Padstow United 1 v 8 St Minver 1sts
Stunning performance in very wet and heavy conditions as Saints put Padstow through the mincer scoring 8 in this local North Cornwall derby!
We started very well and 10 minutes in and a Ryan Pooley cross is unfortunately diverted in to his own net by Minver old boy Dan Colwill for 1-0.
On 20 minutes Ryan Pooley is brought down in box and he picks himself up and converts for 2-0.
On 30 minutes and Ryan Pooley receives the ball turns sweetly on edge of the box and fires home in to bottom left corner for 3-0.
Half time: Padstow United 0 - 3 St Minver 1sts
A great 1st half performance and looking to continue the same in the 2nd half.
On 50 minutes and Steve Wootton was released down our left and finished well inside the near post for 4-0.
On the hour a sweeping ball from central defence by Ed Green freed Corey Cleave who finished well for 5-0.
On 65 minutes a swinging free kick from Steve Wootton is headed home well by Paul Menhinick for 6-0.
What a strike for 7-0 as Steve Wootton picks ball up deep in our midfield, runs forward and fires worldy in to top right corner! #takeabowson
Frustratingly a ghost free kick is awarded to Padstow on the edge of our box and they get consolation goal with a finish under the wall for 7-1.
We wrap up a great days work in the 89th minute as Callum Wilson is strong and frees Paul Menhinick who finishes well in to the top left corner for 8-1.
Full time: Padstow United 1 - 8 St Minver 1sts
A great win and performance from the lads on a wet and windy day in a keenly anticipated local derby. It was also the last game for the very popular Matt Cleave as he moves up to Leeds. We wish him the very best and thank him for excellent service being an integral part of our treble winning record breakers last season.
