FALMOUTH TOWN 2-1 SHAFTESBURY

Falmouth Town finished off our first Southern League season with a 2-1 victory over Shaftesbury at Bickland Park after a manic week of football.

The kick off was delayed for two hours after Shaftesbury were delayed in traffic because of a serious road accident in Dorset. Thier late arrival didn’t seem to unsettle the visitors after they took the lead through Leighton Thomas on thirty-seven minutes. Shaftesbury held onto their lead and the first half finished 1-0 to the visitors.

Falmouth started the second half on the front foot and playing towards The Packet End, put the Shaftesbury goal under pressure. On forty-eight minutes Town’s pressure was rewarded when Rubin Wilson equalised to huge cheers from the Town fans. With both sides trying to find a winner, there was some entertaining and competitive play. It was Falmouth who broke the deadlock when Jack Bray-Evans found the back of the Shaftesbury net on seventy-seven minutes. Town held on for the remaining time to collect three hard earned points.

This result sees us finish ninth in the league table, which is a fantastic achievement at this level.

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.
