October 19th - Falmouth Town AFC

FALMOUTH TOWN 0-3 BASHLEY

Falmouth Town could not maintain their excellent home record in their first season at this level with a loss against visitors Bashley having already suffered a 2-1 loss away to them earlier in the season. Unfortunately Falmouth conceded in the 3rd minute when Bashley captain Stephen Walker rose at the far post from a free-kick and headed it low to Morgan Coxhead’s left and just inside the post. On 28 minutes, Bashley went further ahead with Walker scoring another header, this time from a corner from the left. Bashley scored again in the 3rd minute of injury time from Wagstaffe after a defensive error to make it 3-0 at half-time.
Bashley went down to 10 men after 28 minutes of the secondnd-half with Connor Whitely being punished after a strike to the head of Town captain Tom Annear. A further red card was brandished in added time with a Bashley substitute again felling Annear with a late challenge resulting in a further head injury but the score remained at 3-0 and Bashley look contenders for the play-offs. We go again this coming Tuesday when we entertain Bideford, more details soon.
