FALMOUTH TOWN 0-1 CINDERFORD TOWN

FALMOUTH TOWN 0-1 CINDERFORD TOWN

Falmouth Town fell to a defeat, as bottom club Cinderford Town emerged the winners in this mostly even clash at Bickland Park. No clear chances were created for either side until 22 minutes when Alex Knight missed a very good headed opportunity from in front of goal. Within a minute Falmouth’s Luke Barner missed with an overhead kick from an Oscar Massey cross. Massey was booked on 34 minutes for simulation when he appeared to have been barged off the ball in the box, with the crowd baying for a penalty. On 36 minutes, two balls over the top of the Falmouth defence were both not capitalised upon by Cinderford’s Alex Bonthron although Falmouth Keeper Morgan Coxhead came off his line well both times to unsettle the forward. The half finished with a Massey run at the visiting defence but his powerful shot cleared the bar and it was 0-0 at the break.

Nineteen minutes into the second half, and Cinderford’s Joshua Jones hit the bar from a speculative shot. With the game looking like a 0-0 draw, Cinderford struck the killer blow 10 minutes from time when Bonthron rose at the far post to head in after a great cross from the right touch-line. Falmouth made some changes but Cinderford survived and recorded a great win to aid their survival chances.

Falmouth Town overcame our fellow Southern League Div1(S) opponents Cinderford Town in front of a large crowd this afternoon in their first FA Trophy game since 1981. Cinderford Town started strongly causing problems for the Falmouth defence. However, a first half goal against the run of play on the stroke of half-time by Luke Brabyn sent Falmouth in at the break at 1-0 up. A further goal from Rubin Wilson after a defensive slip made it 2-0 part way through the second half and another last-minute goal on 91 minutes from Oscar Massey, saw us into the next round.
