Just a note to say thank you for such a well run tournament. We had a good day, didn't make it past the first round but still played our part in a good competition. Glad you ignored the weather forecast, the rain certainly could have been alot worse. It was our first time there, but the lads are already asking about next year.
Thanks again,
Nigel Cloutman Illogan U10s

Just wanted to say a big thank you and an even bigger well done to you and all of your team at Wendron FC for all the hard work in staging an excellent tournament. It was very obvious that a lot of dedicated people worked very hard to get everything ready for Sundays football festival.
It was also great to see your very smart new changing rooms.
Well done Wendron FC

I just want to say thank you for a fantastic day out. Helston U7 and their parents had a totally enjoyable day. The boys showed some good football and progressed to the semi final where we were beaten by the eventuall winners. It was well organised from start to finish and could you also pass on my thanks to the referees. Many thanks

Just dropping you an e mail to say how much my team and I enjoyed the tournament on Sunday. The organization was outstanding as was the playing surface. A great day was had by all topped off by the weather. Hope the final amount raised is again higher than pervious years.
Many Thanks

Your tournament was our first competative outing as a team and I am very proud to say the boys won their finals, a big acheivement I think you will agree.
I have to say that there wasn't one thing to critisize about the day, the organisation that went on behind the scenes must have caused a few headaches for all. and the whole day appeared to go without a hitch.
Your Ref's all played an outstanding part and they all deserve to be congratulated on their part.
Again Many Thanks from all at Tregorrick Celts and congratulations on a brilliant day and we look forward to next years tournament.
Kind Regards

Have been checking out the guest book or was it the Nick Scoley Chat Room? Anyway it was nice of him to reminisce a bygone age of football in 1976. The strange hair styles shorts down to the ankles and the hobnail boots. The rest of the team looked fashionable that was just Nick but I suppose
thing haven't changed that much except he can't perm his hair anymore.

Enough banter just wanted to say if you get a chance to see the U16s this season its worth taking some time out to watch a great bunch of lads playing some smashing footy and who have so far this season played 7 and won 7 Games and are thru to the quarter finals of the Luke cup and will play Newquay at a date to be arranged.

Last of all well done to the majority of these lads who have also helped strengthen the Wendron 4th team who are in a respectable position in mining league 3 which has been a fantastic introduction into men's football for them.

PS: Jer, you're supposed to be doing your homework and not posting messages on here (Dad has spoken)

Cheers Gary

It sure is nice to see another fan on the site. I was feeling lonely but after another weekend of breath taking gut bustin action I'm sure everyone will have an opinion on how our boys did.

Wow did you see Craigs hat trick? Pretty good but you should have seen mine back in 1976. Mount Wellington Mine V South Crofty. I'd learnt a lot from Mark Hughes and some guy called Souness or something, I took a pass on my right instep, crossed it to my left, looked through my right eye, winked at the goalie and bingo unstoppable shot into the left corner. The next two where childs play.
Enough of my goals, what about the veterans?

Thrashed Hayle 1:0 a guts and all display, Jim Collins will never walk again, Jake can't light his own fag anymore Mr Hodson has to play for the 1st. Team next week but can't even button his shirt. Colin Tressider still has'nt stopped cussin at Andy Trathen. Mr.Wara is still wondering how he missed out
on so many personal injury claims. Wow! what a game, Roysten discovered a fitness regime that could corner the market in ball recovery.

I could go on about big James helpful? Comments, or about Robert Bassetts subtle challenges or the veteran Tony Harris and his awesome attempt at proving that Wendron Goalposts were breakable.All in vain. We won ---thrashed them 1:0 that¹s all that matters!!

Or is it ????

just thought I would say well done to the U16 boys who played at Porthleven today who battled a hard fought victory against our rivals! it was a great game that ended 2-0 to Wendron and left us still in 1st place after playing 7 and winning all 7 games. Well done boys and more of the same performance next Monday when we have Newquay in the cup!

