n the words of Chairman Steve Kimberley:
‘At a Falmouth Town AFC Executive Committee meeting just before Christmas, a vote was taken on whether we should apply for promotion from the CSWPL under the FA Pyramid system. The result was a very positive, yes! I can confirm that Falmouth Town A.F.C. have now submitted an application for acceptance and promotion to the Toolstation Western League Premier Division, for the next season, 2012-13.’

It was always going to be a tricky tie and it needed a great performance from stopper Jason Chapman and to ensure goals from James Miller and Shane White saw Town through to the last eight of the Cornwall Senior Cup.
Miller, in only his second appearance of the season, looked lively early on and claimed a poachers goal after 28 minutes as he followed up Dan Green’s parried shot. Sadly he fell victim of an agricultural tackle soon after and Shane White became a makeshift striker as Alan Carey struggled to juggle a threadbare squad.
Godolphin eventually beat the brilliant Chapman with an excellent free-kick after 84 mins to take the tie to extra time but Shane White saved Town’s blushes when he headed home Joe Lugg’s cross to finally see off the Division One West side.

Falmouth Town v Stoke Gabriel or Penzance
Buckland Athletic v Crediton or Launceston

Ties to be played on Wednesday the 29th of February. ( Edit: If Stoke Gabriel progress then our tie will be played on Saturday the 25th).
Update:
Penzance won at Stoke Gabriel, 2-0.
Town boss Alan Carey said he expected a ‘positive reaction’ following the Saltash no-show and he can’t have been disappointed as Town notched up their first ever home SWPL victory against Torpoint. The match was all but won by half-time as goals by Jamie Devine, Mark Vercesi and Matt Drummond gave Falmouth a 3-0 lead at the break. Some great second half goalkeeping kept the score down as Town cruised to the three points.
Town have signed former Exeter City youth player Aiden Way from Willand Rovers. He is a full back/utility player. One player who has left the club is Darren Hicks. He is said to be returning to Saltash Utd.
Town’s league ambitions suffered a huge set back with this defeat to close challengers Saltash Utd. Town never really got going and the visitors deservedly took the three points with goals from Danny Zalick (33) and Carl Powel-Thomas (90).
