St Minver closed to within one point of taking over at the top of the Premier Division after beating Pelynt 9-0. Ed Green gave the hosts the lead with Ryan Pooley doubling the advantage on the half hour. Pooley then turned provider setting up Steve Wootton for the third before half time. Mike Kempthorne scored a fourth five minutes into the second half to put St Minver out of reach. A brilliant run and intelligent cutback by Christian Cleave allowed Pooley to hit his second before Pooley turned provider again, passing for Corey Cleave to hit the sixth. St Minver went on to punish a tiring visiting side. Christian Cleave scored from the spot and straight from the kick off Rob Green fired an eighth from outside the box. Another long-range strike from Corey Cleave completed the rout.

 

Relegated Callington Town held St Stephen goalless for the first half before goals from Craig Coad, Matt Bromhead, Joe Stone, Courtney Rowe and Matt Truscott after the break gave the visitors a 5-0 win.

 

North Petherwin were below par in the lead up to their KO Cup semi-final against St Dennis at Wadebridge on Wednesday evening. They faced Lostwithiel who travelled with a bare eleven. The visitors however, were worthy 2-1 winners. Jordan Cummings gave Lostwithiel an early lead. John Wallace scored for Petherwin in the 75th minute but a little later Petherwin conceded a penalty and Josh Cook scored the winner from the spot.

 

St Dennis picked up three important points towards the Division One title with a hard earned 2-1 win at Grampound. This was a close game but it was the home side that shaded the first half. They took the lead when Saints goalkeeper Stuart Bell brought down a Grampound attacker and Dean Dunn struck home the penalty kick. St Dennis equalised before half time. Some slack marking allowed a simple cross in the box and Mark Rowe was left alone to equalise. St Dennis shaded the second period and eventually got a vital winner through Scott Brown.

 

Leaders Veryan suffered a 4-2 defeat at second placed St Mawgan and now face the possibility that they could possibly drop out of the top two as those behind them catch up their matches. St Mawgan have played too many games and are unlikely to finish in a promotion place but for them this was a fantastic win. James Olsen, Stuart Harris and an Alex Bicknell brace led them to victory with Veryan replying through George Brown and Derrick Lucas.

 

The other side to gain an advantage from the day’s events were Gerrans & St Mawes United. They faced an on paper a fairly comfortable away trip to St Columb Major but the game proved troublesome with eventually the promotion chasers getting the only goal of the game through Keegan Lloyd.

 

Sticker beat St Dominick 3-2 in the day’s late kick off match. Brandon Pomeroy, Ben Rosevear and Joel Cockings scored for Sticker with Josh Searle getting both visiting goals in reply.

 

North Hill’s promotion charge in Division Two suffered a setback when held two all at home by St Breward. The home side were in quite an argumentative mood which did nothing to help them get the three points needed. They scored through Sam Smith and James Bloomfield with Martin Jago getting both St Breward goals in reply.

 

Boscastle didn’t slip up as they completed a double over neighbours Tintagel in eight days. The score again finished as 5-2 in Boscastle’s advantage with Martin Heal, Rob Heal, James Bosley, Jamie Burnett and Jack Farbrother getting a goal apiece. Tintagel replied through Adam Price and Craig Stollery.

 

St Cleer appear out of promotion contention at being held two all at home by next to bottom Lifton. Jordan Dennis and Charlie Coates scored for St Cleer. Lifton replied with goals from Tom Hancock and Darren Volz and still hold outside hopes of avoiding the drop after picking up this point.

 

Champions Godolphin Atlantic has certainly eased off as they were beaten 4-3 at home by Tregrehan Mills. With the title in the bag and a cup final to come the hosts didn’t have the required passion to beat determined rivals. Ben Colquhoun scored a brace and Lee Budge one for Godolphin. Mills won with a Dean Dingle brace and goals from Scott Best and Lewis Husband.

 

St Minver reserves are promoted from Division Three after an astonishing 8-0 win at third placed Calstock. Corrie Crook hit a hat trick with Adrian Ashton and Jason Northcott hitting a brace apiece. Steve Latham completed the scoring and they only need to avoid defeat in their last game to take the title.

 

Lanivet Inn were below their best but picked up three crucial promotion points to remain second with a 2-0 defeat of North Petherwin reserves. Dave Crawford scored the opener in the 20th minute but it was only after the visitors were reduced to ten men late on that Lanivet confirmed the win with Bradley Mills getting his first goal in men’s football.

 

Gorran still retain outside promotion hopes after thrashing Tregony 10-1. The visitor’s woeful seasons goes from bad to worse. Starting out with just nine men, one other arrived shortly after but with a man short throughout this was not a contest. Shane Kibell scored a hat trick, Paul Read a brace with the other home goals shared between Mike Brennan, Nick Parkyn, Dave Jones, Tom Guest and Andy Whatty.

