ATLANTIC SEE THROUGH THE TOWN MIST

DUCHY LEAGUE

Division One

LOOE TOWN FC 1 GODOLPHIN ATLANTIC FC 4

I had planned to go to Nanpean Rovers today but altered my plans and headed to the Barbican, the home of Looe Town FC. It had been very misty from the sea all morning and on arrival it was even worse. I was greeted by the Looe Chairman and the manager. At kick off time, the ref began looking down the pitch at kick off time, I thought he was going to order everyone back to the changing rooms, but he gave the game a chance to go ahead.

Looe began on the front foot and after 10 minutes, a shot from the left wing was heading goal bound before the Athletic keeper kept it abay at full stretch.(see pic above)

The visitors began to come move in to the game and it seemed we had 2 even teams here on display, but after 25 minutes, there was a little scuffle between a few players and this seemed to effect Looe as they lost concentration and from the resulting free kick a ball was played deep in to the area and Godolphin had taken the lead. 

Looe pressed forward but couldnt find away through the away defence or test the visiting keeper at this stage and just before half time, the visitors doubled their lead.

The homesters came out more brighter in the Second Half and the weather also became brighter with the sun breaking through. Again in the 63rd minute, the away keeper was called in to action with a shot turned round the post, but Looe did get a goal back after 72 minutes.

Maybe a fight back was on for Looe, but Godolphin didnt agree as they re-gained their 2 goal advantage on 75 minutes. A few subs were now made and the points looked in the bag for the visitors at this stage and they were when the visitors made it 4-1 on 90 minutes.

Looe Town FC are a lovely club run by friendly people and well worthy of a visit if you are in the area.
