League Match

Bude 2     V    Callington 2

Bude gained their first point of the season but with a great chance to get all three points  produced a poor display against an inexperienced but determined Callington side. Bude took the lead midway through the half when winger Stevie Box was brought down in the box, Dan Balsdon slotted the resulting penalty kick in to the corner.  Balsdon soon grabbed his second when his perseverance robbed the defender and keeper of the ball with a sliding shot.  Bude should have killed the game off with various chances, including Stevie Box striking the post from the edge of the box.  Callington pulled a goal back early in the second half, a ball pumped forward saw defender Gary Hodgson head forward straight in to striker Shane Richards chest who ran on to slot past keeper Warburton.  Callington started a spell of domination and soon equalised, Darren Benfield picked the ball up unmarked in the middle of the field, turned, looked up and smashed a 35 yard strike straight in to the top right hand corner,  Bude rode out further pressure and towards the end of the game again started creating further chances against the visiting team but failed to make anything count.
