East Cornwall Schools Football Association

⚽ 🎉 Association Success Story 🎉⚽

We're proud to be nominated for the English Schools' Football Association 'Association Success Story Award' for the 2nd year running.

This nomination highlights the work and dedication that's been put over the past few years to offer a wider range of experiences and opportunities for footballers in our district.

This year, we've expanded to 7 teams, entered the Southern Counties Competitions, the ESFA Champions Cup and Knockout competitions and we attended the Jersey Primary Schools FA Festival for the first time in our associations history.

It's been an extremely busy year with thousands of miles travelled (not even an exaggeration) but plenty of valuable experiences had and long lasting memories made.

The nomination itself is a great achievement and something we're very proud of but if you are able to vote for East Cornwall in the Association Success Story category it would be much appreciated.

We'd also like to congratulate the other nominations and wish them the best of luck! 🙌

Our U13 Girls recently played a friendly against Poole and East Dorset SFA in preparation for their Plate Final in a few weeks time. The team were great hosts as always and we want to wish them good luck for their final! 🙌⚽⚫⚪

Our U11 B team took part in the Southern Counties Cup this afternoon at where they drew 3 and lost 1 in what was their first outing as a squad. The boys did brilliantly and were unlucky not to come away with a win after putting in some excellent performances. Well done to all of the players involved 👏⚽⚪⚫

Once again, the Southern Counties competitions have provided some fantastic experiences and memories for our u11 players this season! We'd like to thank Bob Owen from Gloucester PSFA for organising the numerous competitions and supporting us throughout! 🙌👍

⚫⚪⚽ East Vs West ⚽🟡 ⚫

We've had three fixtures recently against our close rivals West Cornwall. All were competitive games with lots of talent on display from both associations.

West Cornwall came away with the win in both the U11s and U12s Boys games where we showed lots of fight and determination but were outclassed by two incredibly strong sides. In the U15s Boys game, East Cornwall won 2-0 with a brilliant performance from the team following their recent success at Millfield last month. Well done to all of the players involved, it's great to see the future prospects within our County competing at a high level and doing so with such quality.

🙌⚽⚪⚫

It's our u15 Boys turn to take on our close rivals West Cornwall at Torpoint AFC. We're expecting an exciting match with two very talented sides going head to head! ⚽⚪⚫

Good luck to West Cornwall Schools u12 Girls who are in the ESFA National Cup final! This is a huge achievement and something the players and coaches should be incredibly proud of, no matter the outcome of the game!

All of Cornwall is behind you! Chons da!

U12 9v9 Girls’ Champions Cup: Liverpool v West Cornwall English Schools’ FA Inter-Association Cup Finals 2026

We've got a triple threat of fixtures tonight for our Boys teams with our U11s and U12s playing the 2nd of 3 fixtures against West Cornwall at Penryn College whilst our U13s are taking on Yeovil SFA in the T Roberts Shield at Camelford FC.

Good luck to everyone involved! ⚫⚪⚽

🏆⚽ Southern Counties Cup Finals ⚽🏆

Our U11 Boys and Girls Teams took part in the Southern County League Cup finals today at Oxford City FC.

The boys kicked things off in the morning and even though we took a few games to get going, we ended up with a great set of results, drawing 2 and losing just 1 of their group games. Unfortunately, we narrowly missed out on the top 2 places and finished 3rd place in the group. The team capped off the event with another resolute and assured performance in the 3rd vs 3rd game, drawing 0-0 against a very competitive Brent SFA side. The fact that we draw and beat the two teams who finished above us in the group, just shows how close and competitive the games were. The boys were fantastic throughout, worked incredibly hard and should be really proud of themselves.

In the afternoon, it was the girls turn to showcase their ability. In the group stage, we drew 2 and won 2 which put us in 2nd place. We then faced Caerphilly SFA in the semi finals which we dominated possession but couldn't get the goal the performance deserved. The game finished 0-0 and subsequently went to penalties. Thanks to some clinical finishing and some incredible saves from our keeper, Alice, we won the shootout and progressed through to the final. Here, we came up against a very strong Slough side, who like us, had hardly conceded any goals all day. Although we played some brilliant football, we couldn't break them down and the final finished 0-0. It was mutually agreed that the Trophy would be shared and both teams would be crowned champions! This way, 22 girls left with huge smiles on their faces and lots of positive memories made! The girls showed so much fight, determination and resilience throughout the event and represented our district with great pride.

We'd like to thank for hosting the event, Bob Owen from for organising both competitions and all of our player's parents for making the long journey from down in Cornwall! 🙌

ESFA South-West T-Roberts Shield ⚽

This year, our u13s have entered the T-Roberts Shield where we compete against other associations in the South West.

Here are the results so far:
Fixture 1 - West Cornwall 7-0 East Cornwall
Fixture 2 - North Dorset 2 - 7 East Cornwall

One loss and one win so far, with Yeovil SFA travelling down to us on the 8th May followed by Plymouth SFA on the 14th May.

⚽⚪⚫

Our U15s finished the week with a draw against Plymouth SFA U14s. A slower paced game but still some neat football being played. We found ourselves 1-0 and 2-1 down but showed character to fight back. With the game finishing 2-2.

Overall, it's been an incredible week for the U15s, having only played two games together previously, the players have bonded on and off the pitch and become a cohesive team in such a short space of time. The boys played with passion, excitement and with freedom, coming away with 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw and scoring an impressive 18 goals throughout the week. This is a huge achievement for all involved!

A big thank you to our U15s Coach Sam Matthews who was the driving force behind creating the team this season, providing the players with this fantastic opportunity! 🙌
