A well pleased Mass after Helston's 5-2 win ag Weston-super-Mare in the FA Youth Cup

Especially as its the first time in just over 60 years! Helston Athletic's Under-18s become the first team from Cornwall to play in the national FA Youth Cup competition since season 1957-58. The Blues travel to Weston-super-Mare on Tuesday and the management team of Stu Giles and Martyn Daughtery spared CORNISH SOCCER some time ahead of the match to give their thoughts on what will be a special day whatever the outcome. Amidst the interview the club Chairman Paul Hendy phoned Stu to finalise the coach arrangements! As Stu said every club has special people behind it and Paul is one. Every club also need sponsors and well done to Scorse Foods Ltd for the tracksuits and Meneage Dental for the kit and training tops. We wish Helston the best of luck in this journey.

Tuesday's games are Camelford v Sticker, Godolphin Atlantic v Tavistock and Millbrook v Saltash United. While on Wednesday Bodmin Town host Newquay and St Austell take on Plymouth Argyle. Unfortunately CORNISH SOCCER wasn't able to speak to anyone from this last mentioned match.

In the latest CORNISH SOCCER Podcast episode, ex-pro and now Saltash United player/coach Lee Phillips gives the new media ideas the thnumb up!

We find out from Lee whether it is St Ives or Penzance? How he came about becoming a pro at Argyle though a Cornwall County Youth match! His two most favourite clubs where he played. How his moment of glory scoring his debut Football League goal was overshadowed! The bad break at Argyle. There's an interesting answer to asking him "Would you do it all again?" Money in the pro game! The pre-season so far at Saltash. Looking forward to coaching. The opening matches for the Ashes - one of which Lee will miss as he's on holiday - how did that come about? Who else to think about in the SWPL Premier this season - not just Tavistock! And how training has altered - for the better as far as Lee is concerned!

The CORNISH SOCCER Podcast eventually caught up with former Truro City favorite Stewart Yetton. We hear his thoughts on a load of subjects - England's World Cup, Love Island, Shane Krac's abs, Cody Cooke's St Mirren move, his season with Truro City, which ex-Truro players to play cards with, his decision to join Parkway, pre-season training, Glynn Hobbs, a word for the Truro supporters and the sports we probably won't ever see Yettsy play!
