FALMOUTH TOWN 2-3 YATE TOWN

Table Toppers Yate Town won this close encounter with the odd goal in five having trailed twice in this Southern League encounter.

Kian Thomas opened the scoring for the home team on 7 minutes courtesy of a cross from Luke Barner. Yate then started to dominate and equalised 17 minutes later from James Byrne. However Falmouth went ahead again after 32 minutes, Thomas holding the ball up well before the ball was diverted to Luke Barner and the half finished at 2-1.

Yate upped their game again in the 2nd half and within 13 minutes they were level courtesy of a wicked deflection from a Will Christopher effort. Yate were not finished and took the lead on 76 minutes through Ross Stearn after a great chance for Falmouth’s Oscar Massey was not converted.

In the 6th minute of injury time, a free kick was won by Falmouth substitute Marcello Jones wide on the right. Tom Annear found Jones from the restart who hit a fierce shot from just inside the box against the Yate crossbar and Yate survived to register a hard fought victory in front of the large home support.
