FALMOUTH TOWN 2-1 EXMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town maintained their excellent home record this season in front of another large attendance, with an eventful and hard-fought win against high-flying Exmouth Town, who started the day in 2nd place in the league. The first-half ended goal-less which reflected the even nature of the game with neither side creating any clear-cut chances.

It was the hosts that struck first five minutes into the second half. Falmouth Striker Oscar Massey picked up the ball just inside the Exmouth half and outpaced the visiting defence to create a one-on-one with Phllips in the Exmouth goal, ending in a side-foot finish into the corner to make it 1-0. Ten minutes later, the game took another turn as Falmouth defender Harrisson Jewell was given a straight red card following a challenge and resulting skirmish involving an Exmouth forward. Falmouth could then only hold out for a further ten minutes as Callum Shipton equalised for the visitors.

Exmouth were in the ascendancy but it was Massey again who put Falmouth ahead on thirty-one minutes. Picking the ball up from deep, he out-sprinted the Exmouth defence and drove into the box, only to be brought down for a clear penalty. Massey picked himself up to despatch the penalty into the roof of the net to make it 2-1. Exmouth thought they had levelled it on ninety minutes, only for the assistant referee to intervene after a long consultation with the ref and Falmouth held on through eight minutes of injury time to claim the win to the rapturous applause of the home crowd.
