ST LUKES CUP V BARNSTAPLE TOWN

"EARLY EXIT FROM THE CUP"

A poor crowd saw us take a bow out of the cup, at the hands of

Western Premier "Barnstaple Town". But we were no way second

best in the way we played. I thought we matched them in all areas

of the game. To go in on the break one nil down, was their piece of luck. Second half we had them pegged on the back-foot for long periods. It was the skin of their teeth that they kept us out. Time and time again they had to clear the ball inches from the line. But just when I thought we had them going, we gave away a silly tackle in the box. From the spot "Tom Blackler" got a touch but not enough to save. 2-0 down it was now going to be "uphill". We battled on , but the run of the ball was unkind to us on the night. Mark my words, they left "Bolitho Park" knowing they had been in a cup-tie ??.
