November 12th - Falmouth Town AFC

DIDCOT TOWN 3-2 FALMOUTH TOWN

Falmouth Town returned home empty handed after the 519 mile round trip to Didcot Town on Tuesday, November 12th. It started well for Falmouth who went ahead in the 16th minute through Bradley Leivers, after some great attacking play. However the lead lasted only two minutes before Didcot found an equaliser through Jenson Wright. Bouyed by this, the hosts took the lead through Luke Carnell on 26 minutes from a corner. Falmouth Town continued to press forward, with Falmouth denied by two clearances and a third shot hitting the top of the crossbar. The half ended 2-1 to the hosts, but not before the Didcot No:10, Jenson Wright earned a yellow card for fouling Oscar Massey.

The second half started with Falmouth enjoying some sustained possession, but were unable to break down Didcot’s defence. This was followed by some end to end football with both teams having chances. Falmouth made a double substituion with Jarod Sims & Luke Barner making way for Cam Hutchison & Olly Walker. It was on 83 minutes, when Olly Walker got on the end of a long pass, to set up Oscar Massey for the equaliser. Another substitution saw Rubin Wilson come on for Luke Brabyn. In the last minutes of normal time, Falmouth earned a free kick about 25 yards out, but Andy Elcock’s shot was denied by the croosbar. It was in the second minute of injury time when Jenson Wright got into the box and finished low under our keeper to win the match. The ‘Man of the Match’ award goes to Luke Brabyn.

We now turn our attention to Saturday, when we travel to Cribbs in Bristol, in search of those three points.

Thanks to Rock & Sean for the updates.
