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.
