Cornish Non-League Side Loses 55-0
By Ollie Irish
Check the recent results (click to see larger image):
When Madron, one of the worst teams in Cornwall’s Mining League Division 1, played against league leaders Illogan Reserves recently, they had to make do with only seven players, and no recognised keeper, after several of their team dropped out before kick-off. Unprofessional – Fergie would not stand for that shit.
The end result was a 55-0 mega-thrashing for the Penzance-based club. That’s one goal conceded approximately every 100 seconds. Madron’s goal difference is now a stupendously bad -203.
“Nobody enjoys games like that. We certainly didn’t enjoy it,” said Illogan assistant manager Mark Waters after the game. “I have nothing but admiration for the seven Madron players, but it does make a mockery of the league.
“We paid Madron a lot of respect and just got on with the game. They came into the bar afterwards and they were as good as gold.”
PS. Cornwall’s Mining League Division 1 has a contender for ‘Most Awesome Club Name In Football’: Storm FC, a team based in Camborne. No clue why they are below even abject Madron though, on -3 points. Anyone?

I love this team name : Newlyn Non Athletico. Check out the description on their site “Newlyn Non Athletico were formed in 1990, when a group of friends decided to work off a hangover one Sunday morning by kicking a ball around.” Genius
‘Madron’s goal difference is now a stupendously bad -203′ – right because before that result it was an acceptable -148!!
How do you add a picture to your name when commenting?
Surely forfeiting the game would have resulted in a lower score penalty?
Pretty sure the U16 team I played for had a goal difference of more than -150 and we only managed half a season – we got kicked out of the league for not being able to field a full team each week.
better names have got to be inter mi-nan and Ladzio

They also lost 27-0 on the 11th, but I guess thats only half as bad!
has to be close to a world record doesnt it?
Storm FC’s site seems to only acknowledge one other team in their league. Maybe they’re being deducted points for refusing to fulfil games against unrecognised sides…

“Nobody enjoys a game like that.” and “We paid Madron a lot of respect”? Really? Was somebody holding a gun to your head and forcing you to score every other minute? Very respectful.
I agree that a forfeit would have been both less costly points-wise and less humiliating…

Yeah, Storm have been docked points for failing to turn up to fixtures. Another team in the league has folded so Madron are moving up every week…kind of. Also, I play for Newlyn Non-Ahletico and the club ethos hasn’t changed ever so much over the last several years. ;)