Cheers Jer

Am I the only person who looks at our guest book?

Let's have some comment and support for our teams this season. We have four more or less ably bodied sides all trying not to make fools of themselves and to produce scinti(can't spell that ) good football.

Remember Peter Thorne (who?) when you wake up at 11:30 on a Saturday morning the rapidly ageing P.T will have cut the grass marked the lines and otherwise made a complete nuisance of himself, all so that you can show your scars on Saturday night. Give him a hand if you can, if you can't, don’t buy him a drink because I need it more than him.

Good luck lards (lards?) I think I mean lads.

Posted by: Nick Scoley Date: 17th June 2005 Subject: Simons Comments Below

Simon your grammar is appalling youre speelling is wourse and as for haircuts well! When I was your age and hair became a problem I found that a simple short back and sides was the answer, that, together with early nights and a glass of milk with my bed time story turned me into the man I am today. So watch it.

As for football, I think if you spent less time farting about with text messages and more time listening to your elders and learnt more about how hard it was in their day, helped at home with the washing up and at Wendron with the cricket teas, had a good sound thrashing from your Dad every evening then I am sure you would end up on a trophy winning side.

Regards to your mum & dad.

hi. its simon here aka blazin squad! Just wanted 2 say that i thought the dinner and dance was wicked. I had a gud night and i think every1 else did 2, especially craig martin who was surrounded by ladies all night! Just where he likes 2 b!

Congratulations 2 all the lads and ladies who won awards. I'm a little disappointed i didnt win most 'hansome clubman' but apparently there is no such award! Steve Webber assured me that i wud win it if it existed though! Thanks gaffa!

I also wanted to say well done to every1 invovled with the club, i think we have something that alot of clubs dont and that is that we are all one club and every team intergrates.I know the first team havent had the most successful season but i think if every player stays we could win things next season. And beat the scum!

Neway have a gud summer and c u up the dron next season!

Posted by: Gary Brown Date: 16th May 2005 Subject: Dinner & Dance

A big well done to Peter Thorne and all involved in making the Annual dinner and dance such a success It was a great evening. I would also like to thank the staff at the Membley Hall for looking after us, you All did a fantastic job, and the food was absolutely delicious.

It is so nice to be involved in what is not just a club but also a large family of friends with real team spirit and commitment, and not forgetting Craig's favourite word LOYALTY of which I counted him saying about twelve times during the evening. I would also like to congratulate our clubman of the year Ray Kearney, It was such a deserved award for a manager who has worked hard for his club and team. He always has a smile and words of encouragement for his team, this has helped a lot of the youngsters progress into 4th team football this season which has included my son Jeremy who has really enjoyed his first Season with Ray and was so proud to pick up players player which at 15 has really boosted his confidence and is already talking about next season with much anticipation.

Anyway enough of my babbling I would just like to finish with a massive well done to all teams and all the winners This season, but remember at the end of the day you are all winners and the biggest winner of all is the club, Your wins are Wendrons wins.

Go and have a well-deserved break you have earned it.
See you all soon
Gary

Hi all at Wendron!
Really cool site you've got here. Hope you are all doing fine at the club. It has been several years since both me and Kjetil "Bob" Raaen left Wendron (1999), but we both tend to keep an close eye on results and tables...
Wish you all the best! However, I can't help it but I have to mention that the statistics over appearances for 2nds and 3rds must be wrong. I remember having a season where I, as a right back, scored ten goals out of 19
games...

Wish you all the best

Posted by: Gary Brown Date: 15th March 2005 Subject: Loyalty

Could you ask any better from the 1st team manager? Not only does he allow his son to play for the 4th team but also on Saturday the 12th Steve Webber and Craig Martin donned their shorts and turned out against Madron helping us to our first away win.

It was heartening to see the Silver Fox and his side kick Bushy roaming the pitch, dispensing their wisdom and experience and generally digging in for a team who had recently lost 5 players to the 3rds from what was essentially a settled side, without them we wouldn't have had a team that day never mind a winning one.

