This account has been created to promote the project that is needed in Torpoint & Rame Peninsula. We are the only town in SE Cornwall not to have a 3G pitch
Complete wash out of @torpointafc Senior fixtures this weekend.
Looking forward to getting the opportunity to watch the impressive @TorpointYouth U16's at Raleigh.

Unfortunately, The Mill has fallen victim to the rain overnight and today’s ECPL match has been postponed.
This is in addition to the P&WD fixture which was postponed yesterday.

Our town is in such desperate need for a 3G pitch. No games today for 4 adult sides and every age group from u7s-u16s! No game for the 3rd team now for 9 weeks by time of our next fixture. #whitewash
The climate has changed, we must accept that, and our winters are milder and much wetter. The @FA should fund the installation of an artificial pitch in every town which has a non league football club.
Yet another reason to have an all-weather pitch in Torpoint. We can only imagine that there are loads of @TorpointYouth & @torpointafcJ games postponed because of the weather today also.
Torpoint and Rame Active Community Network are pleased to confirm that Torpoint Town Council have re-affirmed their financial assistance of £10,000 towards the All Weather Pitch project.
Progress has has been delayed over the past months in establishing significant funding to enable the project to progress, but recent events may pave the way to explore other avenues.
@cornwallfa@premierleague@FA@DCMS@FootballFoundtn This is great, however Torpoint is left behind, the forgotten corner. One in Torpoint would transform so many lives & for the community altogether. Can’t be many towns of Torpoint’s size in Cornwall without one? I know many are working hard for one @Torpoint3G@torpointymca
@Torpoint3G most of the youth teams will have to train at Horsen field this winter under temporary floodlights. Cannot use Raleigh and YMCA is fully booked. We need an all weather facility with lights
@henrywinter@IanNockolds Be great to see some of this investment filter down to areas such as Cornwall @Torpoint3G, where we have been trying to secure funding for a 3G for the past 15 years.
Today’s Budget announcement saw the Government pledge an additional £25m investment into grassroots football facilities across the UK.
A huge boost for our plans to transform grassroots football, along with our funding partners the @premierleague, @FA, @DCMS and @Sport_England.
We've welcomed the news that @RishiSunak will commit £25million of new funding towards grassroots football facilities in tomorrow's Budget announcement:
A HUGE milestone in our long-term plan for better grassroots football facilities across England.
