No1 Goalkeeper Coaching
30 October 2013
Photographed are the first group of budding goalkeepers to have attended the first 5-week session of goalkeeper training by FA qualified coach Martyn Kimmins. Young keepers from St Agnes and other local clubs benefitted from learning specific goalie warm-ups, ball familiarity, shot stopping, positioning, footwork, basic handling skills and principles of goalkeeping.
St Agnes AFC Under 11's team coach Katie Venton enthused, "Both Ethan and Elijah from the Under 11's have shown such improvement in their confidence and understanding. The extra coaching has really shown great results."
Following this weekend’s St Agnes Under 13's fixture manager Mark Norgate commented "I can't tell you how proud of the boys I am today. We only had nine available so they all had to last the full game in a wind you could barely walk in let alone run in! It was a very close game, but we won 3-0 in the end thanks to an outstanding performance from Guy Albury (graduate of the No.1 school of goalkeeping!). Actually, 'outstanding' doesn't do his performance justice. Two of his saves I don't think I will ever understand how he pulled them off!"
Further goalkeeping coaching sessions are now planned at Truro College Astro Pitch starting on Friday 15th November at 6pm for keepers aged 8 years and over at £2.50 each for St Agnes AFC funds. For details please contact Martyn Kimmins on 07974 370666 or email bolsterpaper@gmail.com

Ladies Start With A Win
15 September 2013
Chiverton Park saw St Agnes AFC Ladies host Mullion Ladies in an evenly matched, great spirited fixture played in driving rain and gale force winds with the half time score 0-0. St Agnes took the lead after half time with Helen Dawson on target twice. Mullion pulled one back, but St Agnes confirmed their win when a fine cross in from Claire Baker was headed home by Hannah Gregory to give St Agnes the 3-1 win.
St Agnes Ladies would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in sponsoring this fun group of girls and any lady players aged 16 years and above of any experience or completely new to the game who would like to join them for football, fitness and fun! Training is on Wednesday evenings and all interested parties are welcome to contact Manager Mandy Kimmins on 07974 370666.
The Cornwall Women’s Football league (CWFL) set up for the season with 12 sides entered at the AGM competing in two divisions of 6, divided into East and West to help alleviate travelling issues for member clubs. The pre-season has been a difficult one for ladies football at the grass roots level and 4 teams (Hayle, Kilkhampton, St Dominick and West Cornwall) have all withdrawn prior to the commencement of the playing season all being unable to raise enough players. The CWFL committee has worked hard to try to retain these teams offering them delayed season starts, 9v9 playing format and signposting players to struggling teams as the teams each withdrew, but to no avail. With numbers low at the grassroots level the CWFL would be delighted to hear from any ladies who would like to return to the game or be introduced to it as a beginner please get in touch with the Registrations Secretary Denzil Lobb on 01872 552091 who will signpost interested ladies aged 16 and above to the best geographically located team.
Seven of the remaining sides Mullion, Penzance, Illogan Reserves, St Agnes, Newquay Celtic, St Teath and St Breward have so far registered full squads of players and are looking positive for the forthcoming season. Liskeard Ladies, a brand new squad to the CWFL this Season having come up from youth football, have lost 5 players to a higher level side and are struggling for numbers with 8 at present. The CWFL is hoping to hold on to Liskeard and they have taken advantage of delaying their season start until 29th September with some other member clubs prepared to play them at 9v9 format to keep them going in the League. On the positive side 3 fixtures were played at the weekend with Illogan Reserves beating Penzance 5-1 at Penlee Park, Katie Ashworth scoring the first game of the fixture for Penzance with Illogan's goals 3 from Amber Barnicoat, 1 from Amy Howell and an own goal. St Teath took the win against St Breward playing in heavy rain and high winds with the half time score 0-0. Chantelle Binney took the lead for St Teath from a penalty with Zoe Ansell scoring a second slipping the ball past the keeper. St Breward pulled one back but the final score was 2-1 to St Teath.

