Penzance moved up to third place in the table by virtue of an ultimately comfortable derby victory, repeating the scoreline by which they beat the Greens on Hayle’s last Peninsula League visit in 2008-09. But they only pulled clear in the final half hour after being pushed hard by their newly promoted local rivals. Magpies manager Mark Vercesi made two changes to the side that had won at Dobwalls, restoring Steve Burt and James Butler to the starting line-up in place of Jacob

Penzance picked up three points on their first away trip of the season with an efficient, if unspectacular victory at Lantoom Park. Manager Mark Vercesi made just one change to the side that had despatched Helston in its previous match, restoring available-again Josh Otto to the starting line-up at the expense of James Butler who reverted to the bench. And the Magpies utterly dominated the opening stages. Lewis Caspall was doubly unlucky, crashing a powerful drive against the

Penzance Reserves pushed perennial high-flyers Illogan RBL close in an hard-fought, exciting match at Oxland Parc on Wednesday evening, but fell just short of gleaning a first Premier Division point, at the third attempt. Only three top drawer saves by Danny Burrows kept the Magpies out as they impressed during the first twenty minutes. First the keeper blocked a point blank range Archie Reynolds header, from an Elliott Carveth corner, then he denied Wade Brown after the stri

Penzance recorded a first win of the season, a devastating first half performance blowing away a young Helston Athletic side under the newly installed LED floodlights at Penlee Park. The Blues, making a first visit since January 2020, were under the cosh from the third minute when Piran Jones was called on to rush off his line to deny Jacob Trudgeon, played in by a precise Charlie Willis through-ball. The reprieve was temporary, however, Josh Turner running on to a Lewis Casp

Cup specialists Penzance succumbed to a first knock-out defeat in nine ties in their FA Vase First Qualifying Round match on Saturday. Since exiting the competition to Hamworthy Recreation last season, the Magpies had been on an eight match winning streak culminating in two final triumphs back in May. Harry Salmon, Ben Palmer, Charlie Young and James Butler all made their first starts of the season, replacing Will Trenoweth and Lewis Caspall (both unavailable) and injured def

Penzance turned in an impressive performance in their Peninsula League opener. But missed chances meant they ultimately had to settle for a point after an entertaining draw against returnees St Austell in front of a large crowd of 327 at Penlee Park on Tuesday night. The Magpies were first to threaten, Josh Turner outstripping the visiting defence in just the fourth minute, but pulling his shot just beyond Morgan Coxhead’s far post. The Lillywhites hit back, Kieran Bishop see

On Sunday 2nd August, Penzance’s outgoing Under-18s team finally managed to get everyone together for a small presentation to celebrate the successful 2025-26 season. The league championship was secured at the end of May, and it proved difficult to find a date that suited everyone, but ultimately a fantastic afternoon was enjoyed by all. The Magpies went into the final game, away to Culdrose on May 17th, knowing only a win would guarantee them the title. But they made no mist

We are very sad to report that Dave Wadd, one of the most successful managers in Penzance Football Club’s history, passed away on Monday 8th June. A strong "wing half" in his playing days, representing the Magpies as well as the Cornwall County team on a regular basis, he became manager at Penlee Park in the late 1960s. Dave was in charge of the hugely successful Magpies side of the early 1970s, steering the club to Cornwall Senior Cup success in 1973 and the South Western Le

Despite getting off to a flying start, Penzance Reserves were unable to pull off a shock in Wednesday's George Evely Cup final at Wendron United's Underlane ground writes James Wright. Daz Smith's team took the game to the unbeaten St Piran One West champions Dropship from the first whistle. Asa Donaldson skipped clear down the left and won a corner from which Bernado Braga towered to head home. Regrettably though for the Magpies, the match followed exactly the same pattern a

Penzance secured a hat-trick of trophy wins under Mark Vercesi's management, and Andreas Calleja-Stayne a hat-trick of Senior Cups following triumphs with Falmouth in 2024 and 2025, as the Magpies soared to new heights in the St Blazey sun writes James Wright. In fact, Calleja-Stayne has now bagged four in five years, and put Penzance on the way in the second minute, arrowing a low shot just inside Cory Harvey's far post following a Charlie Willis corner. Unsurprisingly, Verc
