Penryn 3, Penzance 3

[Guest Black&White]

Penryn Athletic 3, Penzance 3

Penryn came from behind three times to gain a draw from a cracking end to end game at Kernick.

Nick Pugliese put the visitors ahead after 15 minutes, only for Penryn to equalise almost immediately through Dan Stidwell.

Liam Devine headed Penzance back into the lead after 34 minutes, but Penryn levelled again through captain Pete Davey, who headed in Will Scoley's corner to make it 2-2 at half-time.

The outstanding Pugliese put Penzance back in front on 56 minutes when he curled in a superb shot into the top right corner after some good work down the left by Sean McMahon, who came into the side in place of the injured Steve Burt and showed up well in midfield.

Chances continued to fall at both ends, but it was Penryn who managed to convert one of theirs when the ball was bundled in at the far post after the lively Matt Drummond had latched on to a superb ball from Dean Harris, who was in excellent form for the home side.

Wayne Quinn was also in great form in midfield for Penzance and he shot just wide in the closing stages, as did Stidwell who had two good chances to snatch the points late on, but in the end a point apiece was a fair result from a game which could easily have gone either way.
