Marazion Blues 4-2 St Just Combo/Reserves

Great game to start pre season with, a very good St Just side. Both teams played good football on the deck although the first half didn't really create many chances for either keeper to save. Marazion took the lead 5 mins before half time when Sanjay Vadgama curled a low free kick from 10 yards outside the box, around the wall. With the St Just keeper diving early the ball bounced over him, off the post and back into play where Steve Hunt tapped home from close range. 1-0 half time.

Second half we came out with a bang and from the St Just re start we intercepted a pass and after a couple of one, twos, Liam Mooney went around the keeper only to see his shot stopped just before it crossed the line. Thankfully Craig Rennard was there to score the rebound from a yard out. As St Just pushed forward we were catching them on the break and Matty Thomas scored the third when he got behind the St Just defence before rounding the keeper to slot home. St Just then reduced the deficit when James Burlingham, returning from his sabbatical in Australia, made contact with the St Just striker just inside the box. The player went down and a penalty was given. James had only just come on as a sub and left ten minutes later with a bad back!!!! Kevin Waite in goal saved the penalty but their player tapped in the rebound. Within minutes we restored our 3 goal advantage when again Matty got behind the defence and after rounding the keeper scored into the empty net. St Just completed the scoring late on.

A good performance against a decent team and with the squad we have this season we should hold our own after jumping up two divisions.
