League Match
Bude Town 7 Polperro 1
Budes final league game of
the season saw them needing to take all 3 points to gain promotion and a
nervy start to the game saw them go one behind inside the first five
minutes. Zak Davey put in Rocky Moon who smashed a shot from just inside
the box past keeper Gary Dinshaw. Bude slowly got in to the game and
equalized after 25 minutes. A Herbie Goodgroves free kick from the right
picked out Dan Starkey at the back post who headed back across goal and
Gary Hodgson arrived to volley in from close range. Bude took the
lead right on half time, another Goodgroves free kick just outside the box
was floated in to the box, Polperro defender Jay Chard under pressure,
chested the ball back past his own keeper. Bude went further ahead
minutes into the second half, a cross from the left flank found the run of
Wes Pugh whose delicate flick nestled in to the bottom right corner.
Dan Starkey made it 4-1 on the hour and the floodgates then opened up as
Bude dominated the remainder of the game. On 65 minutes Billy Hopcroft got
one on one with the keeper, his shot was saved but was followed up by full
back Herbie Goodgroves to tap in at the back post. Soon after a Jason
Ferrett cross from the left picked out Starkey who finished for his
second. Bude began to get the bubbly out as striker Tommy Statton got
Budes seventh and final goal of the season with a a weaving run and fine
finish. Budes promotion was confirmed after the game as they
received the runners up trophy and medals. |
