Barnstaple v Falmouth is the eye catching tie, but Hartpury Uni v unbeaten Clevedon looks pretty interesting as well. The students sit 3rd in their league, and have only lost 1 match, memories as well of them upsetting fancied Mousehole at Trungle in last season's Vase.

A good day for Cornish clubs as Buckland drop points being held to a 1-1 draw at home while Falmouth go through in the Vase.

St Blazey 3v2 Nailsea & Tickenham. Att.128

A game of two half's. Despite St Blazey taking the lead, Nailsea the much better side in the first half and led 1v2 at the break. 

Second half St Blazey grew into the game, carried more of a threat and looked to push forward with some better football being played. Clokey pounched on a mistake to slot home the equaliser and with both sides pushing for a winner, George Newton off the bench scored a late winner to seal all three points. Three home league wins on the trot and onto 20 points. St Blazey have now played exactly half their league games for the season. 

Thank you to Nailsea who were happy to travel with the pitch frosty this morning. Enjoy your evening in Newquay tonight. We look forward to the return trip next year. 

Falmouth at home next Saturday.

Should Buckland be doing better in the league? 
A fair few people predicted them to win the league at the start of the season but from the outside looking in it seems they’ve not been at it at all so far.

Another very good result for Falmouth Town. Can’t imagine too many will go away to Barnstaple and win.
