Chaddlewood Miners Old Boys Sundays

Took us just the 16 years to get our hands on silverware once again 🩷🩵🏆 🕰️

*31/05/26*

It was a big day for the club as we faced a very young and energetic Queen & Con 2nds team in the Cup Final at Coach Road 🏆

CMOB 2 - 2 Q&C 2nds
(Penalties 11 - 10)

Q&C were very keen on the day, arriving by coach at the ground early with their winners banner and champagne 🚎 👀
CMOB would travel up separately by car and look to get their heads into the big game.
Jordan Dunn’s dad was ecstatic to see some of supporters for once with a good turn out from our friends and family 🩷🩵
Despite the Gaffa’s message to not be late, this is Sunday league, so of course the usual offenders did the exact opposite with Sean Esson, Callum Treleaven & Kian Berry strolling in just in time for the warm up 🕰️
After our warm up on the day, pure nostalgia would follow with the OG Gaffa, Mark Lethbridge and Phil ‘Pepper Head’ James attending 🧑‍🦲
The OG Gaffa’s would take up their space as part of the management team and deliver an unreal team talk before the game 😮‍💨
I think the lads were transported back in time in this moment and instantly up for the fight 🤛
Lee Dare and Jake Evans would return from troublesome injuries, Lewis Kittle would be deployed at fullback and Sam Russell would bolster our midfield area 💪🏻
Dave Smith would unfortunately rule himself out of the game with a bad back, he would though take up his role as manager in the dugout 👴🏻
The game itself would start at pace with Q&C showing their attacking intentions early.
They would take a hold of the game early and dictate really well 😳
The Q&C winger was very tricky, he’d beat Lee Dare, get a ball into our box but the striker would fire the ball just wide.
CMOB would do a fair bit of running in the opening exchanges but waste the ball on most occasions 😫
Kian Berry was a real bright spark for us however with plenty of snakey runs at the Q&C defence 🐍
It was the Q&C winger who would make his mark on the game first when he went down in the box, the referee would initially book him for diving but the Lino would end up overruling KO him and a penalty was awarded 🟨 ❌
The striker would step up, make no mistake and convert from the spot.
The attacks from Q&C would keep on coming but CMOB would remain in the game and resilient as ever.
At one point the Q&C striker had got in behind the CMOB defence, he was sprinting towards goal, Sean Esson would do what he does best though, he’d get himself back in and make a fantastic last ditch tackle 👏
The HT whistle would blow at 0-1 with CMOB struggling to make an impact on the game in all honesty.
The Gaffa would make some changes at the break, bringing Cayleb Needham on up front and Fraser Ferris on for the injured Lee Dare 🚑
In the second half CMOB would start really well and really start to impose themselves on the game now.
We were rewarded for our efforts shortly after HT when we were awarded a penalty ourselves, this time following a high foot on the Gaffa.
Jake Evans would of course calmly slot the ball home and draw us level in the game 😬
Kian Berry would continue to be an absolute menace for us and terrorise the Q&C defence 🔥
Q&C were now in far less control but were still very much dangerous in attack.
The Q&C striker would be busy but would waste a number of chances in and around the box.
Jake Evans was the next player to depart the game with another injury and was replaced by Nick Baldwin 🚑
Nick would jump straight into the action with his constant running but would oddly find himself as a target for the rowdy Q&C supporters in the stands 🤔
Shouts would ring out from the back row of the stands, calling out our bald players and saying that our No 12 is s*it 😂
Soon after Q&C would regain the lead when their CM found himself on the right hand side, he would ping a delightful cross into the box and the Q&C striker would divert the ball into our net 🥅
The Devon Cup trophy was almost in Q&C’s hands moments later again when their player let go of an unbelievable strike from distance.
Luckily for us the ball would hit the crossbar, bounce agonisingly close to the line and back out again 🤯
Cayleb Needham was left flabbergasted when Kian Berry’s driving run didn’t end with him slotting him in on goal.
Nick Baldwin would turn into Messi for a second, prance around three Q&C players before tripping over his own laces 😂
With the clock ticking CMOB would win themselves a series of corners at the death.
The first would be expertly defended by Q&C, clearing a goal bound effort off the line.
The following corner however would be lofted into the box again by the ever dependable Jack Lethbridge, the ball would go close to the keeper, Trigger would jump for the ball but miss, the keeper would then end up spilling it and the Gaffa would be on hand to bundle the ball in off the defender 🙏🏻👀👏
With minutes to play the boys would see the game into a dreaded penalty shootout 😕
What would follow would blow the minds of everyone at the ground.
There were some brilliant penalties on display with Lee Britchford’s being the pick of the bunch 😍 🗑️
The Gaffa would of course involve himself in the drama and end up getting sent off for dedicating his pen to an abusive Q&C fan 😫🍓
Callum Treleaven would be the hero on the day, fly across his goal to push the ball away with both hands and win us the Devon Cup against the odds🏆🎉
This was a momentous achievement for CMOB with this being only our second season back together.
We had not won a trophy in 16 years and it was such a good day for all involved.
MoM goes to Kian Berry who was an ever present threat on the day and unlucky not to get on the scoresheet himself 🥇

