Welcome
Word From The Gaffer
After taking over at Rangers 3 season ago we have without a doubt managed to turn the club around. In the first season in charge it looked to many that the club was going to fold but with the introduction of new players and the return of old ones we managed to complete the season. Along the way we claimed one or two scalps and by no means were the worst team in the league. Having had a very poor start to the season we could not quite close the gap on those down there with us and we had to face the dreaded vote back into the league.
In the second season in charge we set about adding some more players and managed to keep most of the old ones. The season started brightly for us and in the first game we upset Culdrose (Eventual League Champions) in a keenly fought derby game. This season was for us about consolidating in the league and ensuring the club would not only survive but would flourish. We did that to good effect finishing a deserved 6th in the League and more importantly we had a side that could compete with anyone.
Not everything in a football club is about football and with the help of a dedicated committee we have turned the club around financially. In the first two seasons we managed to show a profit and for the first time in 5 years we had actually added money to the bank. Along the way we also secured a new sponsor and acquired a new strip. If not for those who contributed off the field we would not be in the position we are today. My thanks to you all.
This season is about pushing on and making this a local club that we can all be proud of. Having retained almost all of last years side and adding one or two new faces we now have the squad capable of not only challenging for a promotion but of achieving much more. I said to the players at the end of last season if we stick together we have a real chance of achieving something. They have pesponded to these words and we now look forward to a good season ahead.
Finally I would like to wish you all the best and thank all of those at Porthleven AFC for their support so far and all the best for the coming season and to First European Securities who are our main sponsors of the season providing us with our fantastic kit, Thank You Again.
