RAPPO & DEACS EASTER CUP SPECIAL 18 April 2019

RAPPO & DEACS EASTER CUP SPECIAL  18th April 2019 Thank you for listening to another episode of the podcast. This is the 20th episode to become available to download and enjoy. Of course, we’re out a day early this week because of the busy Easter local football programme. It’s always a special time in the football calendar with not only an all but full programme of SWPL matches on the Good Friday, but then cup football takes over with the Cornwall Combination League Cup Final on the Sunday and of course the Cornwall Senior Cup final on the Easter Monday. Our version of the FA Cup as described by three of our guests this week St Austell’s Caretaker Manager Neil Slateford, who is also no stranger to appearing in the final, and we also talk to the two managers involved on the day – Saltash’s Matt Cusack and Falmouth’s Andy Westgarth. Before that however, we also hear from two key people in the build-up to the Combo final on the Sunday – Illogan’s skipper Steve Abbott-Smith and St Day’s assistant manager Rob Hosking.  It’s a special cup episode and no apologies for it being just over two hours. You’ve got the whole weekend to listen to it! It’s great that we can get to hear from people who will be involved in the big games coming up and that we can share them with you, our listeners. There’s also the usual features such as Rappo’s “Bet of the Week” and our Predictions on a handful of games throughout the Saturday football programme, from SWPL through to Duchy and Trelawny. We keep in touch with our resident Truro City supporters, Cam and Josh, as well as with the SWPL secretary Phil Hiscox. While Rappo takes his regular look at the Cornwall Combination League scene, we also touch on the MAB ECPL Premier Division title run-in, and more from this league next week with their league cup final taking place.  Once again, thanks for listening and please feel free to contact me – [email protected] with feedback, comments and suggestions for future episodes. It’s a bit of fun talking about Cornish football with some of the people who are making sure local football stays on the map! Don’t forget, you can always leave a voice message for inclusion by going onto the Anchor app and following CORNISH SOCCER talking football. Go on, give it a go and let us know what you reckon. “OUR FA CUP” Timings (TOTAL : 2:17:31m) 01:00 Recapping on some of the week’s events! 08:07 Neil Slateford 18:20    TCFC_Updates co-hosts Josh & Cam 31:31    “The Bet of the Week” 37:00  Rappo’s Combo review 48:28 Phil Hiscox’s SWPL catch-up 1:04:00  ECPL mention 1:06:19  Steve Abbott-Smith (Illogan RBL’s skipper) 1:19:06  Rob Hosking (Assistant Manager at St Day) 1:35:18   Predictions – after 19 podcasts, Rappo is leading 6-3! 1:46:00   Matt Cusack (Saltash United manager) 2:01:52 Andy Westgarth (Falmouth Town’s manager) 2:13:00   Wrap up with Rappo!