I would like to say a big thank you to Ray Kearney for his patience and good humour throughout this unsettling period and a huge thank you to Steve WeBber and Craig for Saturday. I think it just goes to prove that whether you are connected to the 1sts, 2nds, 3rds or 4th team we all play for Wendron and the club.
The final score was Madron 1 Wendron 5

Good luck to you all for the rest of the season

Posted by: Nick Scoley Date: 12th December 2004 Subject: Wendron v Falmouth Town

Well done Wendron,this was without doubt the finest and most deserved result since Forest thrashed Luton Town 2 : 1 in the 1959 Cup
Final. From Scoffys wonderful kicks to touch to Chris James up and unders.
Yes, Rugbys a wonderful game. Every last one of you played a blinder today you can be proud of yourselves. Here are just a few of the comments I heard after the game:

"It was 'ard out there but we groun out a result, thats what it's all about init!"
"We got what we deserved, 3 points in the bag and we had to put up with dodgy showers."
"I thought the supporters where great, without them we would certainly have lost."
"I thought our kit was a lot cleaner than theirs and that gave us a boost at kick off, after that it was all about showing a clean pair of heels."
"I'm 92 years old and I've watched Falmouth Town since I was a boy and this was easily the best performance I've ever seen from a visiting team at Bickland Park"
"Its Underlane for me after this display."

Posted by: Nick Scoley Date: 26th November 2004 Subject: Guestbook Comments

I regularly clock on to the web site, and it does my old heart good to see such a burst of activity in the last few days. Nice to hear positive comments about bonfire night and of course to hear words of wisdom from Mr.Martin. Craig is quite right of course, loyalty must play a big part in trying maintain a rural club like Wendron, without our young veterans the club would disappear. It's great to see the 1st.team doing so well, not only that, but doing it with so many Wendron youngsters playing for the team.

You are all a real credit to the club.Hi, just like to touch on what Craig martin said below.
This club has got the best youth set up by a mile and it is sad to see so many good young players leaving 2 play in men’s football.

Posted by: Gary Brown Date: 16th November 2004 Subject: Wendron Youth

I would just like to say that it was so refreshing to read the comments of Craig and Mikey and I'm sure that all of us who commit our time to help support the club at all levels are proud of the fact that we have produced players that have such loyalty as both these lads and many others who put on a Wendron shirt at the weekend.

Several weeks ago my son Jeremy who plays in the under fifteens was asked if he would like to take up the position as goalkeeper for the men's fourths by Ray Kearney the manager. Anyway needless to say he snapped up the opportunity and is really enjoying himself. This is what he has been working hard to achieve since he started at the age of seven years old and he hopes to eventually run out onto the main pitch in a Wendron shirt. You only have to take one look at the first team to see what homegrown talent that this club has produced.

To all the youth team players your opportunity will come and all it takes is commitment and the magic word - LOYALTY.
Good luck to you all.
Ps Craig Martin is supplying the ladies for the photo shoot.

Hi, just like to touch on what Craig martin said below.
This club has got the best youth set up by a mile and it is sad to see so many good young players leaving 2 play in men’s football.

I only started playing men’s football last year and started off in the third team but soon found myself in the combo team with Craig. I’m only 16 and this message is to the under 16 squad who are thinking of men’s footy next year. Don’t go of to rival clubs like Porthleven, Mullion, Falmouth, Penryn and Helston but stay at the ‘dron. I no because its helped me become a better player. And I also know the under 16’s have a strong squad as I have watched them in recent games. Just think of the 7-letter word -

LOYALTY

Thanks and good luck to every Wendron team 4 da rest of the season

Bonfire night was a real treat last night. It was my first time at a Wendron bonfire and I must say the evening was fantastic. The weather made all the difference being very dry, windless and warm. The bonfire set the scene with lots of people being able to stand around it and eat, drink and chat. Once the fireworks started they seemed to go on for ages and ala the boys really enjoyed them, not to mention someof the parents who seemed to get just as much pleasure from them. Hope to see you next year.

