Kilkhampton Res  0     Bude 11

 

 

Bude were expected to win this encounter and started strong scoring after 7 mins when a cross from the right saw Tommy Statton head back across the 6-yard box and Simon Chadwick stretched to volley in. Two Jason Ferrett corners saw Bude go three ahead with Kev Cornish heading home and Dan Balsdon scoring shortly after.  Statton made it 4 nil after 20 mins, and Gary Dinshaw scoring Bude’s fifth when Balsdon layed a ball in to the path of Dinshaw who cut inside from the right and his left foot strike nestled inside the near post.  Adam Cornish grabbed Budes sixth with a superb strike from 35 yards out which struck the underside of the bar and in.  Just before the half time whistle a Dinshaw diving header was disallowed for offside.  Kilk started the second half well but again were soon on the back foot after Bude’s Ferrett struck a sweet shot in to the far corner.  Jamie Hopcroft soon made it eight with his second of the weekend from the edge of the box.  Balsdon got his second with another well-taken goal and nearly had his hat trick when he smashed a shot off the crossbar.  Manager Clive ‘Clicker’ Cornish who was forced to came on at half time scored the tenth, a cross from the right saw Cornish leap like a salmon he head home for possibly his first goal in 20 years.  Kilks spirited side never gave up and still enjoyed the match but could only look on as Ferrett hit another volley in to the far top corner with minutes remaining.
