DisAbility On Tour
10th December 2017
Following an invitation to play football in Tavistock by the Tavispecials and the promise of sausage and chips afterwards players, supporters and coaches from this season's new St Agnes AFC Dis-ability Squad boarded a bus on tour to Devon. On arrival in Tavistock the shout on the bus was heard "Where are the sausage and chips?" The two St Agnes teams played in a mixed abilities round-robin friendly event with Tavispecials and Special Olympics enjoying some excellent football and scoring great goals. A Christmas Sausage and Chips Social followed at Tavistock FC before they boarded the bus back to Cornwall.
A wonderful enriching opportunity for the players with great hospitality in Tavistock. St Agnes AFC Dis-ability have extended an invitation to the Tavispecials to visit them in 2018. They would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has sponsored and supported them so far as trips like this would not otherwise be possible.

Vets' Goal Bonanza
10th December 2017
Once again last weekend’s programme of fixtures in the Q Cornwall Leisure Veterans League was decimated by the inclement weather. The only match to survive was at Par Running Track where Royal Par entertained St Agnes Bolsters in Division 2. On a very heavy pitch the home side went ahead after 13 minutes, but two minutes later Colin Kettle brought the visitors level. On the half hour Mark Wade headed home to put Bolsters 2-1 ahead. The rest of the first half became the Trevor Wisker show as he hit a five-minute hat trick, his second coming from the penalty spot, to stretch the half time lead to 5-1.
The second period saw Royal pushing for a way back into the game and were given a glimmer of hope on the hour when they were awarded a penalty of their own. Unfortunately though for the home side the spot kick was missed, but soon after they did get a goal back from open play. However, Wisker and Kettle added to their personal tallies and late goals from Dan O’Toole and Steve Bayley completed a 9-2 rout. On target for Royal were Kevin Allen and Dave Holley.

Durning Lawrence Cup
4th November 2017
CCFA Charity Cup St Agnes (Combo League) v Wendron SWPL. Facing opposition from a team in a higher league and after the way St Agnes 1st team's season had been going manager, Martyn Kimmins, decided to use the match to change things around a bit. Notably moving Terry Luke Campbell up front having his best game of the season and Mark Bell excellent in mid-field with an encouraging debut from Matt Probin as left back. With no keeper available the ever young Stephen Kemp (Bolster Veterans team aged 45!) donned the gloves and pulled off an admirable performance between the sticks! In what Martyn called the teams' best performance of the season St Agnes took the lead through Terry and everyone in the squad gave a good performance and played excellently during the first half with St Agnes leading to the halftime break. Wendron came back out fighting after the interval and hit the post twice, but St Agnes defended resolutely. A lapse of concentration in injury time saw Wendron score the equaliser from a cross taking the game to extra time. The Wendron fitness levels took over and a number of St Agnes injuries became apparent. With all permitted substitutes used Wendron took the lead and won 1-3. FRUSTRATING! Proceeds from the fixture as part of the CCFA Charity Cup Competition will be donated to the Invictus Trust supporting teenagers with mental health needs and associated issues (who were represented at the match). We will be donating £175 from gate, raffle, sweepstake and tea & cake sales. Thank you everyone who supported!

Bolster Vets 3-1 Saltash Vets
17th September 2017
Fancied Veterans League newcomers Saltash United traveled to Enys Park to face St Agnes Bolsters. The visitors dominated the first 20 minutes with home keeper Mark Norgate pulling off two great saves and Paul Sidey striking a great shot against the inside of the post. Aggie started to come more into the game and had a couple of half chances with Danny O'Hagan crashing a header off the crossbar. The opening goal came from the hosts ten minutes before the break after a foul in the area gave O'Hagan the chance to smash home the penalty low to the keepers right. The lead only lasted 3 minutes when the Ashes were awarded a penalty of their own and Chris Truscott made no mistake from the spot. The second half was end to end with both sides going for the win. The hosts went back in front with about 15 to go when Dave Turner whipped In a corner kick and the visiting keeper could only palm the ball into his own net. With four minutes remaining substitute Mark Rapsey made the game safe for the hosts when he curled a free kick over the wall and in off the underside of the bar.

Bristol Ladies Inspire Dynamos
More than 50 members of St Agnes AFC Dynamos Girls travelled to Bristol City Ladies on Saturday to watch them play Liverpool Ladies at the Stoke Gifford Stadium in Division1 of the FA's Women's Super League. Before the fixture they played in a Sister Clubs Tournament against teams from that area at Under 10's, 12's and 14's giving a tremendous account of themselves. They were treated to a tour of the ground and changing rooms before being mascots and flag bearers for the fixture. The match finished 1-1 and featured Cornish girl Jasmine Matthews playing for Bristol City Ladies who had visited the Dynamos at a training session earlier in the season. Returning from a back injury there was the loudest Cornish cheer when Jasmine came on from the bench. At the end of the match players from both Bristol City and Liverpool spent time signing autographs and posing for selfies and other photographs with the girls. Idols were met, photographs taken and dreams realised.
Jasmine Matthews said "Massive thanks to the St Agnes Girls for their support today, they certainly picked a good game to watch and brought us good luck". Mandy Kimmins from St Agnes AFC said "What a truly inspiring day! The Dynamos Girls had a wonderful trip meeting players from both teams who are real role models for them who have worked hard to follow and achieve their dreams. Thank you to Jasmine for visiting us at training and for making the day even more special". Jasmine posed for one photo with St Agnes Dynamos Girls players who are present and future pupils at her old school at Redruth.

Grow The Game 2014-15
As the 2016/17 Season draws towards its conclusion St Agnes AFC Under 18's team are still in training and playing fixtures within their league. Two seasons ago St Agnes AFC were successful in an application to the FA Football Foundation Grow the Game Scheme receiving £1500 over the two seasons. Initially the grant had been intended to start a 4th men's team, but with support and agreement from the FA the project morphed into an Under 18's 11 aside squad to fit the group of players better.
Over the two seasons in excess of twenty Under 18's players have participated, who may not have been involved in football without the project and its funding. The funding allowed for kit purchase, coaching qualifications, equipment and other team running expenses. Team coach Rhydian Purnell said "It has been a fantastic couple of years working with this team. They have trained consistently, worked hard and stuck together as a squad well. A great group of players. The funding from the Grow the Game Scheme has enabled our club to sustain this team and I have been able to undertake my FA Level 2 Coaching course”.
Club Chair Mandy Kimmins said "The funding St Agnes AFC received from Grow the Game has been crucial in setting up our under 18's 11 aside team. The FA Football Foundation were really helpful in helping us sort it out in the first place and the outcome in keeping this group playing football has been well the effort”.

Richard Pallot from Cornwall FA supporting the project said “We are delighted that the application from St Agnes to host a Charity football match has been chosen by The FA as 1 of only 7 events nationally to act as a pilot for adult mixed gender football. The opportunity for the male and female sections of the club to join forces on the pitch whilst also raising money for charity is a great idea and the club should be proud to have been chosen to pioneer this new FA initiative”. St Agnes AFC Chair, Mandy Kimmins said "As a club we are always looking for new challenges, to support initiatives and hold different events . This is our next project and will be a fantastic opening for us to be part of this exciting pilot. We are really pleased to be able to plan and host this charity fixture whilst supporting two important Cornish Charities”.
