There no doubt is a maximum allowed, but don't think it'll be exceeded!

Penryn player down injured for a couple minutes so gave me a quick chance to have a count. 👍 Always got me clicker in me pocket at football mate 😁👍⚽️

Penryn goals scored by young Rapsey and Ryan Reeves

[RAPPO]

Great game of football I thought Skinner 👍⚽️ Both keepers outstanding! Penryn scoring after 90 seconds (well done son 🙌🏽) then Polperro came storming back and Jason Peters had to make 3 one on one saves to keep the lead intact inside the first 20 minutes. The following 25 minutes turned into the Mike Rickard show! He kept out efforts mostly low and at full stretch from Reevey, Keegan, Shawsy, Morgan and a Rappo free kick all before half time! He carried this on after the break making save after save including a Reevey penalty before an exquisite drilled cross from Brad Leivers saw Reevey get his deserved goal about 20 minutes from time. Thought Penryn were excellent, credit to Popey who was missing a few of his big players as well. Great team performance from Penryn, can’t think of one player that didn’t have a great game on the day. Full credit to Polperro who were really impressive to watch, very good at what they do, bags of pace in the side, think Penryns slick football won the day though. Without those two exceptional keepers the score would have been about 8-5!!!  Plenty of chances created and one of the best finals ive seen for a few years. Well done to all involved especially Wendron for a superb venue and Steve at the SPL for getting the lads back out on the pitch after the first 2 seasons of the league have been ruined and organising a good tournament for all the teams. 
 

PENRYN   (1)  2       Rapsey 2’  Reeve 71’

POLPERRO  (0) 0

ATT:  189

REF: Marc Rose  9/10  Got virtually everything spot on, tried to play advantage when possible.

MOM:  Mike Rickard (Polperro).  Could have chosen 4/5 Penryn players easily but Mike had the game of his life to keep it to just 2 goals!! 👏🏼⚽️

Pretty fair summary, congrats to Penryn, better side on the day. We needed to take one of those 3 early chances and didn’t.
