Schools and School-Club Links

Cornish schools and clubs are benefiting from being part of a national initiative to give pupils a chance to be part of a club.

Club Links is one of the 10 Key strands of the Governments PE, School Sport and Young People Strategy.

The overall project is managed on behalf of Department for Children, Schools and Families by Sport England. Football is one of the 22 sports chosen by the Government .

The scheme is a key part of Cornwall FA's and The FA's National Game Strategy's goal  to grow more teams and retain existing teams as part of the NGS.

ESFA Football Festival 2011
West Cornwall Under-14s entered the English Schools FA Isle of Wight Festival for the second year with the aim of providing the young players with experiences that will help develop them as footballers and as young men. Dealing with the heat as well the opposition was a great challenge for the players and they responded admirably on and off the pitch. The squad, managed by Cornwall College Camborne sports lecturer Dan Inch, competed in four matches over the five days as well as taking part in numerous activities to test the players. The performance of every player improved over the week as they adapted to the pace and intensity of the matches. A great learning experience for all involved. Results:
Game 1 vs Tameside (Manchester) Lost 3 - 0
Game 2 vs Nuneaton (Wales) Lost 7- 0
Game 3 vs Vale of White Horse (Oxfordshire) Drew 3 – 3 (L. Prynn 2, M. Vallejo)
Game 4 vs East Riding (Yorkshire) Lost 5 – 1 (L.Prynn)
