TOWN WIN THE A394 DERBY

SWPL Premier Division
HELSTON ATHLETIC 0 FALMOUTH TOWN 2

The third match of my holiday in Cornwall took me just up the road to Helston Athletic FC who hosted local rivals Falmout Town in a closely contested Derby match. Before kick off I spoke with the referees assessor and was invited in to the committee room at half time by the kind Helston Chairman. 

For a first the game was played in lovely sunshine and before the match the referee did a late inspection of the pitch and quite rightly allowed the game to go ahead. I then bumped in to Neil Laughlin and his new wife who got married on Saturday and their lad from Belper in Derbyshire.

From kick off, both teams created chances in a very even match, until the visitors began to step up their game and on 25 minutes, they were awarded a penalty, but it was poorly taken and the home keeper pushed it away to safety.

This was a warning sign for the homesters as in the next Falmouth attack they took the lead, when a long ball over the top, saw ROB WEARE pounce on to it and lob the outcoming keeper to give his side the lead.

Falmouth pushed forward whilst Helston played on the break to keep the game entertaining.

The Second Half saw Athletic push forward but in the 54th minute, they were caught out with a cross from the left and DAVE BROGLINO scopping low to dive and head home to double his Town;s advantage.

Helston tried to push on but the final ball and good defending by the away side kept their lead in tact.

The 3 officials I felt all had a good game