It was the final league game of the season for us and we faced a resilient Princetown side at Legends Park.

Princetown 1 - 4 CMOB

Preparation wasn’t great for this fixture with a large amount of the lads turning up very late to the game ⏰
Lee Dare was running things with the Gaffa away for the weekend and still serving his suspension 🍓
Lee would take no rubbish from the players and bench some of the late offenders 😂
Matt Galloway would be between the sticks for the second week running 🧤
Kian Berry & Sam Russell would return to the squad in the hope of securing the 3 points for us.
Joe Borockzy was in fine form and would run the Princetown defence ragged.
Joe Borockzy would take away a brace on the day and be unlucky not to take away the MoM award.
Kian Berry would grab yet another goal for himself this season and again cause the full back all sorts of problems 🔥
The goal of the day though came from Jordan Dunn who unleashed an absolute rocket into the top bins to secure the game for us 🚀 🗑️
The MoM award also goes to Jordan Dunn who was unbelievable on the day, completely solid in defence and brilliant going forward 🥇

With the games now running out fast, CMOB were desperate to finally find some form going into our game Vs Q&C 2nds 🙏🏻
It was our last Home game of the season and Yealmpton was looking fantastic 🏡

CMOB 2 - 6 Princetown

We would welcome Matt Galloway into the squad to help us out in the goalkeeping department.
Steve Wills would last minute turn up and take up a place on the bench as an outfield player 🧤👀
Jordan Dunn would also make him return despite struggling with multiple injuries 🚑
Finally Dave Smith would be deployed at CB with Trigger missing & the Gaffa suspended 🍓
CMOB would start well in this game and would take the lead early on through Jack Lethbridge.
The ball would be squared to Jack on the edge of the box, Jack would compose himself before sending a worm burner right into the corner of the net 🪱 🔥
Princetown however would react brilliantly and their CM would score a great goal from distance.
Princetown would continue to turn the screw and take the lead in the game.
CMOB would respond again when Jake Evans went past his man and was fouled in the box.
Jake would step up to take the penalty himself and slot it home brilliantly 👏
Unfortunately for us we could not get a hold of the game and Princetown would end up walking away with it on the day 😫
To make matters worse, Jake Evans would pull up with a hamstring strain with 10 minutes left on the clock ⏰ 🚑
Despite the injury Jake was the main man for us on the day, he was dangerous at all times and takes home the MoM award 🥇

CMOB were involved in an evening fixture against a forever tricky South Brent outfit.
South Brent would of course be looking for revenge after we knocked them out of the Sunday Supplementary Cup at the Semi Final stage🏆

