Kellaway Park, Clodgey Lane, Helston, Cornwall TR13 8PJ

Welcome to Kellaway Park, the home of ‘The Blues’ of Helston Athletic Football Club.

The 22/23 season was without doubt the club’s most successful of recent times, if not that of any in the clubs one hundred and twenty seven year history.

Whilst progressing further in The FA Cup than ever before in addition to completing a Cornwall Senior Cup and Western League Les Phillips Cup double exceeded expectations, an early FA Vase exit along with finishing sixth in the league has given room for yet further gains to be achieved.

Away from the flagship the wider club triumphed in three additional county cup competitions whilst finishing as runners up in a further two. Several youth teams were also crowned league and / or league cup champions.

Win or lose the club and town remain proud of everyone who represented Helston Athletic Football Club last season.

As a club we continue to strive for continued improvement both on and off the field of play.

Over the forthcoming months we hope the results of the dedication and hard work of those who give up so much of their time will continue to enhance your match day experience whether you are a player, an official or a spectator.

Compliance has become ever more important to help ensure everybody enjoys their football in the safest of environments. Helston Athletic Football Club are therefore pleased to share that it was recently awarded an England Football Accredited Club 3* rating. The award reflects the club’s commitment to the future of football within our local community.

As always, the club remains extremely grateful for the valuable contributions of the numerous organisations, businesses and volunteers who continue to support us. Without your individual support running a successful football club for all ages would be impossible – thank you.

Finally, we hope you enjoy your visit to Kellaway Park today, so much so that you return very soon.

Here’s to another successful year of footballing action and for all things Helston.

Good Afternoon One & All, With this being our first home fixture of 2024 I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Here’s hoping it another successful one for The Blues of Helston Athletic With seven home fixtures remaining, inc today, it’s a pleasure to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Shepton Mallet back to Kellaway Park. The respective fixture over the past two seasons has resulted in a home win and a score draw so hopefully we will again be entertained with some goals this afternoon. Similar to our opponents it's a warm welcome our match officials David Bartlam, Max Davies and David Dodson.

It’s said that 'a week in football can be a long time’ and that has certainly been the case since our smash and grab victory away to league leaders Clevedon Town just seven days ago. With every Blues player committed to the cause and playing some excellent football, a ninety-fourth minute winner from Callum Martindale, assist Kai Cornish, was nothing less than we deserved, Sadly this was not something we could carryover into Wednesday’s Cornwall Senior Cup 1/4 Final verses AFC St Austell where we relinquished our hold on the trophy we so proudly won last season. With end of season promotion very much the clubs objective, Wednesday’s match could have been our final one in the prestigious county competition for the foreseeable future. Only time will tell.

With no midweek action, we hit the road again next Saturday travelling to Newton Abbot to take on Buckland Athletic, a fixture that is reversed the following Tuesday, 30th January, when we host The Bucks in defence of retaining The Les Phillips Cup. KO 7:45pm.

Finally for today, this evening sees the first Chairman’s Bingo of 2024. It’s eyes down at 7:30pm for those tempted to try their luck at pocketing some cash, Wishing all an enjoyable afternoon, and as always, thank you for your support.

Paul Hendy Chairman

Interest in promotion from the Premier Division of the Toolstation Western League will be extended from the top two places to the top five, in the 2023/24 season.

The Football Association have announced that next season, there will be a fourteam Play-Off in each of the sixteen Step 5 divisions, the level of the non-league pyramid occupied by the Western Leagues Premier Division, guaranteeing a second promotion place into the Southern League. Last season, Saltash United were denied promotion by Bristol Manor Farm, who managed to retain their Southern League status, defeating their Western League rivals at the Creek.

The FA’s proposals for promotion and relegation, announced in March 2023, have signalled that the inter-step play off is a thing of the past, with Western League Clubs now competing against each other for a playoff place, subject to their facilities meeting ground grading requirements.

