Gulval have their first pre season friendly against Hayle on Thursday 29th July.  The game kicks off at 6:30 at Hayle's pitch.

 

Other friendlies confirmed so far are:

St Buryan Res on Monday August 2nd

Mousehole 2nd's on Wednesday August 11th

 

All friendlies are away due to our pitch being used for cricket.

The club house at the cricket club is being redeveloped over the winter to add a first floor and improve all the facilities.  Due to this the football club wont have access to the building for the season but we will continue to use the pitch and the changing facilities at the college. 

For anyone interested in seeing the proposals for the redevelopment there is an open evening on Wednesday 28th July, 7:30 at the club.

When any more information is available I will post it on the site.

Congratualtions to Phil and Jodie on the safe arrival of their baby boy born 4:50am on Saturday and weighing in at 7ib 5oz.

Congratulations to OTB who were the winners of Gulval AFC's first pre-season tournament.  They beat Mikes Knackers in a thrilling final 3-2.  Thank you to all the teams for making it a good day and to everyone who helped out.

The first pre-season training session was highly successful with over 20 players turning out.  In a tough first session Dave Jewell put the players to task with a vigorous fitness regime which tested even the fittest players.  This was followed by ball skills and a couple of small sided games which were enjoyed by all.  Hopefully all the hard work will pay off when the season starts!

Training is every Wednesday 6pm at Penzance Cricket Club, all players are welcome so come along for a hard workout and a good laugh.

Promotions and Relegations

Holmans withdrew and Crown Inn Glory were relegated from division 2 leaving four spaces to fill which were taken by West Cornwall, Ludgvan, Storm Res and Cornish New Boys.

Finally in division 3 Pendeen withdrew and five new teams were added, these were Carbis Bay, Goonhavern Res, Perrenporth, Praze and Rosudgeon.