Posted by: Craig Martin Date: 23rd October 2004 Subject: Wendron Youth

First of all I would like to say that the web site is looking pretty good. Could spruce it up with a few naked ladies but there you go.
I would just like to say a few things about loyalty. The youth at wendron football club has got to be the best in the area and this message
is mainly directed at the youth players of the club.The main aim of the youth section is to progress and improve players for the future of the club. However I could name a lot of players that have come up through the youth section and have left the club to move to other teams such as Pporthleven, Helston or Mullion. This upsets me a great deal and I would like to state to the players of the youth teams to have a bit of loyalty and stay at the club so we can produce great sides for years to come. Its about time we saw Wendrons name on the Combonation league trophy.

I have been playing at Wendron for 12 years now and have played in every youth and every mens team and have now played 3 seasons in the combination side. Lets see how many other players from the youth section can do this.
Good luck for the rest of the season

Well done.

Posted by: Joss Bray Date: 16th December 2003 Subject:Combination League Result
Dear Stuart & Nick,
Saturday 13th December, 2003 will go down as a great day in Wendron history and I was delighted to be able to witness your tremendous 2-0 win at Helston. When I joined the Wendron Club 12 years ago it was my number one ambition to see a Wendron team, at first team level beat the Helston team. Our 4th team game at Truro was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch and I was obviously mean't to be there for your excellent result. I said I would retire when it happened but you have generated an excellent spirit and the products of the youth system are now integrating well with the more experienced players.
Winning the Combination League is not beyond your team, perhaps not in the current year, but with the players we are now producing it is possible in the future.
Keep up the good work and congratulations to you and your players for making my day. (I am celebrating with a meal out).

Kind regards
Joss Bray
Posted by: Kjetil Raaen Date: 4th August 2003 : Wendron Website

Hello!
Woow cool!!! a Wendron site on the web, well done! It's packed with info which is very impressive. I guess this means a Norwegian ex-Wendron player can keep updated on what's going on in the club.

Well done.

Posted by: Nick Scoley Date: 1st May 2003 Subject: The Curtain Comes Down

The end of another season, who will be player of the year? Will Peter Thorne buy a drink at the presentation evening? Is Stuart Wilkes really only 27? These are only some of the unanswered questions remaining at the end of a long hard seewason, I mean season not seewason, I never could spell.

From my point of view its been an average sort of season with only one high spot, the weekend I spent away in the Cotswalds and even then I lost £10 on the Grand National and had to take my wife with me as well. I,ve had to hire out Will to Penryn to try to balance the books. On the plus side Craig Martin has a new car and has said that he will ferry all first team players to all next seasons away games totally free of charge provided he he is guaranteed an appearance ( he did,nt say as what ). Craigs dad, you know who I mean, that miserable old sod that makes me buy a drink for him at Wetherspoons every couple of weeks has promised to sponsor the first team next year, yes ! you will all get a free pack of blu tack and a drawing pin.

On a happier note Forest have made the play offs and will almost certainly give Wolves a severe tonking and shame Steve Gilbert into buying your esteemed steward a well earned snifta1.
I suppose end of seeason thanks are now due, although I can,t think what I have to thank any of you bunch of scallywags and ne,er do wells for. Firstly of course a Mr.P.Thorne for being a pain in the a**e every day of
every week but at least he is consistent. Secondly the first team management for allowing me to display all my changing room and kit washing skills without interuption. Thirdly Steve Gilbert for denying me all the above privileges. Frankly FRANKY thank you on behalf of the whole club. All youth team managers thank you for allowing me to be infested with ankle biters and rug rats for another season. Its been a privilege to pick up your used sauce sachets and squashed chips. I,ll get my own back next Season.