Sports Club Project
6 September 2013
Members of St Agnes Sports Club are delighted to announce the commencement of their project to build new changing facilities at Enys Parc St Agnes. Over the past 2 years a small working party from St Agnes Sports Club has busily pulled together to consult with member clubs and players at the Sports Club (St Agnes AFC, St Agnes RFC, St Agnes Netball Club, St Agnes Gig Club and St Agnes Boxing Club). A need was identified to replace the existing changing facilities. The old changing rooms were dated and included a communal shower room, shared toilet facilities and only one official’s changing room and no longer provided a facility that could cater for the growth in sport at the club including the increasing participation of male and female players, as well as boys and girls.
With the volunteer help of George Kimmins initial plans were drawn up, submitted and approved to replace the existing block with a new building, which met with the requirements of the governing bodies of St Agnes AFC (The FA) and St Agnes RFC (The RFU). The building project went out to tender as part of a major grant application process to fund it with the cost in excess of £250,000 to complete it.
St Agnes Sports Club are thrilled and grateful to have been awarded the following grants towards their project so far: Football Foundation £100,000, RFU £30,000, Inspired Facilities £50,000 and Cory £10,000. The rest of the project will be funded from the within the member clubs and via an interest free loan obtained from the RFF and the Sports Club is also very grateful to St Agnes Parish Council and the Pennon Group for their support.
As soon as the Sports Club received the green light to commence the project volunteers from within stepped up to dismantle the existing wooden building. It was taken apart section by labelled section as it is hoped the main part of it can be reassembled elsewhere at Enys Parc as a storage facility. The diggers arrived on site and all was going well until the final part of the footings were being prepared when a potential mining issue was discovered at the very far end of the site. With the supervision of a mining engineer and a bigger digger being brought in extensive digging to a depth of 6 meters revealed the existence of not just one but two unmapped mine shafts within the site. The shafts have now been plugged and a plan to raise the end of the building from the mine workings has been made including the positioning of piled concrete rings to bring the footings to the same level as the rest of building. Members of the Sports Club are frustrated, but not disheartened by this expensive unexpected turn of events and hope to still complete the new building by the end of November as intended. Further fundraising is now required and planned.
When completed the new facilities will provide four new changing rooms, each with their own showers and toilets and two new official’s changing rooms also with their own toilet and shower. The new build will also provide an ambient disabled toilet/shower room with baby changing facilities accessible from outside. There will be a further disabled toilet with two new toilets accessible from inside the club house, which will enable the removal of the existing ladies toilets to create a bigger area in the club house. The plans also provided a greatly improved and enlarged kitchen, which will now also be accessible from outside as well as within.
St Agnes Sports Club members are very grateful to all the volunteers and contributors who have supported so far in every way. Neil Cotton on behalf of St Agnes Sports Club commented "We are so pleased to finally be commencing our building work and look forward to our member clubs and the wider community benefitting from our fantastic new facilities once finished". Mandy Kimmins also from the Sports Club commented "I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far as funders and volunteers. The project, once finished, will be amazing! A personal thank you to Neil Cotton and Ian Doble for their belief, support and hard work in bringing the project to fruition!"

Shanklin Ladies
30 June 2013
St Agnes AFC Ladies hosted Shanklin Ladies from the Isle of White in a small sided fixture played at the club's Chiverton Park Pitch. St Agnes looked lively in the first half going a goal up through a fine strike from Hannah Gregory.
Despite the effects of being 'on tour' Shanklin looked threatening and it took some great saves from St Agnes keeper Julie Windram to keep the St Agnes score 1-0 up until half time.
The second half was a different story as Shanklin recovered from their excesses and quickly equalised, then dominated the second half to leave the final score 1-5 to them. The game was played in great spirit and fun with the Chiverton Arms providing fine hosting and hospitality at the end. A 'match fee' collection raised over £40 for the Breast Cancer Campaign.
St Agnes Ladies were formed 10 years ago as a friendly side before entering the Cornwall Women's Football League and this year will compete for their 10th competitive season. Manager Mandy Kimmins commented "We originally formed our ladies team for a bit of fun and generally over the last 10 years that's exactly what its been! This season sees both St Agnes Ladies and me as a manager compete in our 10th consecutive Season as members of the Cornwall Women's Football League. As well as playing football over the years we have supported many local events and organizations and raised thousands of pounds for charities and causes both local and national. I am very proud of our ladies team - we may not have been the best footballing side so far, but our general all around contribution has been significant!"
St Agnes ladies would be delighted to hear from female players (16 years and above) new and old of any level of experience please contact Mandy Kimmins on 07974 370666 or check out the St Agnes AFC Website www.stagnes-saints.co. for details of all other club teams and contacts.