Next season, two sides are set to be relegated from the Southern League Division One South, as the FA seek to increase the divisional size at Step 4 to 22 Clubs per division. The FA’s latest reorganisation is good news for Western League Premier Division Clubs as only one side will be liable for relegation next season. From the 2024/25 season, the FA have announced their intention that four Clubs will be relegated from Southern League Division One South, along with the other seven divisions that cover the country at Step 4.

However, the future of the Western League is uncertain going into the 2024/25 season, with an FA working group currently looking into the future structure of Step 5 and 6 football in the South West, following the collapse of the merger between the South West Peninsula League and the Western League, earlier this year.

Should the FA undertake a reorganisation of football in the South West and create an additional Step 5 Division to address the considerable travel distances Clubs currently face, this may impact both how and how many sides are promoted and relegated across the region.

FOCUS ON SHEPTON MALLET

Shepton Mallet Town FC originated from the amalgamation of three local teams in 1933, and who won the Somerset Senior League Premier Division Title in 1949, 1959, 1974 and 1975, as well as lifting the Somerset Senior Cup in 1950 and 1965.

Under manager Richard Fox the club were elected to the Western League for the first time in 1976, and promoted to the Premier Division as runners up in their first season. After relegation two years later, they again reached the Premier Division, this time under manager Brian Drysdale, after winning the first division title in season 1981-2, only for the original club to fold four years later and drop out of the Western League in 1986.

A new club named Shepton Mallet AFC was formed for season 1987-88 to compete in the Somerset County League, reaching the Premier Division in the early 1990s and winning the County Senior Cup in 1997-98 under manager Alan O'Leary. They finally won the league title in season 2000-2001 under manager Roger Smith to regain Western League status, and achieved a respectable 7th place finish the next season.

Early in season 2002-2003 Smith resigned, and player Gary Banfield took the helm and helped the club finish 9th that season. A dip in fortune then followed , the club invariably finishing in the lower reaches of the table and flirting with relegation more than once as managers Shane Smith, Malcolm Beck and Mark (Dusty) Ford came and went.

Ex Castle Cary manager Kev Davis then gave the club some stability and higher place finishes with four seasons in charge up to 2009, before another spell of management changes followed as Keith Brown, Chris Mountford, Glynn Shaw and Benji Tricker all came and went.

The inspired appointment of ex Paulton Rovers manager Andy Jones and his assistant Ben Cleverly in 2012 saw the club's fortunes improve dramatically with four seasons of relative success. Second spot in the 2013-14 season saw the club promoted back into the Premier Division where they have remained since. Rob Cousins took over very briefly in August 2016, but was soon replaced by Craig Loxton who is now the club's longest serving manager.

Along with joint manager Jon Burr, the club had a particularly successful campaign in season 20178, reaching a highest ever 6th place league finish and just missing out on the Les Phillips Cup trophy after losing the final on penalties to Buckland Athletic

FOCUS ON SHEPTON MALLET

In 2019 Craig was joined as joint manager by former Hengrove Athletic manager John Durbin who remained in the dugout with Craig. After two disrupted seasons due to Covid 19, a semblance of normality was restored last season, when the club again achieved a now joint highest 6th place finish.

They also registered their highest goals total at Premier League level, 77, and conceded their least, 36, as well as registering the most clean sheets in a season in all games (20), and also increased attendances to an all time high in the modern era.

With the vast majority of last season's playing staff staying with the club, we can look forward to another exciting season. The current management team are Aaron Seviour & Matt Morris, backed up by first team coaches Will Hunter, Henry McFerran and Ricky Lebeidz.

Player Profiles...

Kyle MOORE (GK). Kyle joined us part way through the season from Plymouth Parkway and was part of the team that won back to back promotions. An excellent shot stopper and distributor of the ball, he’ll add great value to our new campaign.

Jordan BENTLEY. Jordan enters his 3rd season with the club. He continues to be a dominant CB who can play within different formations. and was part of our cup double success in the previous campaign.

Aaron BENTLEY. Aaron enters his 3rd season with the club. He is a technically efficient defender with attributes to play in other positions. Aaron has an excellent football pedigree and has operated at higher levels.

