Duchy Premier League
Polperro 0
Bude 2 With players
out Bude were forced to make changes to the team with manager Clive
Cornish delighted he could finally pick himself, but it had the desired
effect as they beat the current league champions. Both teams worked
hard in the first half to play 'proper' football, few chances were created
from both sides, Bude keeper Matt Warburton was called upon a couple of
times to make important saves. Bude took the lead shortly in the
second half, the ball fell in the Polperro box and Jamie Hopcroft struck
from 12 yards. Bude continued to press the home side and earned a
penalty when a defender handled in the area. Dan Balsdon smashed the
ball down the middle to go two ahead. Although Polperro pushed an
extra man forward and looked dangerous from the odd corner, Bude held out,
defended well and towards the end of the game were well on top and created
a number of chances to increase the lead, but the Polperro keeper made
some superb saves to keep them in the game, Bude finally went away
happy with the 3 points in the bag. |
