players to make the Coats, black, quilt-lined, with club badge & your initials: most of the opportunity, and play the usual way…..and your support will make £65 a lot of difference, whichever way the game goes. Please do have a look at the ‘Fixtures’ page – it shows quite a few changes as a Polo shirts, white, with club badge: result of recent postponements. £16 Also do read the page called ‘Talking Point: Promotion’, which explains the club’s thinking on the pros and cons of applying for promotion.

We couldn’t 5 9 19 23 26 have wished for a better draw in the Senior Cup and fully intend to make the September W W W W W most of the occasion. A A H A A 3 10 17 24 31 Bodmin will be disappointed to have been knocked out of the FA Vase recently October W W W L W on their own ground, but to be fair it was by higher-league opposition, and A A H A H they still have three big prizes to aim for –the Premier Division title, the Senior 7 21 28 Cup and the League Cup. If they manage all three they can consider November W W W themselves as good as the excellent 2012/13 team. But we intend to make A A H them feel disappointed again today! 5 12 26 December W W W Our 7-0 win against Porthleven may seem comfortable enough, but no game A H H is easy and we all have to work really hard to earn the right to play the way we 16 30 want and impose ourselves. The match gave us the opportunity to give four or January W W five players the game time they need to slot into our playing pattern and A H maintain sharpness and readiness. 20 27 February It seems ages since this Bodmin game should first have been played, and even H H more frustrating that we’ve played only two games since Boxing Day. Whenever we had a postponement we went in for a gym session, so we 5 12 15/16 19 25 March haven’t been entirely idle. We’ve now got to make sure we continue the A H Neutral A H momentum we built up before this unintended “winter break”. 2 5 9 16 20 23 27 30 Enjoy today’s ‘big match’!

A warm welcome to all the players, officials, and supporters of Bodmin Town Football Club, and also everybody here supporting The Seagulls. HOW TODAY’S TEAMS GOT TO THIS STAGE I'm especially looking forward to seeing one of the best and loveliest club ladies around in Sheila Chapman. Sheila looked after me when I was a youngster (yes I was First Round: one once!) signing for Bodmin, and helped make my stay there very enjoyable. We St Dennis 1-2 MOUSEHOLE (after extra time) are blessed here at Mousehole too, with what I consider as the best group of behind BODMIN TOWN 4-0 Falmouth Town the scenes guys and girls that I have had the pleasure to be around. Keep up the good Second Round: work, and Tim...keep delegating! Morwenstow 0-6 MOUSEHOLE Sticker 0-2 BODMIN TOWN I'm also looking forward to seeing my old St Blazey assistant manager, Terry Huddy - a Third Round: great servant to the Cornish game, which included being a part of the County Youth MOUSEHOLE v BODMIN TOWN and County Seniors coaching teams that I was privileged enough to play in. All other Third Round matches have been completed This is where more "old" jibes come into play: injuries take longer to clear up the older you are...I'm finding this out the hard way! However, physio and strengthening QUARTER FINALS work has been going well and so I hope to be back playing today, if selected, and looking forward to testing my legs against some of the best midfielders around.
