There was very little choice for me today, as far as doing a game at a previously unvisited ground went. It was this game or nothing, so it was an easy choice to head down to Cornwall. Staying overnight on Thursday meant the change of kick off at a few days notice, bringing the game forward to 11am from the previously advertised 2.30pm made little difference to me. Trevarrion Park, named after the caravan park that you have to enter through to reach the ground, is progressing into a venue that would see them able to make the step up to Step 6, with floodlights now being the major requirement to tick all the boxes. There’s plenty of parking and you enter in the corner. The clubhouse/changing rooms are behind the near goal, from where the tea bar was in operation throughout the game. The pitch is fully railed and has hard standing behind the near goal and along the left hand touchline, where there’s an 80 odd seated stand, flanked by a pair of wooden dugouts.

The match was 3rd versus 7th in the league table and wasn’t a game that will live long in the memory. A strong wind didn’t help, with both teams struggling to master it, but at least it didn’t rain, as the ground is pretty exposed and it would have made it quite an unpleasant experience. In the end, I suppose we were lucky that we actually saw a goal, which went the way of the visitors, when with twelve minutes left, they sent a free kick left footed around the outside of the defensive wall, but inside the far post to nick all three points. Both teams remain where they started the day in the table.
