You deserve to get some recognition for your work I do believe you have a great talent for photography, i saw that in the photographs at my friends house and you reinforced that in your photographs of me.

Lark Fleet LEJOG in aid of The Willow Foundation

2010-06-27T10:55:00.002+01:00

We travelled down to Lands End yesterday 26th June 2010, to meet the LarkFleet LEJOG team who were starting the famous End to End in aid of the Willow Foundation. Former Arsenal and Scotland Goalkeeper Bob Wilson and his wife Megs were there to see the team off in fabulous conditions. Just a shame we could not quite see The Isles of Scilly due to the heat haze.

Sunday Independent

2009-10-13T15:25:00.004+01:00

It's been busy taking photos of the sporting activities around Newquay this last month but last week had an order from the Sunday Independent to cover the FA Cup third round qualifier Truro City FC vs Mangotsfield United. A good result with quite a few pictures published, one of which was nearly a full page and the cover of the Sport supplement. It was also a favourite shot of mine that seemed to capture the moment 1 min from time when Truro City recovered to score and thus force a replay.

Please click the picture to enlarge.

It has been a busy old time

2009-07-23T10:49:00.002+01:00

July has been quite busy with jobs for the Newspapers. Have covered the Newquay 2nd XI Cricket team, the Groms 2009 qualifiers, Newquay AFC vs Plymouth Parkway, the Surf Relief Festival and the Newquay Surf 7's Rugby. Will post some pix in a while.

The weather at the Rugby was challenging to say the least, some sun, some cloud then lots of Rain but the teams seemed undeterred and the British Army won through to take the Invitational Title for the second year running.

Sports Photography in Newquay

2009-06-30T16:04:00.002+01:00

Well the 1st of July will see me take over the Sports related Photography in the Newquay and District area for Cornwall & Devon Media. This is great news as I have missed meeting up with the different teams and covering sports events fo r the past few months. It should help out the contract photographer who was running a bit ragged with little time off so I guess winners all round.

Looking forward to cracking on and to cover not only the football but all sport from now on.

Play Ball !

Nugget & Ali return to present a cheque to Cornwall Air Ambulance

2009-06-30T15:57:00.001+01:00

Having left Lands End on the evening of the 8th of May surrounded by local bikers, Anthony “ Nugget “ Gorton and his girlfriend Ali Middleton set course for John O’Groats on not only their holiday but to raise money for the Cornwall Air Ambulance and the Ashgate Hospice in Chesterfield.
With stops in Chesterfield, Consett in Co Durham and Aviemore before arriving at John O’Groats on the 12th of May which just happened to be Nugget’s birthday. Ali said “ Whilst we were there we decided why not make it a North to South run so rode up to Dunnet Head so that we could stop by the Lizard on the way back to Lands End”
The return trip was via Boura, Loch Ness then to Gretna Green and unbeknown to Ali the hotel that was lined up was where people go to get married although Nugget did not take the bate !.
Commenting on the weather Ali said “ The weather was just great all the way up and back as far as the English border then it tipped down for three days, but it was just glorious in Scotland – clear blue skies”
As to the mileage Nugget said “ Well the new bike has got another 2120 miles on the clock”
It was all smiles from the Chief Executive of the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust, Paula Martin as Nugget and Ali presented her with £ 1510.15 at their headquarters at Victoria, Roche. Paula thanked them and was interested to learn about the trip. They have also presented the Ashgate Hospice in Chesterfield with £620.00

Worral Shield Final

2009-05-20T19:28:00.003+01:00

Worral Shield Final between East Cornwall Schoolboys and Yeovil Schoolboys, thanks to Jim Hilton, Manager of Newquay AFC for the match report. Photos can be purchased on our website - choose the link on the left.

Match Report :

East Cornwall Schools narrowly missed out in this excellent Cup Final game played at Mount Wise. Both teams went at it hammer and tong from the start. Tom Ellacott nearly gave E C S an ideal start but his athletic volley was tipped on to the bar by the Yeovil keeper. After 15 minutes Jack Stevens collected the ball just inside the opponents half he carried it forward and hit a fine 25 yard shot that dipped over the keeper. The game was very tight and competitive and both sides put in some good strong tackles. The second period followed a similar pattern. Half way into the second half and the Yeovil left back drove in field and was allowed to carry the ball too far and hit a fine angled drive that just beat the diving Sam Trudgian. E C S came back strongly and Jordan Copp hit a left foot free kick that the keeper spilled onto the bar. Isaac Vassell was introduced and looked lively and when Jack Stevens hit a pin point cross Vassell didn't make clean contact and the ball somehow hit the bar when it seemed easier for it to go in. With a minute to go Copp evaded several challenges but unfortunately dragged his shot wide. Extra time was played in the same competitive way but neither team could force a winner. On the night Yeovil took their penalties better than the Duchy boys but our lads were the better team and can feel very proud of their performance last night and throughout the season. A big thank you to Lee Hazeldine and Alan Yendall for the excellent manner in which they have looked after the boys over the last two seasons.

We have finished off the job by covering the last couple of Cup Finals and will return in earnest at the start of the new Football Season - watch this space.

These pix are The Vets Supplemenary Cup that took place last night at Mount Wise Stadium - home of Newquay AFC.

What a day !!

2009-04-25T07:39:00.002+01:00

Well the weather is awful ! Looks as though the football match between Newquay and Porthleven may well be off today so it will be a day at home cleaning cameras and lenses I guess.

The end can for the bike never came ! No call from Dameralls Motorcycles so I guess you need more than 5 days to order and get something delivered in this next day society we live in !! Shame as with this weather I could have spent some time in the garage fitting it.

Still trying to shop local although it sometimes makes you wish you had ordered online but if we do not support local business than there will be nothing left.