Harrison JEWELL (Capt) An exceptional season last year, H put in many M.O.M performances and won 2 of our end of season awards. An influential CB who has also been made captain for this campaign.

Callum O’BRIEN. A throwback to how defenders used to be, no nonsense and hard hitting. Lethal at set plays and can play on the deck as well. Deceptively quick over 10-15 metres.

Callum MARTINDALE. Callum is a technically gifted left back who has brought added quality to our left hand side. Callum has enjoyed spells at Taunton Town, Plymouth Parkway and Saltash United where he previously worked with the manager.

Expect to see him impacting games at both ends of the pitch.

Dave BARKER. Has set the standard for right sided full backs/wing backs over the past five years. Barks regularly chips in with double figures each season, a remarkable stat given his position. He actually grabbed a 90th minute winner here for his former club Saltash last season. He will bring value at both ends of the pitch with added leadership qualities.

Tom PAYNE. Payney had an exceptional campaign last season. He chipped in with 15 goals and 15 assists from midfield, and scored in the first of our two cup final triumphs last campaign.

Baga MARIKO. Baga joined part way through this season. A young and very athletic defensive midfielder that gets that awkward toe in to thwart attacks. He was signed as we didn’t have this profile of a player so compliments the midfield well and gives us options.

Player Profiles...

Jacob SMITH. The youngest of our summer signings. Played the most number of games for Torpoint last season as a base midfielder. Has worked with the manager before at Plymouth Parkway. Has put in some impressive performances in preseason and continues to adopt and excellent approach on the training ground.

Stevie COLWELL. Stevie has operated at higher levels having previously played with Weymouth, Tiverton and more recently, Plymouth Parkway. A ball playing midfielder with exceptional technical and tactical quality.

Tyler ELLIOTT. Ty is a versatile player that can operate in many positions within the team. Last season he was regularly impacting games from wider positions. He has a terrific work ethic and appetite for the game.

Kai CORNISH. Kai has now completed his university studies and therefore feels like a new signing. An accomplished dribbler that can impacts games in the final third.

We are hopeful it will be a big campaign for him.

Sam CARTER. Cart’s season had lift off around September last campaign. He found himself amongst the goals and assists from an attacking midfield position. Extremely athletic, Carts will be looking to build on his successful campaign last time around.

Jordan COPP. Jordan is one of the most technically gifted players the manager has worked with. He brings bags of experience and pedigree having operated at Step 2 with Weymouth. An attacking player of exceptional quality who can operate wide or centrally. He created 18 assists in the last campaign.

Rikki SHEPHERD. Rikki is a lightning quick striker who finished top scorer last campaign with 26 goals. He proved a big game player scoring in both of our cup winning finals. We are expecting more big things this season.

Jamie SIMMONDS. The manager honestly doesn’t know how this lad gets through each day! Aside from that, he is starting to flourish as a footballer in this environment and is more regularly impacting games in offensive positions. Jamie is one of the best technicians in the team and we are expecting big things from him this season.

Curtis DAMERELL. Another manager described Curtis as ‘the complete number 9’.

He was joint top scorer in the Western League last season. Curtis has had a slower start to the pre-season due to injury. However he is now well on the road to recovery and is getting better all the time on the training ground and in matches. Expect him to add huge value to the front line this season.

Helston Athletic is a well established Community based football club offering all that visit a warm and friendly welcome. The Club’s ground, Kellaway Park, offers great playing and clubhouse facilities.

In recent years, the Club has been successful both on and off the pitch and, as a result, we are now looking for additional people to join our team. Not the one ON the pitch but the one OFF it. The team behind the team, if that makes sense.

We are looking for anyone that feels that they can contribute whether it be in a professional, administrative or hands on role.

With matchdays becoming ever more popular, we are looking to volunteers to support our hospitality team, stewards, selling draw tickets, working on the gates or even just helping to tidy up after the game. You’ll get to watch the football free of charge but better still, you’ll be joining a small team of dedicated volunteers that make Helston Athletic Football club extra special.