Posted by: Steve Varker Date: 3rd February 2003 Subject: Youth to Mens Football
I don't agree with the message saying that most u/16 players are better than most of the 2nd/3rd teams, the majority of the current
u/16 players have been given a chance in mens football at Wendron this year, and those who were good enough are now playing for one of the three teams. However on a positive note, all three teams have improved this year, and good luck for rest of the season.
Posted by: Stuart Keenan Date: 2nd February 2003 Subject: Youth to Mens Football
I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to Alan Watson for producing an excellent site for Wendron.

On the subject of younger footballers breaking into the men's teams - although I don't agree with Sean's observation that they have to leave Wendron to play adult football, I do think there isn't enough interaction between the men's/youth sides. As manager of the Under 15's United squad, I have yet to meet the 2nd or 3rd team managers at any of our matches let alone training sessions. It is no secret that we train on a Monday night, our list of home fixtures is also in the clubhouse, but I have yet to see a representative of these teams look at
our players, potential 1st/2nd/3rd team players of the future, the future of football at Wendron. Half of our lads have been with us since they were 7 and now they are reaching the pinnacle of youth football they need guidance towards men's football here, not at Penryn or Helston. I appreciate the time and effort the manager's put in, but if we are to be sucessful in the future I believe that the lad's being able to recognise and relate to the men's teams managers would go a long way to bridge the gap we currently have.

This observation is my personal opinion, is certainly not meant to be derogatory towards any fellow manager, but something I hope will provoke a reaction or two.

On a final note, can I just give a special mention to Joss Bray and Peter Thorne - their dedication and efforts are invaluable and without them Wendron would not be the sucess it is today.
Posted by: Sean Johnston Date: 24th January 2003 Subject: Youth Footballers
Just like to say the website is looking great but I would also like to say after being loyal to Wendron for so long its very disappointing for myself to have to move clubs just to get men's football as myself and the other lads in the under 16 side are better than most of the mens second and third team. Good luck to everyone this season, especially Wendron under 16's who if I may say so are brilliant and they have a superb manager. We are going to win the league, You have my word.
Posted by: Nick Seviour Date: 15th January 2003 Subject: Website & Supporters
Just a quick note to say the Website is looking really good ! well done !
Just wanted to mention a quick note of " Thanks " to the supporters who have followed us so far through the season.
We visited St Just last Saturday ( not the most attractive place to be on a cold wintery Saturday in January ) there was once more quite a few Wendron supporters in the ground. Hopefully the supporters will be looking at the website and will receive this message of thanks as it difficult to get the opportunity to speak to most of them on match days.

Many thanks from myself, Stuart and of course the players. Hopefully we can keep entertaining you with the right results and have a very successful season.

I would like to wish all managers, players and members at Wendron a happy new year. A big thanks must go to Reg James for preparing and producing soccer pitches of a high standard for our players to play on. I would also like to pass on my thanks to another group of people, the committee members who progress all the background work in keeping the club so successful on & off the pitch.

Thank you very much and I look forward to working with you in 2003
Posted by: Stuart Wilkes Date: 29th December 2002 Subject: Youth set-up
Firstly, I hope all players and coaches had a safe and happy Christmas? Congratulations and thankyou for all the hard work that you've all put into making Wendron a.f.c the most successfull youth set up in Cornish football. I know myself how much time and effort families sacrifice to try and keep Wendron going from strength to strength.
This is myself and Nick's first season in management and have found we are spoilt for choice of young players who have come through the Wendron youth policy set up.
At the present moment in time we are currently lying third in the combination league and in the quarter finals of the Combination league cup with a home tie against Truro City at the end of January. Although this year we have brought to the club some more experienced players to ensure stability, we can still boast four fifteen year olds and four eightenn year olds, all of which came through the youth set up at Wendron. I'm sure all of these players are capable of going on to greater things.
I've probably babbled on enough now so I'll sign off and hopefully watch some youth team football in the New Year.
Finally can I just say "Have a fantastic new year and please pass on my regards to all the Wendron youth team footballers, coaches and families."

Regards