South Brent 2 - 1 CMOB

Despite having a Cup Final in the not so distant future, CMOB were struggling to get a squad together for our remaining fixtures 😫
Liam Hooks would be drafted in to play as an outfield player and Sam Russell would play his 4th game in 5 days 🏃🏻🙏🏻
Ollie Pound would also make himself available and help us out massively.
The pitch was very bobbly and dry but both teams would do their best to try and play football.
South Brent would make the breakthrough first and take the lead in the game.
We would respond though an expertly converted Jack Lethbridge free kick 🚀
South Brent would take the lead yet again in the game when their player curled a brilliant effort in after a snakey run 🐍
We would throw everything at South Brent to try and rescue something from the game.
The Gaffa would be fouled in the penalty box late in the game 👀👀👀 The referee pointed to the spot but then seemed to forget about it 5 minutes later and give us a free kick instead 😂
Shortly after the whistle would blow and we would continue our poor league form with yet another loss.
MoM goes to the goal scorer who never gave up and did his best to drag us back into the game with a great free kick👏

CMOB were fresh from a good result vs Seymour but knew they would be met with a tough game on Friday night at DHS.

Tamar View 2nds 9 - 0 CMOB

CMOB would do ok in the opening exchanges of the game but wouldn’t manage to create anything worthwhile.
For pretty much the whole game the boys in claret & blue would really struggle to get any sort of opportunity on goal, we were also very poor on the ball and defensively throughout 🩷🩵😫
Tamar seconds however were straight out the of the blocks on the night and you could tell they were hungry for victory.
There was some great football on display from them and some fantastic goals on show in this game 👏
We were never in it and the 3 points went deservingly to Tamar 2nds.
Congratulations to Tamar who went unbeaten all season and are Champions of Sunday Division 2 🔥
Tamar also took some great photos and was kind enough to get some of the lads best angles 😂 📷
Not a great showing from us but Callum Treleaven was in fine form despite the amount of goals he had to pick out of his net 🥅
It could of been much much more if it wasn’t for him and his heroics 🧤🥇

🏆 🩷🩵

They came from behind to win it in the longest Devon County Cup final shootout of all time! Chaddlewood Miners are the Sunday Supplementary Cup champions!

*19/04/26*

After a disappointing result last time out vs Horrabridge, the boys were looking for a result and a much improved performance this week💪🏻

Seymour 0 - 10 CMOB

CMOB were blessed with good numbers this week but Jordan Dunn was a little worse for wear after his Plympton pub crawl the night before 🍻 🤢
Jordan would throw up a number of times before taking his place on the bench.
Lee Dare would be deployed in between the sticks in order to give his hamstrings a rest🧤
The boys in blue would start really well and get themselves in front on the day 💙 🤍
The Gaffa would cut inside from the left, slide a pass to Jack Lethbridge who would expertly curl an effort into the net 👏
The Gaffa was again involved, he would push a ball through the lines to Joe Borockzy who beat the offside trap, Borockzy now bearing down on goal, he’d shoot from the angle, the ball was going towards the halfway line in fairness but luckily for him the defender would finish it off for him 👀😂
Jake Evans was next on the scoresheet when he coolly slotted the ball home from close range 🧊 🆒
Dave ‘Trigger’ Wrench would then 50p head a number of headed efforts wide of the mark 🪙
The ball was then delivered deep into the box, the Gaffa had a free header at goal, Joe Borockzys bum would get in the way however and the ball eventually would land kindly for Lewis Kittle, Lewis would compose himself before driving the ball powerfully home on the volley 🚀
Next Jake Evans would d**k a ball over the Seymour defence, the Gaffa would pick the ball up in behind, the keeper had come a long way but the Gaffa would end up caressing the ball past him and find the net 🥅 ⚽️
Nick Baldwin was introduced at HT and he was straight into the action when he met a ball first time from distance, he caught it so well, the ball was destined for the top corner but somehow the keeper would push it around his post 😫 ❌
Nick would moments later find the net when Frazer Ferris’s jinking run set up Nick to strike the ball from the edge of the box.
The ball would loop perfectly over the keeper and nestle nicely in the Seymour goal 👏
The pitch had been cut but the lines had not been marked unfortunately.
This proved to be a massive issue for Nick Baldwin who tried to take a throw in from the centre of the pitch 👀😂
Joe Borockzy would get in behind 1v1, he was ready to place the ball but would end up hitting it straight at the keeper, the ricochet would end up at Jake Evans feet for an easy tap in.
Jake Evans was in the thick of it again soon after down the right hand side, he’d get past the full back and pull a straight ball back for Nick Baldwin to bundle the ball into the net ⚽️⚽️
Throughout the game Jake Evans had formed a good relationship with the Seymour Lino, the Lino had pulled him up for being offside for most of the second half 😂 🚩
Jack Lethbridge then would deliver a cross from wide, Joe Borockzy would go to meet it with his head, head it onto the defender and again somehow find the net.
Finally Sean Esson got himself on the scoresheet when he had moved himself upfront in the game.
Jordan Dunn had just about got his head out of the pub by now and delivered a delightful ball across goal for Sean to finish in the box.
Just as the game was coming to a close a horrible noise was heard, everyone thought it was just a clash of shin pads but it turns out the Seymour defender had got his leg stuck in the ground and unfortunately broken his leg 🚑
The game was brought to a close 5 minutes early because of this, we take away the 3 points but we wish the Seymour player a speedy recovery 🙏🏻
Some classy performances all around the pitch today but MoM goes to Nick Baldwin who was unstoppable in this game.
Full of running and was also dangerous in front of goal 🏃🏻 🔥 🥇

