Cornwall Combination League
LUDGVAN FC 3 FALMOUTH TOWN RESERVES 1
Admission £2
Att: 48
After a afternoon to the
Lizard, we popped in to look at Lizard Argyle FC and then travelled just up the
road to Mullion FC and was greeted by their committee, as they had a evening
kick off, but we needed to ventured back closer to the holiday site we are
staying at as Shawn was a bit tired. My first choice was Perranwell v
Carharrack but as Id seen the visitors at the weekend, I don’t like to watch a
team twice in a matter of days.
After a phone call to
friendly Sue Cook to confirm that Ludgvan’s game was on, we headed there. On
arrival, we watched some kids having a training session, so after 20 minutes,
got out the car and asked a lady if that’s where the adult team played and she
replied that I was at the wrong ground, it was next door, a ground they shared
with the cricket.
Ludgvan FC are doing very
well this season sitting at the top of the Cornwall Combination League by nine
points at the start of tonights game, but like everywhere in the Country they
still have a lot of games to be played.
I met Sue and paid my £2
admission and made my way down to the side off the pitch ready for the kick
off. The homesters began the game brightly and had quite a few half chances
whilst the away side played on the break.
Just on the 30 minute mark,
Ludgvan broke the deadlock when top scorer GERAN JAMES stroked the ball home. A
minute later saw a bit of confusion, when a Ludgvan corner from the right was
met by the head of a home player that struck the bar and rattled the net and
bounced out, the Ludgvan players celebrated whilst the opponents linesman put
his flag up, the referee couldn’t see if the ball had crossed the line, whilst
the away linesman said he couldn’t be sure, so the goal was disallowed to the
frustration of all the home faithful.
As the game was headed to
half time and I was looking forward to my half time cuppa, a good movee by the
home team saw GERAN JAMES hit home from 25 yards to double his sides advantge.
At half time, I headed up to
the clubhouse and asked for a cuppa and the lady said it was free, but I
chucked a quid in to the clubs kitty anyway to support this friendly club.
After the break, Falmouth
began to play better and forced Ludgvan to defend a lot more and this time it
was the home side;s turn to play on the counter.
On 68 minutes, the visitors
were back in the game when OLI WALKER hit a low shot in to the corner of the
net to make it 2-1. Falmouth now had their best spell in the game and with
minutes to go, the Ludgvan keeper had to be on his guard when a low shot was
heading for his far corner to which he was equal to.
In the 89th
minute, Ludgvan sealed the points when JACK RAMSEY scored to send the majority
of the 48 crowd home happy.
