yes mate, we played very well for first 40mins went 3-0 up, sloppy mistake before ht and a slow start 2nd half made it interesting.

[Boxy]

Nanpean 1 – 1 Looe Town 1^st

A strong start for Nanpean who obviously wanted to show Looe they meant business. For the first 10 minutes they controlled most of the game, but Looe then found their momentum and matched Nanpean. Both teams had chances, but the first goal came from a corner for Looe on the 43^rd minute. Jacob Owen putting in a cross from the left side corner, in to the 6-yard box. The cross was meet by Philippos Kombostiotis, who headed it in.

The second half kick off and this time started with both teams matching each other. Nanpean had a couple of chances and on the 70^th minute, they scored to make it 1-1. Looe too had chances and at one point scored to make it 2-1. Unfortunately the Referee blew and award us a free kick just out side the box towards the right corner flag. No advantage given and the goal disallowed. Form the free kick Looe tried to a play the ball back in to the box but was defended well by Nanpean.

Nanpean had a couple of key players in their No:3. He tried to break down our play as much as he could and looked to play an advancing ball on most occasions. Their No:7, playing the forward role was always testing our centre back Billy Chamberlain. Who we game MOM too for keeping no:7 at bay. Not sure of the players number but their right winger was good and had put a few balls in across the 6 yard line and causing us issues.

No doubt the home fixture will be just as interesting and a game worthy of watching.

Players – Ryan Cooke, Kieran Hemming, Jordan Puckey, Billy Chamberlain, Teddy Haffenden, Philippo Kombostoitis, Matt Steed, Jack Woollett, Sol Phillips, Archie Sweeney, Cameron Patterson.

Subs – Dan Oliver, Jacob Owen, Barny Stephenson, Josh Doney

Goal Philippos Kombostiotis

[Foul Throw 3]

St Newlyn East 1 - 1 Torpoint Athletic 

Torpoint goalscorer: Ryan Warren.

Lineup: Jackson, Bark, WhiteJ, Pearce, Burns, Cotter, Rowe, Brown, Easterbrook, Warren, Hicks.

Subs: Hussey, Northcott, Bartolini, WhiteS. Unused: Rio Driver.

Torrential rain on the drive along the A30 made me think we might be wasting the journey, but once we arrived the rain stopped and some sun appeared. Luckily for us SNE is probably the best pitch in the league outside The Mill and Blaise Park. Hopefully not too much repair work needed after the game.

Quite an uneventful first half really. The defence of both sides was predominantly on top, with SNE's midfield winning that battle. A few set pieces for both sides caused some difficulty but no one could break the deadlock. Very late in the half we finally created a good chance with Hicks playing a perfect pass into Easterbrook's run, whose low left footed effort came back off the post for Ryan Warren to control the rebound and put away around 43mins. A just reward for his improving form and fitness after breaking his foot back in October for our u18s.

HT was pretty much a criticism of our quality and appetite. We weren't winning many of the midfield battles with SNE winning the majority of 2nd balls. And our quality into the front 3 was lacking. That did improve a little in the 2nd half. Early on after the restart the dangerous Easterbrook was fouled inside the box, and Hussey put the penalty away only for the referee to order a retake due to encroachment. The retake was put in the same spot but Prentice in goal made a strong save to keep the score at 0-1. 

Another set piece was the next threat, with Zak Pearce volleying whiskers wide when at full stretch. Next Easterbrook was again the catalyst and won his 4th penalty in 2 games. But again Prentice made a fine save. 3 penalty misses in 2 games and Saturday's 2 killed us as being 2 or 3-0 up would've given us a nice cushion as we have been defending pretty well lately.

This spurred SNE on and around 75mins Daniel Ball scored from at least 25yards, smashing in an unstoppable effort and leaving Jackson no chance. A frustrating one as he'd had acres to drive into and far too much time and space to line it up. This wasn't SNE's only decent effort of the half and 2-3 times Jackson was forced into some good saves, one in particularly a strong parry over the bar from a fierce effort.

1-1 FT. A few weeks ago I would've taken a draw at SNE as they're a decent side and can see why they're in the upper part of the league. Having missed 2 penalties at 1-0 up it does feel like 2 points dropped but no need to beat ourselves up as it's a good point in tricky conditions. Onto tomorrow night where we host Roche at The Mill weather permitting.

Great report as always Callum.

Think both teams will probably be disappointed not to win - 2 great saves from the spot from Prento for us which were key moments at that stage of the game. 

Owen London should have opened the scoring for us half way through the first half when he rattled the crossbar from the edge of the box with the goal at his mercy and he was frustrated in the last 10 minutes when he smashed one against the post which could have won it at the end.

Great battle between Darren Hicks and our skipper Jack Thompson. 

Good luck in the League Cup final and many thanks for sweeping changing room.
