After the disappointment of not getting to a match on Saturday due the ref not being available for the Pelynt match, it was service at normal at The Mill, the home of Torpoint Athletic FC. As we pulled on to the Car Park, we parked next to groundhopper Lee Vaughan and his wife who had also come to attend this match.
In to the club house I ventured to meet Club Sec & Programme Editor Rob Morris and had a chat with him. He got mea programme to which he can be very proud of, it was 56 pages and excellent value at just £1. I then had a chat with Elburton Villa's Trev Higgins.
Towards kick off time, it was time to get a cuppa, when I bumped in to Torpoint's Chairman who invited me for hospitality at half time in the club house, a big thankyou for the cuppa.
The game kicked off and both sides seemed very much matched, but chances were kept to a minimum and both goalkeepers were hardly called in to action with neigher of them making a save in the First half.
After 30 minutes, a free kick was drilled in to the Elburton penalty area which was met by the head of DAVE SMITH wich flashed in to the net to give the homesters the lead.
The Second Half was played in the same vein and both teams tried to play the ball along the ground and not hoof it up the pitch and both should take credit from this. The visitors should have been on equal terms just past the hour when they split the home defence bit the Athletic keeper was equal to the forwards attempt with a excellent stop.
Both teams tried to press forward and create chances but the score remained the same.
