The Under-11 Pumas kicked off another busy weekend for Penzance's youth sides playing Goonhavern at Reen Manor on Saturday morning, Flynnre being named Man of the Match. Five teams were in action the following day, all away from home. Flo was Man of the Match as the Under-8 Lions played Holmans, whilst Luca picked up the award for the Under-9 Lynxes at Redruth United. Luke was unlucky enough to score a hat-trick on a losing side as the Under-12 Cosmos were edged out 3-4 by Tr

Six of Penzance Youth’s ten teams were in action on Sunday – four of them at Newlyn Coombe. The Under-10 Lynxes played Holmans with Sonny nominated as Player of the Match. The Under-10 Jaguars hosted Falmouth United, and their star player was Henry T. The Under-12 Cosmos were edged out 3-4 in a thriller against Newquay with Luke scoring all the goals and, understandably, being selected as Player of the Match. Caleb picked up the award for the Under-14s who were 9-0 winners at

Penzance brushed off a number of notable absences to record a sixth straight victory. Welcoming back captain Tyler Tonkin for a first appearance since his injury in pre-season also helped the Magpies chalk up a fourth consecutive clean sheet as they moved into the top three. The Clarets threatened first, captain Dylan Rangecroft stretching Harry Salmon to smart save low to his right in just the third minute. Thereafter, the Penzance gloveman was barely troubled as his side bo

Penzance’s Disability sides enjoyed a very successful first tournament of the new season at Camborne College on Sunday September 13th. Due to a rule change voted in by the clubs, teams with players participating in main stream football can no longer play in the Championship, only the Premiership. Penzance players elected to stick together, and move up to the top division. Despite playing at the higher level, they still won two of their three games, defeating Trelawny 3-1 and

Penzance Youth returned to action at the weekend with the eight of the clubs ten teams contesting their opening matches of the new campaign on Sunday. The newest and youngest side - the Under-8 Lions - travelled to Wendron United, whilst the Under-9 Tigers were at Culdrose. The Under-10 Jaguars, for whom Harvey was Man of the Match, had a local derby away to Ludgvan Lions. The Under-10 Lynxes were at Perranporth with Charlie collecting the Man of the Match award. The Under-11

Returnees Liam Andrew and Kai Baxter both made first appearances since rejoining the Magpies as their new team gleaned a hard-earned point from a tight tussle at Enys Park. Baxter, who has had spells with Holsworthy, Mousehole and Helston since leaving Penlee Park in 2023, played in a wide left attacking role, whilst the experienced Andrew, who started last season with Wendron before taking a break from the game, partnered captain Ryan Wilkinson in central defence. And their

Penzance scored right at the start of the match, and right at the death. In the intervening exchanges they were largely frustrated, and occasionally threatened, by a solid St Mawgan team paying its first visit to Penlee Park since promotion from the St Piran League. With injuries sustained at Wendron in midweek appending Silas Sullivan-Bailey and Josh Otto to a lengthening sick list, Mark Vercesi was again forced to tweak his team. Charlie Willis and Lewis Caspall were back h

Penzance recorded a fourth straight victory and moved up to third place in the Premier Division West table, but were pushed right to the final whistle by an extremely well-organised, youthful Wendron United side. The Magpies - already deprived of the unavailable Charlie Willis and Lewis Caspall - suffered a further blow before kick-off when Josh Otto pulled up, the injury handing a first start of the season to Archie Reynolds. “Josh had a little niggle in the warm-up and, to

Just 48 hours after a memorable victory over Porthleven, Penzance Reserves were involved in another high-scoring match at Penlee Park. On this occasion though, they were edged out by Redruth United in a Friday thriller in the rain. Just one change was made to the starting eleven, Hayden Waters replacing Jahmali Prowse. Nonetheless, the Magpies side looked unrecognisable to that which had excelled against the Fisherman, and were dominated from the first minute when Harvey Pars

Penzance Reserves garnered up their first points of the season with an exhilarating come-back victory in front of a large, vocal crowd at Penlee Park. The tone was set right from kick-off with both teams having clear chances in the first sixty seconds. Luke Carroll for the Magpies and Mark Goldsworthy of Port both put their efforts over the bar, but the latter made no mistake when he was handed another opening in just the second minute, firing the visitors ahead. The ex-Helst
