NEW RESERVES MANAGER LOOKS TO FUTURE

Having joined the club during pre-season, new Penzance LFC Reserves Manager Danny Turner has his sights set on not only bringing trophies to the club, but also helping to ensure the club's bright future.
After helping Madron Ladies restore their Cornwall League Division 1 status, Danny has clearly set his sights on his next challenge;

"My main aim is to progress up the leagues as quickly as possible. As a reserve team, our main job is to bring on players who will then go on to play for the first team, helping them achieve their long-term goals. Getting closer to the first team is the key. At the moment if players do progress, the jump they make in terms of the distance between the leagues is too big, ideally the first and reserve teams should only be one or two leagues apart. To do this, we cant be satisfied with what we'll achieve this year and what we have achieved in the past, we have to set standards and raise the bar as we reach those standards. This is a fresh start as far as I'm concerned and hopefully we can attract players in the process, who have maybe left the club, and even new players."

Danny has also been impressed by the structure of the club and the work that is being done with the younger players. "When I was asked to step in and help, I found it hard to refuse. The ability of the players in both teams will bring success in the near future and hopefully the club now has a conveyer belt which will provide good players in years to come. The commitee helps drive the club forward and now everyone at the club is looking forward to the next few seasons."