 

Mike Rendle scored five goals as Pensilva thrashed High Street 10-2. The hosts were 5-2 up at the break and had a comfortable run to the finish line after the break. Liam Donaghy added a hat trick and Andy Cobb a brace for the hosts. High Street replied through Dayle Gilbert and Adam Patton.

 

Keiran Barrett scored all four goals for Delabole United in their 4-2 win Stoke Climsland. The home team replied through Jack Lowden and an own goal.

 

St Teath still cling on in Division Four after a two all draw at St Stephen reserves. This was a good competitive game with St Stephen taking the lead on 30 minutes through Rodd Rickard who got on the end of a Charlie Stone cross. St Teath drew level on 78 minutes from a corner with Jonny Strout heading home and then on 82 minutes St Teath were awarded a penalty when Kyle Wray brought a St Teath player down in the box and their goalkeeper Craig Thompson scored from the spot, leaving St Stephen 8 minutes to get an equaliser which they did on 87 minutes through Rickard when he controlled the ball and volleyed in from 8 yards. St Stephen tried to get a winner but left it too late so had to settle for a draw. 

 

Three clubs are fighting for two promotion places in Division Five. Lamerton Community remain on target for the title after a good 5-2 win at Southgate Seniors. Dan Behennah scored a hat trick with Paul Cowling and Steve Gibbings getting their other goals. Liam Cairns and Nathan Farrer replied for Southgate.

 

St Eval Spitfires remain second and were ruthless in a 6-0 win at Looe Town. Mike Truscott hit a hat trick with Lucasz Kulig, Jon Rosevear and Steve Masters completing the scoring.

 

Liskeard Athletic lie in wait in third place with games in hand over the top two and a home fixture against Lamerton to come. They beat Boscastle reserves 4-0 with goals from Orson De Rijke Thomas, Blake Penhaligon, Jake Hockin and an own goal.

 

Liam Rooney and Sam Harman both scored a brace as Lostwithiel reserves beat Week St Mary 6-1. Andy honey and Damian Boyle completed the home tally with Rob Pearce getting the visitors consolation.

North Petherwin 1 - 2 Lostwithiel

I decided to take the cross country scenic route to Brazzacott but flew past a crucial turning and arrived late missing Jordan Cummings' opening goal for Lostwithiel. The remainder of the first half was pretty scrappy but Lostwithiel just about deserved their half time lead.

Bad news at half time - the refreshments lady has retired, tea and cake no longer an option - gutted.

Petherwin came out much stronger after the break and applied constant pressure to the visiting defence with Jay Wallace equalising on the half hour. I think it may have been the same player a few minutes later that carelessly gave away a penalty. Joshua Cook stepped up and hammered home, the 'keeper did well to get a hand on it but only managed to tweak his shoulder in the process.

North Petherwin had a full squad and made good use of the repeated subs but Lostwithiel had a bare 11 and they had to dig deep in the heat to hold onto all three points. That old guy in goal for them kept them in it a few times !

Cheers Billy.

North Petherwin will have to find something extra on Wednesday night when they face St Dennis in the Knock Out Cup semi-final at Wadebridge (7.00pm).

Gorran 10 - 1 Tregony (H/T 5-0)

Tregony warmed up with nine men but played with ten throughout and it was always going to be tough at Bell Hill. Despite the scoreline, Tregony never gave up and scored a deserved consolation midway through the second half but in reality Gorran could easily have doubled their score. Good goalkeeping prevented them in the first period and poor finishing in the second kept the score to what it was.

It took 13 minutes for the deadlock to be broken and that was doubled on 19 minutes. The ball was tipped away by the hand of a defender but both sides managed to persuade the referee that the ball had already crossed the line and to keep the match as a contest, the lucky defender stayed on the pitch. I think it was a good common sense decision and everyone should be applauded that it kept to the spirit of the game.

Further first half goals followed in the 31st, 34th and 37th minutes.

Attacking the far goal in the second half, an area of the pitch outside the building was still wet and at times players and the ball got bogged down but if the nice weather keeps up, it'll dry before the next game there.

A sixth goal came after 51 minutes and the deserved consolation followed after 73 minutes. Even a change of goalkeeper couldn't half the Gorran goal flood but a seventh came with fifteen minutes remaining and that's how it stayed until the 85th minute when an eighth was added with nine and ten coming in the 87th and 88th.

It's never nice to see a team lose by so many but credit to Tregony for fulfilling the fixture and playing with the right spirit. Hopefully they can regroup in the summer and come back to Tregony teams of old for 2017/18.
