Melksham Town - Falmouth Town AFC

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.
