Gulval Res 1 - 0 Perranporth 3rds
Scorers: Richard James
Right from the kick-off, Gulval forced a throw wide on the right, and Terry "Delap" No Balls launched the ball shaped missile right into the mixer where the Perran defenders and goalie watched it land on Trickies head. One nil. Things were pretty even after that, both teams at times playing football on a pitch that tried to prevent the short passing game. Phil Harvey had a good shot from the edge of the area well saved by the Perran keeper, and at the other end, Ben Reeve saved at full stretch as the Perran attack broke down the middle and shot well from just inside the box. After half time, Gulval were looking right into the sun, making it awkward for the defenders. Perran pressed well, and kept the Gulval defense on their toes. To be honest, there were not really that many goal attempts, as each team battled well and effectively cancelled eachother out! With 10 minutes left, Perran broke out of midfield, and a lob over the advancing keeper saw the ball bounce inches wide. At the other end, Gulval threatened but chances were thin on the ground and eventually the referee blew up. Phew, decent 3 points for the home team to keep promotion hopes right on track!!
. Anyway, that seemed to kick us in to gear, Gringo harvey picked up the ball on the edge of the box to calmly place the ball in to the bottom corner off the post. 1-1
