FALMOUTH TOWN 0-1 MELKSHAM TOWN

FALMOUTH TOWN 0-1 MELKSHAM TOWN

Falmouth Town slipped to a narrow 1-0 defeat in a very even Southern Leauge encounter, where it was visitors Melksham Town who emerged victorious with a goal in the last couple of minutes being the difference between the two sides.

Falmouth were on top in the first half with some great build-up play and on 30 minutes, a mistake at the back from Melksham let in Falmouth’s Luke Barner. Carrying the ball from near the halfway line, and with only the keeper to beat, he lifted his effort over the bar and the half finished goal-less.

The 2nd half saw a bit more pressure from Melksham but it looked like Falmouth would hold on, only for them to concede a free kick from outside the box. A fierce strike from Jake Andrews resisted a hand from Morgan Coxhead in the Falmouth goal and flew into the top corner to seal the win for Melksham, when a draw would have been the fairer result.

FALMOUTH TOWN 2-2 MALVERN TOWN

FALMOUTH TOWN 2-2 MALVERN TOWN

Falmouth Town gained a very well earned point tonight in our Southern League match against a well organised Malvern Town.

The first half was a fairly even affair with both sides probing each others goal but not taking their chances. After a scrappy first forty-five minutes, the teams went in at the break with the score at 0-0.

The second half started lively with both teams creating chances, but it was Malvern who broke the deadlock on 48 minutes with a Sam Clark header from a corner. With the score at 1-0, Malvern began to assert their authority. Town kept battling and Rubin Wilson made a couple of threatening moves into the Malvern box, but to no avail. On 81 minutes, Luke Payne looked to have secured the three points for Malvern when he scored a superb goal. However, there were more twists in this tale, and it was Town’s Luke Barner who was on form to grab one back just three minutes later. With the score at 2-1 to the visitors and the game into injury time, it was the turn of Andreas Calleja-Stayne to get on the score sheet and secure a valuable point for Falmouth.

FALMOUTH TOWN 1-2 EVESHAM UNITED

Falmouth Town went down to a 2-1 home defeat to a very good Evesham United in the Southern League this afternoon.

On 31 minutes Eveham went further ahead from a Levi Steele penalty after Harrison Jewell foul. The penalty was hit low to Coxhead’s right despite him getting a hand to it.

In the second half, Falmouth were the better side with lots of corners won, but Evesham defended well and despite constant pressure, the away side held out for an important victory in their bid for promotion.