CMOB faced an energetic Horrabridge rangers away from home in the hope of taking away another 3 points this season 🤞

Horrabridge 2 - 2 CMOB

The Gaffa would welcome back players after the disappointing Admiral Macbride results.
Only Sean Esson would make it into the starting 11 however, with the rest having to settle for a place on the bench.
Sam Russell would join the squad and look to make his first appearance of the season for us.
Dave Smith would be forced in between the sticks again this season will all of our x20 keepers unavailable 🧤 👴🏻
The pitch was a bobbly one and CMOB would really struggle to get a grip of the game early on.
Horrabridge was far more comfortable on the pitch and definitely had more of the ball.
We were then dealt a blow early on when we defended a corner horrendously.
The ball would be delivered via a corner and the Horrabridge player would head the ball home unchallenged 😫
This would kick CMOB into action and we would begin to finally pass the ball around as best as we could.
CMOB would level through the Gaffa who was playing off the left in this game.
He’d receive the ball out wide, drive at the full back, cut inside before firing a powerful effort that could not be stopped by the keeper 👏
Almost straight away the Gaffa was at it again and rolling back the years.
This time he would pull off his trademark Jay Jay Okocha skill move, turn the full back inside out again, fire another shot at goal …. Buttttt the ball would just skim the post and go out for a goal kick 🔥
The whistle would go for half time after a poor half in general from the boys in blue and white 💙🤍
The Gaffa would look to his bench, make all possible changes and try to turn the game in our favour.
The changes would make an instant impact and we would start the second half with a large amount of possession.
After some good play in the midfield, the ball would be played in between the Horrabridge defenders and find Jake Evans in on goal.
Jake would make no mistake and slide the ball past the helpless keeper 🧊 🆒
The more the game would go on, the more CMOB would let Horrabridge back into the match.
Horrabridge would bring on their tall striker and it was him who would draw them level in the game.
The ball would be played over Trigger who was running in treacle and we would recover momentarily before the ball would go out wide again 🐌
The wide player would poke a ball into the box and the tall striker would get there first and slide the ball into our net 🥅
CMOB would push for a winner and we were so close to it right at the end.
The Gaffa would go down the left, deliver a ball into the box and find Jack Lethbridge who just could not direct the ball towards the goal 🥲
The game would finish level in what was a bad day at the office for the lads.
MoM goes to Lee Dare who showed plenty of quality on the ball and played a number of different positions on the day 🥇
