Another magnificent cup win at Kimberley Stadium saw Town move into the semi-finals of the Cornwall Senior Cup.    Ian Hodges,  who had missed the previous three meetings between the clubs this season,  scored the opener  and Saltash defender Clark deflected a Karl Turner free kick past his own keeper to give Town a well deserved 2-0 lead at the break.

Hodges made it 3-0 just after half-time with an excellent diving header from another Turner free kick.    The Ashes never gave up but there was no way past Jason Chapman as the Famouth defence and Town kept a clean sheet  for the third consecutive  match.

Report

Falmouth Town’s injury  revenged squad pulled off a superb victory at Launceston to complete the double over the league leaders.   Town; without captain fantastic Mark Vercesi, Ian Hodges, Dan Magee, Ross Pope,(and Shane White has joined Hicks in leaving the club),  fully deserved to take the three points .

Reserve  skipper Adam Pryor and striker Nathan McIntosh were  drafted into the squad, and Kevin Hill made his second appearance of the season.    Add to that  new signing Aiden Way at right back and  the Town side had an unfamiliar look to it.   You wouldn’t have known it though as  Falmouth thoroughly deserved the victory.

Karl Turner opened the scoring in the first half,  after good work from McIntosh and Drummond, and stand in skipper Matt Drummond completed the scoring on the hour.  McIntosh was brought  down for a penalty soon after but the less said about Drummo’s penalty the better. 

Great win for Town.

Report

Town boss Alan Carey said he expected a ‘positive reaction’ following the Saltash no-show and he can’t have been disappointed as Town notched up their first ever home SWPL victory against Torpoint.   The match was all but won by half-time as goals by Jamie Devine, Mark Vercesi and Matt Drummond gave Falmouth a 3-0 lead at the break.    Some great second half goalkeeping kept the score down as Town cruised to the three points.
