Bude 1     Lanreath 3

 

Bude had a good first half playing the better football but couldn’t capitalise on good chances against top of the table Lanreath.  Tommy Statton and Dan Balsdon both coming close. The best chance probably came after 40 mins when Statton broke down the right and put a cross in to the box, Simon Chadwick stretched to put a shot over the bar. Lanreath main chance of the half came just before half time from a corner.  The ball was floated across and Budes keeper Matt Warburton pulled off a great save from a close range header.  Lanreath took the lead after an hour, a free kick on the left saw the ball fall to Heath Lewis who fired a shot from an acute angle in to the far top corner.  Bude levelled after 70 mins, when Chadwick won a penalty after being brought down in the box.  Balsdon put the keeper the wrong way.  Bude lost the match in the last 10 mins after a lack of concentration, Lanreath went ahead again in the 80^th min, Nick Baillee got in behind the defence and slotted the ball past the home keeper.  As Bude pushed up Lanreath stretched the lead, a long ball played down the middle over the defence saw Steve Crumpler race through and lob Warburton as he came out to stop the attack and settle the match.
