Defeat In Opening Regional 2 Fixture

First Team

13 Sept

Newquay Storm began life in South West Regional League 2 with a defeat at home to Somerset side Galmington in their opening game.

The Cornish side, playing only their second season at Regional level after getting promoted from Regional 3 last season, were in contention all the way through the game. But narrow defeats in each quarter meant an eleven goal deficit at full time.

‘i think we can be pleased with aspects of our performance,” said Head Coach David White. “Obviously we’re disappointed we couldn’t seal the win, but Galmington are an experienced side at this level and we’ve still got a lot to learn.

“There were some really bright points in our play but we weren’t able to hold on to the ball as well as we have done recently and ultimately got punished.”

Storm gave debuts to five new players including one who’s just come out of the club’s Under 14 section!

“We’re effectively a new squad this season and we’re still trying to gell as a team,” said White. “We’ve got good strength in depth in our squad this season and we’ve still got Aimee and Beth, who were both unavailable, to come back in too.”

Newquay Storm also welcomed Luke from the club’s kit supplier, VX-3, who was taking photos for their social media so keep an eye out on their channels for that.
