[Foul Throw 3]

Torpoint 4 - 2 St Teath

Scorers: Easterbrook2, WestallC2. 

Lineup: WestallM, Bartolini, WhiteJ, WhiteS, Hussey, Cotter, Rowe, Northcott, Blair, WestallC, Easterbrook.

Subs: Charman, Bays. Unused: Jackson.

Our 2nd 4-2 victory in 2 games, but could have been far more goals for, in particular the first half. A thinner squad than usual, but still a strong starting XI and no room for excuses.

We came out of the blocks quickly and raced into a 2-0 lead inside 13minutes. First, WestallC played in Easterbrook who shot low to the keeper's right, hitting the post before going in. Our 2nd was a carbon copy, this time Easterbrook putting WestallC through to finish from almost the same spot. The rest of the half was chance after chance with some lovely link up play from Northcott, Blair and WestallC in particular, with Easterbrook choosing to miss the target a few times. The keeper made two smart saves down low from 20yd efforts, but misses from inside 18yds could've and should've extended the lead. As the half grew on, St Teath did come into it a lot more and Edwards and another had rasping drives narrowly off target for a wake up call. Edwards and their no.7 clearly have ability, but we managed to go into HT 2-0 up.

Bit of a wake up call required and a demand to hit the target. 47th min, a Bartolini cross found Easterbrook to finish LOW into the bottom corner. I thought this would be enough to dampen any halftime rejuvenation from St Teath and the floodgates would open. But the next goal was a St Teath corner which went directly into the net. The corner shouldn't have been given as the forward pressuring the initial ball came back from miles offside, but the flag was ignored. No excuse to not be switched on to clear the corner that came in though. Our 4th was WestallC's turn to get the brace around the 70th min, again assisted by Easterbrook. From then on I'd say we were a little disappointing. The shape became disjointed and a decline in application lessened our control on the game. St Teath pulled another one back late on, with another corner finding the head of Edwards. 2 set piece goals conceded isn't really very pleasing either.

But another win on the board to make it 7 in a row since a January defeat. Lots of games coming up in April with a huge clash next week where we welcome St Minver, seeking to reverse the result at their place way way back in August. 6 cup finals left!

[St Newlyn East AFC]

St Newlyn East 3-0 St Cleer

Newlyn were good value for their win in our last home game of the season. A first half strike from Martyn Probert separated the sides at the break but Elliot Powell and Lucas Moses should have both added to the total but missed from close range. 

The introduction of Dan Woodgate and Ross London at half time gave Newlyn further attacking threat and the two combined to allow London to fire high past the St Cleer keeper to double Newlyn’s advantage just 3 minutes after the re start. London should have added to his tally but showed his right foot isn’t the same as his magic wand of a left with a tame shot in to the visiting keeper’s arms who was having a fine game with some important saves. 

St Cleer rattled Newlyn’s crossbar with a header off a corner but the home side made sure of the win when Martyn Probert let fly from 25 yards to burst the net for Newlyn’s 3rd on 78 mins. 

Good luck to St Cleer for the rest of the season and their plans for the future.
