St Austell V Grampound

A cold afternoon at Poltair Park saw the visit of an inconsistent Grampound side buoyed by a win the previous week. St Austell were also in confident mood after a big derby win at fortress par track in their last encounter with Biscovey, the tea hut crowd were expecting a thriller. Town were in their changed strip of skin tight white.

St Austell were without several regulars : lee Harvey working, Zidane away, Ross Sundercoumbe spear chucking and Richards Osbourne MIA at a stag do slash stock check. Injury also robbed the lillywhites of Phil Hutchins who’s ankle injury is proving to be a real worry to the management and also the rest of the lads as his lineman skills are shocking!!! Luke Buckland once again stepped in between the sticks but was rarely troubled.

The match began in typical fashion for St Austell, very slowly! As once again it took them 30 minutes to warm up, Grampound without ever really threatening caused the Town back four a few problems early on and the game was scrappy to say the least, this was most evident when following the only good passing move of the first half Luke Patton uncharacteristically blazed over from 6 yards, the ball ironically ending up in his old front garden!

The breakthrough came just after, a clumsy foul in the box resulting in a Patton penalty, 1 nil Town. The game was still all over the place, and with little good passing going on frustration began to creep in, this was eased slightly after Nick Bennetts clever lob put St Austell 2 nil up on the stroke of half time, a poor first 45 then and little sign of the carnage to follow.

After an unusually calm half time team talk from the gaffer the lads were determined to improve after the break and so it proved with can only be described as a demolition. Goals came at regular intervals, Bennett , showing glimpses of his ability notched 5, Patton despite earning the Donkey of the week for his performance notched 4 and Dan “goal a game” Tree once again showed his worth to the team with a goal, in truth it could have been 20.

A big victory then, but surely there are more difficult tests to come in the next few weeks and St Austell will need to play a lot better to get anything from the season.

The team enjoyed their standard sausage and chips at the Cookworthy looking forward to the big Halloween party at Pentewan, there was some brilliant fancy dress on show, with Steve Kellow in particular catching the eye, his enormous fake ears were a sight to behold.

A good 3 points , and onto North Hlll in the cup next week where St Austell will be looking to avenge their opening day debacle.

St Austell 4-4-2

Buckland, Edens (Bishop 75) Knight, Allen, Powell (Kirby 65) Pascoe, Kellow (Tree 65) Whittle, Pearce, Bennett, Patton.

Man of the Match: Nick Bennett – 5 goals . some wonderfully taken.

Donkey of the week: Luke Patton – scored 4 should of scored 24.

Club History

nellaeel — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:15:05 CDT

The History Behind St Austell AFC

On Friday September the 12th 1890 the following notice appeared in the St Austell Star newspaper -
" All lovers of football are requested to attend a meeting at the Queens Head Hotel on Wednesday evening next at 8.00pm for the purpose of electing Officers for the rugby club and if possible to form an Association club, it is hoped that a large number will attend "
At that meeting, on the 17th September 1890, St Austell AFC was formed.

It was further announced in the paper on October 3rd, that a field had been obtained for the season at Hillhead opposite Rocky Park. This location was the Club's home for the first few years before moving to the present ground at the turn of the 20th century.

The first trophy to be won by St Austell was the Cornwall Charity cup in 1908. This was followed by successful seasons prior to the First World War with the Club winning the Senior Cup for three consecutive years as well as the Charity Cup, for the second time in 1914.

After the war the Team got into its stride and reached the final of the Senior Cup in 1921 losing to Looe 2-1. The teams from Looe and Torpoint were dominant in the 1920's, with Looe reaching the final five times and Torpoint three.

The eleven seasons between1928/29 and 1938/39 saw the Club achieve great success. The Senior Cup Final was contested by St Austell six times, who won twice. The Cornwall Charity Cup was won in 1932 and in 1939 the Team won the Cornwall Senior Cup.

Following the Second World War the Club's success continued. During these times the crowds flocked to Poltair Park, with 15,000 present to see the team victorious over Penzance in the 1949 Senior Cup final.

The decision to join the newly formed South Western League in the 1951/52 season was perhaps the most important move ever made by the Club. The formation of this new 'professional league' tempted six Cornish clubs away from the amateur county competitions. Unlike the County competitions the new league did not include the radius rule which meant that players living more than 10 miles from Poltair Park could now play for the Lillywhites.

Modest success was achieved during the 1950's, however the eleven seasons between 1962/63 and 72/73 were arguably the best for the Club. One of the best remembered players of this era was Mike Bickle who smashed the South Western League scoring records with 65 goals in one season. He followed this with a total of 89 goals in all competitions the following season, including 9 in one match against Nanpean. Not surprisingly these feats attracted the attention of the bigger clubs and in 1965 Mike signed for Plymouth Argyle.