Cheque For Costa Rica
18 June 2013
Members of St Agnes AFC youth teams presented Kate Messenger from St Agnes with a cheque for £250 towards the Lady Gladys Education Centre in Costa Rica. Kate's dad John Hawker who now lives in Costa Rica set up the school in memory of his mother Gladys, formerly of St Agnes, to provide an education for children from the slum areas. Kate commented "This fantastic money, which was raised by children within St Agnes AFC will be used to provide sports equipment for the poor children in Costa Rica who attend the Lady Gladys School. Thank you so much it will really make a difference."

Thank you so much it will really make a difference."

Supplementary Cup Final
26 May 2013
St Agnes AFC 1st team are photographed before their Combination League Supplementary Cup Final held at Wendron Football Club on Sunday 26th May.
A well supported event which saw St Agnes reaching their 8th Supplementary Cup Final, having won 4 and lost 4.
Having faced each other in the league twice this season with Penryn winning 2-1 on both occasions St Agnes faced the fixture as the underdogs.
Penryn were the stronger side in the first half going 2-0 up early on, but in the second half (after a rousing team talk from their manager) St Agnes came back into the fixture scoring through Matt Eddy and were unlucky not to equalizes in the final minutes as shots were thwarted by the cross bar. The final score St Agnes 1-2 Penryn.
Man of the match, as chosen by members of the Combination League Committee, was Tom Bartlett from St Agnes photographed with his trophy. St Agnes manager Martyn Kimmins consoled his team saying "Many players
go through their playing without ever reaching a final and our Supplementary Cup medals and Cup are something to be proud of and a consolation for an indifferent season."
Anyone interested in joining St Agnes AFC as a player, sponsor, coach or in any other capacity is welcome to get in touch via the website www.stagnes-saints.co.uk or contact Martyn Kimmins on 07974 370666.

Inspired Facilities Grant
24 January 2013
St Agnes Sports Club has secured Olympic legacy funding from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities fund.
Sport England today revealed that more than 1,000 local sports projects across the country have now received National Lottery funding through Inspired Facilities, which is part of the £150 million Places People Play legacy programme. Every sports facility that receives funding will carry the London 2012 Inspire mark – celebrating the link to the Games.
St Agnes Sports Club will receive £50,000 of National Lottery funding to upgrade the Changing Room Block, which has helped thousands of local men, women, young people and children get into sport over the years. The improvements include new changing rooms, official’s rooms, showers, kitchen, disabled facilities and toilets.
Sport England’s Chair, Richard Lewis, said: “This National Lottery investment is helping us deliver a lasting sporting legacy in Cornwall from last year’s successful Olympic and Paralympic Games. With so many clubs in the South West having benefitted from this fund already and building on the success of last summer, this is the legacy people want for their local community.”
Club Chairman, Mandy Kimmins, said: “We are delighted to have secured this investment, which means we can progress with our plans and other grant applications to upgrade the quality of our changing room block to meet the growth and demand of all our member clubs. St Agnes Sports Club now embraces St Agnes AFC, RFC, Netball, Gig and Boxing Club and our present changing facilities no longer meets the growth and needs of our overall membership which includes males and females aged from 5 – 65 years! I am also thrilled to hear that St Agnes and Perranporth Tennis Clubs have both received funding during this Inspired Facilities ‘funding window’ which, with £50,000 also received by St Agnes Surf Club in the last round, puts an amazing £200,000 of Olympic Legacy Funding into such a small area of Cornwall! How inspirational that there are so many sporting facilities not only available in our community but all actively looking to progress, grow and improve by applying for grant funding – well done and congratulations to them all and thank you to Sport England!”.
St Agnes Sports Club is one of 310 projects across England to receiving lottery investment from the third round of the Inspired Facilities fund and one of over 1,000 to benefit overall, with the milestone being achieved one year ahead of schedule.
Many more communities can still benefit from the fund, with a further two rounds remaining. Bids will be accepted for the fourth round of Inspired Facilities Funding from the 4 March 2013. You can find out more at www.sportengland.org/inspiredfacilities.
