Willand made their way down to the tip of Cornwall on Saturday to take on Mousehole once again at Trungle Parc. The last meeting between the two ended up with the rovers victorious in a replay of the FA Cup after the two clubs drew the first meeting 2-2.
A quick start from Mousehole as their number 4 Ryan Barrett powers his shot past George Burton. And it’s another for Mousehole within the first 10 minutes as a quick counter comes and number 10 Mitchell curls his shot into the top right-hand corner.
A shot from long ranges comes in from the Mousehole midfielder and goalkeeper George Burton parried the ball out for the corner. And it’s Mousehole again to make it 3-0 with their number 10 again to make a brace for himself.
A brilliant save from the corner from George as he guesses one way but gets it the wrong way but he can scramble down to the other side of the net to parry away from the mousehole attacker and out for a corner. Ross Edwards lost the ball just outside the penalty area which meant that Mousehole was through on goal and looked more likely than not to score but Josh Searle made a goal-stopping tackle and George followed up from it with a big stop to keep the score 3-0.
Half-time where the hosts are up 3-0 with a lot of downsides from the half as we have not looked great.
Within 10 minutes of the start of the second half of the game number 19 Oscar Massey scored a powerful finish into the roof of the net and way out of reach of George Burton who was glued in place. A good chance from rovers as Phil Mendonca wins the ball back off of the mousehole fullback and crosses the ball for Harley Sneap who can’t get enough in the last touch to take it goal-bound.
Full time and a loss 4-0 away deep in the Cornish country a few miles from the land end.
