Cornwall Senior Cup Match

Bude  5     St Ives 1

St Ives made the long trip up to Broadclose for this Cornwall Senior cup 1st round tie and saw themselves go a goal behind after 20 mins when striker Shane Looker was brought down on the edge of the box, the linesman confirmed it was inside the area which the St.Ives players were livid about.  Norman Foster stepped up and tucked the spot kick away.  Bude then went two nil up, some superb quick passing saw the ball flicked on the edge of the box in to Tommy Statton's path and he unselfishly squared the ball to Stevie Box who had a simple tap in from yards out although he nearly managed to put it over the bar.  St.Ives continuously made the Bude back line work and hit the woodwork twice during the half and on another day it could easily have been them going in at half time two nil to the good.  In the second half St.Ives were becoming more and more frustrated which was showing with some late tackles creeping in to their game.  Statton made it three nil on the hour when Foster broke through, shot past the keeper, hit the post and Statton scored the rebound with a well taken strike.  A St.Ives player then lost his rag and was shown red after abusive language towards the linesman.  Bude capitalised with the extra man and saw two more goals go in, Foster grabbing his second nutmegging the keeper and soon after Looker grabbed Budes' fifth again putting the ball through the keepers legs.  St.Ives grabbed a consolation goal with  minutes remaining, but it was Bude defender Wayne Cornish who grabbed his first of the season, turning the ball in to his own goal after putting in a last ditch tackle on a striker.
