Season wrap-up: a year of grit, growth and goals

As we close the chapter on what has undoubtedly been one of our most challenging seasons to date, we just want to take a moment to reflect – and to say a massive well done to every single player, coach, carer, and supporter in the Cornwall PFC family.

This season brought with it some fierce competition and a few tough lessons, but what stood out most wasn’t just the skill on the pitch – it was the resilience. The determination. The way every player kept showing up, kept giving it their all, and kept improving, week after week.

We’ve made progress – real progress – and although it can take time for ideas and tactics to take root, we’re proud of how far we’ve come. As Amy put it, the way we’ve held our own in difficult situations speaks volumes. We’ve battled on, adapted, and kept going. That grit is going to serve us well next season.

And speaking of next season – we’ve got our sights set. We’ll be focusing on:

  • Getting to the ball first (show them who’s boss!)
  • Sharpening our pick offs
  • Marking the line like pros
  • Building confidence with block offs

Annette and Amy will be running summer training sessions, so if you’re around and ready to keep that momentum going, you’re more than welcome – just let Annette know your holiday dates so we can plan around them.

A special shout-out to Wayne, who was nominated as our Most Improved Player of the Season! The referees, Megan and Ian, said it was a really tight call between Wayne and a Frome player – a testament to how hard Wayne’s worked and how much progress he’s made. We’re incredibly proud. 🎉⚽️

And honestly? We’re proud of everyone. Every pass, every tackle, every bit of teamwork on and off the court – it’s all part of what makes this club so special. Amy and Annette are, in their own words, very proud of you all. (And let’s be honest, we’re not crying – you are.)

Watch this space for updates about our end-of-year presentations and more training fun. Until then – keep your chairs charged and your spirits high.

2019/2020 Season Update

We’d like to update you on the results of our recent South West Powerchair Football League committee meeting to decide the outcome of the 2019/20 season.

The committee voted to null and void this season.  So, unfortunately, we haven’t won the league this year (officially).

We’d like to thank all of our fantastic players for what proved to be a great start to the season – putting us at the top of the league table before lockdown.

Thank you also to our volunteers and supporters and to our sponsors, Millbrook Healthcare, for providing a van and transporting our powerchairs to the Regionals and to AJM Healthcare for their continued support.

We’ll take the positives from this season and look forward to returning to our training sessions when it’s safe to do so and competing, potentially, in 2021.

Great start to the season

We are so thrilled to have done so well in our first matches in the Goals Beyond Grass South West Powerchair Football League.

After beating fellow new team, Frome Falcons 7-0 – with five goals, yes FIVE from Amy, and Lauren and Liam scoring one each, we then went on to beat Swindon Rockets 3-1, with Lauren scoring two goals and Liam scoring one.

We’re so proud of all the team for playing really well and kicking off the season in such style!

We’re super excited for the next matches on Saturday, 26 October 2019.
