Magpies unnerved bt Ports winning run - Marks
A third straight win in the league – and 16 goals scored in that period – keeps Porthleven two points ahead of Penzance, who have a game in hand.
But despite Port’s impressive run, Marks does not feel that Penzance will be concerned by the title-winning form they have shown of late. “I don’t think we necessarily have Penzance worried because they’re a quality side,” said Marks. “We’ve got some massive 
games and we’ve still got to play them. “We have to play all the top sides still but that’s what it’s all about.”On our own ground we will give anyone a game. At the moment I can’t ask for anymore. We’re top of the league and in the quarter finals of the Senior Cup and Charity Cup.”
Following defeats to Penzance and Newquay in December and January respectively, Porthleven’s title bid is 
now firmly on track following two wins over Truro (6-1 and 5-1) and 5-1 victory over Camelford. “At the end of the day all we can do is keep winning our games,” said Marks. “There’s still a long way to go and there will be ups and downs. “It’s close between the top four or five teams and it’s whoever’s going to have the determination and the bottle to go 
on and win the league. “That’s what we’re trying to instil here.”What has pleased Marks is that his players are now beginning to make their domination count in front of goal. At the end of last year he was concerned that his side weren’t making the most of the opportunities they were creating.
But following their recent goal glut Marks is delighted with their form in the final third. He said: “All in all I’m pleased and all we can do is keep going and keep playing the opposition that’s put in front of us. It’s good to see we’re taking our chances. We are creating eight or nine in games and we’re starting to put them away.”.

Porthleven 1st XI 3 v Millbrook (Senior Cup 3rd Round)
On Saturday 24th January Port were home to Millbrook in the third round of the Cornwall Senior Cup looking to avoid one of the many surprise upsets in this year’s competition. There were only three Premier clubs left in the competition and both Falmouth & Torpoint were knocked out today. This left Saltash whose game at home to Dobwalls was postponed.
On a wet, soft surface Port just shaded the opening fifteen minutes although neither side really fashioned a clear-cut chance. In the 21st minute a Darren Burchell free kick was knocked down by 
Richard Young for Lee Bradd to hammer into the back of the net 1-0.
Although Port proceeded to dominate the rest of the half. Millbrook were always dangerous on the break but at half time the scoreline was still 1-0 and the only other chance was a header narrowly wide by Young from a Jamie Thirkle cross.
Within minutes of the start of the second half Millbrook won a penalty which Danny Burrows saved with his legs. Almost immediately Thirkle broke down the left and crossed for an unmarked Kevin Lawrence to make the score 2-0.
As the pitch began to cut up the game became a midfield battle with the visitors spurning two good chances while Port, for all their passing & movement, could not find the final ball. Gradually the pressure mounted as Port threw numbers forward and Millbrook began to tire. Josh Kemp had two good shots just wide while Thirkle & Lawrence were increasingly dangerous down the flanks.
Eventually a Lawrence cross was knocked down by Bradd and substitute Danny Williams got the final goal 3-0.

Truro City Reserves 1 v Porthleven 6 14th Jan 09
Scorers: D Burchell (2), J Thirkle (2), S Reynolds, R Young
Match Report: By Footie Guy
Port were straight on the attack as Jamie Thirkle & Darren Burchell brought fine saves from the home keeper. But a young Truro side fought back and played some excellent passing football on a good surface as both sides were involved in a high tempo midfield battle where the only thing missing was the final ball. On 24 minutes a Truro free kick was whipped across the area and a fine run & finish put the home side a goal ahead. Burchell & Thirkle had half-chances before Truro had a second goal disallowed for offside. The game changed when Burchell picked up the ball on the left of the Truro area, looked up and curled it into the far top corner to bring the scores level.
The second half opened with Port on the attack as Burchell, Thirkle and Stuart Reynolds had further chances and gradually the Port midfield took over. Thirkle broke down the left, passed inside to Steve Warr who laid it off for Burchell to hammer a thirty yard rocket past the keeper 2-1. Three minutes later Josh Kemp won the ball in midfield and set up Reynolds to hit a low drive and make the score 3-1 but Truro came back and crucially missed two chances befpre Kemp again found Reynolds and his flick-on allowed Thirkle to smash the ball home 4-1.
Reynolds brought another fine save from the keeper and Kevin Lawrence, Thirkle & Michael Vanes missed chances as Port piled on the pressure. Richard Young beat two players and curled the ball in and Lawrence set up Thirkle to make the final score 6-1.
