Fans turn out in their hundreds for yet another exciting WCP CUP FINAL

 The Walter C Parson Funeral Directors League Cup Final

Carlsberg South West Peninsula League

Falmouth Town 0  Saltash United 1

Blaise Park, St Blazey, Saturday, May 11, 2019

WCP are very proud to hold this  second cup final between these two Carlsberg South West Peninsula League Premier Division sides in a matter of weeks and it ended with a measure of revenge for Saltash United, who had lost 2-1 to Falmouth Town in a controversial RGB Building Supplies Cornwall Senior Cup Final on Easter Monday. That match probably turned on a red card for an Ashes player early in the second half and was settled by a Falmouth headed goal with ten minutes to go. This time, it was Saltash who scored the decisive goal with a header from a set-piece, David Barker proving the hero on the day with his late, late winner.

We also had a crowd of just under 600 people – 585 paying punters to be precise.

which is a pretty good effort for two Step Six sides. As we crowded on to the grass banks around the ground, most in T-shirts, some in shorts, there was a proper cup final buzz, that festival feeling of a big sporting occasion.

To top it all off, we were bathed in the wonderful May sunshine, exactly as we should be on a day like this. Yes, it felt like a proper cup final.

But to be fair to cup final hosts St Blazey, that was about the only thing missing from the day. The groundsman Paul  was rightly proud of how the ground looked, especially the pitch, which glowed an immaculate green.
