This was by far a much better performance by Falmouth, they worked as a team, wanting to produce a result, & played well for the whole of the 90 minutes,If I wanted to pick out the player of the match it would have to be Andy Bowker, he never stopped runing for the whole of the match, he was everywhere,

Newton A S, worked hard but they lacked good controlled Football, running fast, & kicking the ball forward but they were well held by Towns defence, & really did not look like scoring,

So keep it up town

Hammers :c:
