Two own goals won it for Town in what proved to be a tough match at a wet and muddy Bickland Park.    The heavy conditions were a hindrance to Falmouth’s free flowing game and clear cut chances were difficult to come by.

Highlights of the game proved to be a stunning save by Josh Colwill from Ian Hodges and an equally stunning own goal from Adam Sleep.  The Camels defender finished one of Town’s best moves of the game by hammering the ball past his own keeper to give Town a 2-0 lead.

Earlier Dan Green’s corner resulted in Leighton Carhart putting the ball into his own net.

The game ended anxiously for Town supporters  as  Camelford pushed strongly for an equaliser in the last few minutes after a late Keystone Kop moment  led to Josh Insley tapping into an empty net.

Well done to Town and stand-in manager Rob Green.  A tricky game but a deserved three points.

Report

Valiant Town’s  FA Vase run has come to an end in the 3rd round following a close defeat at Western League leaders Willand Rovers.  The home side went into half-time two goals up but after 54 minutes Ian Hodges finished a fine Falmouth move to get Town back into the tie.  Try as they might,  including hitting the woodwork,  Alan Carey’s team couldn’t get an equaliser against a side that hadn’t conceded a goal in ten hours of football before this match.

Great effort from Town.   Report.
