Lizard Argyle manager Craig Pollard is pleased with how his side are adapting to life in the Combination League this season.

Argyle earned promotion from the Trelawny League at the end of last year and are now enjoying their debut Combination campaign.

“It’s going really well so far,” Pollard said. “It’s a long season so there’s going to be a lot of ups and downs and we’re kind of finding that now.

“We started off the season really well, I think we won our first few games and drew against a couple and thought life was fairly easy.

“But it has come and bitten us on the backside a little bit in the last few games and we struggled with four games without a win but thankfully won at the weekend.”

Argyle began the season in superb style with back-to-back 5-1 and 6-0 wins against West Cornwall and Porthleven, before a recent five-game winless run threatened to sour their super start.

But the club won 3-0 at home to St Agnes on Saturday to end the run of four defeats and lift the club up to 11th position.

Despite the up-and-down start, Pollard is satisfied with his team’s introduction to life in the division.

“It’s a really competitive league,” he said. “So mid-table I would have gone for and I think we are pretty much in the middle.

“We are kind of on a point a game at the moment which is OK. I was hoping for a little bit better if I’m honest because I knew we had a good team.

“We’ve lost a couple of players in the last two weeks who have gone back to uni which has disrupted us a little bit, but generally I’m fairly happy with the start.”

Attention will now turn away from the league and to Saturday’s Cornwall Senior Cup clash, which again will be the club’s first foray into the competition.

Lying in wait for Argyle is a local derby at home to SWPL Division 1 West club Wendron United.

“Yeah we’re looking forward to that,” Pollard said. “Obviously we’ve never played in the Senior Cup before.

“We’ve obviously played their reserve side in the last few years, they have been in the same league and they came up with us last year.

“They’re a good footballing side, any Wendron side really, so we’re hoping that we’re going to get the same with them because we like to play good football as well.

“It’ll be a hell of a test but it will be nice to test where we are, we’re really looking forward to it and it’ll be interesting to see what Saturday brings.”
