Illogan v Hayle was bottom against top, but to be fair I know its early days and that doesn't really mean too much at the moment.

Both sides threw everything at it for sure!

After a goalless first-half, Illogan's skipper Steve Abbott-Smith scored about no more than 25 seconds after the restart. The Hayle keeper should have saved the shot, but they all count! The game continued to ebb and flow from one side attacking to the other, but what might have proved crucial was Hayle having an effort disallowed for offside. It looked close, but the lino was more in line than anyone else.

After that things got worse for the visitors with Jack Adams being rewarded for a determined run which ended with him getting the ball off the Hayle defence and slotting it wide of the advancing goally. From then on Illogan were able to see out the remaining quarter hour with not being too troubled and pick up their first win of the season at the third attempt.

Good to see some familiar Hayle faces at the game too. Especially Bob Butler - now the longest club servant (so he told me 😀👍) and for you Bob,  there will be the latest results pinned to the top of this thread each time for ease of viewing.

St Dennis 0 st Austell 5

A couple deflections and a penalty didn't help our cause but take nothing away from st Austell they r a good outfit n will win more than they'll lose,I'm personally happy with how our lads conducted themselves this evening no bad challenges as such n no moaning at linesmen or the ref,who for a young man had a good game,done everything by the book n only dished out 3 yellows for late tackles. Unsure of the goal scorers but I think 1 of them had 3 n the other lads can claim the deflections lol,good luck to st Austell for their season great bunch of lads.

REDRUTH UTD (0)  0

PENRYN  (4)  7       Jack Rapsey 2’ 61’    Ryan Reeve 15’ 84’    Harry Roberts 7’    Reggie May 28’    Jake Shaw 77’

ATT: 66

REF : Mr Kevin Knowles 10/10 Excellent as usual.

MOM: Jake Shaw (Penryn)

Penryn produced a ruthless first half hour at Clijah Croft to go to the top of the table on goal difference from Mullion who have also won their first 3 games. It took the visitors just 70 seconds to take the lead when the blistering pace of Ryan Reeve saw him cut in from the right but his shot was parried by home keeper James Issacs and fellow striker Jack Rapsey snapped up the finish from 6 yards. The lead was doubled 5 minutes later with an almost carbon copy when this time Reeve sprinted down the left and shot, this time Issacs block fell to Harry Roberts to lash in from 10 yards. On the 15 minute mark Reeve ripped the home defence apart once again running on to a through ball before rounding Issacs and rolling the ball into the net. To their credit Redruth moved Will Eva from right back to central defence to make a three and sat the full backs in making a virtual five man defence which stemmed the tide a little bit. Bradley Leivers uncharacteristically headed wide of the far post on 22 minutes before great work down the right saw Jake Shaw square the ball to Reggie May to make no mistake from close range for a four goal lead within 28 minutes. There were a few more half chances for Penryn with Issacs saving well with his feet off Reeve, Rapsey and Roberts (triple R gang)! before the break with Utd not really testing Penryn stand in keeper Dan Lord. The onslaught continued after the interval with the impressive Shaw fizzing a 30 yard bullet an inch wide of the post before it looked like Leivers got clipped on the ankle in the area on the hour mark but who am I to argue with Kev, one of my favourite refs and top bloke with it as well. How easy footy would be if they all reffed like him!? It mattered little as two minutes later a strong run down the right ended with Reggie May drilling a low cross for Rapsey who didn’t even have to break stride to smash home from 8 yards. Another Leivers header just went the wrong side of the post on 73 minutes before man of the match Shaw finished off a fine flowing five man move shooting across Issacs and into the far corner. Reeve joined Rapsey on a brace with the darkness setting in by cleverly flicking the ball just inside the far post and it was good to see him celebrate behind the goal with another legendary old Penryn striker Andy Stivey, what a finisher Stives was in his day! Did I ever tell you the true story bout the time me and Stives scored against Arsenal but lost 6-2!?!  🤔 Anyway there was still time for substitute Lewis Pellow to hit the inside of the post-in the 89th minute and it was hard to believe this was somewhat of a makeshift Penryn team tonight as well with Billy Williams outstanding in an unfamiliar centre back role alongside the always impressive captain Russell May. Luke Osborne was classy in the heart of midfield with Reeve and Rapsey a lively front two sharing 4 goals. Manager Harry Pope even rotated most of his players using his rolling subs well with Helston the visitors on Saturday and a tough old trip to Perranwell next tuesday. Another fabulous evenings entertainment for £2 in the Redruth tin that was going around. Like what the club have done with Clijah but it’s back to Bakes bowling green for the Penryn lads on Saturday 👍️ One little stat from tonight was there was a Lewis Pellow on the bench for both teams!! Remember that old song “there’s only two Lewis Pellows” 😂
