League Match

Bude 11    St.Newlyn East 1

Bude completely dominated against a St.Newlyn team who had to draft in some reserve team players to their squad the same morning.  Bude themselves had players out but even though going behind early on, they didn't look like they were going to lose this match. Bude could have been three or four nil up in the first 10 minutes as Bude created chance after chance but they couldn't get the ball in the back of the net. St.Newlyn though took the lead after a cross from the left found Martin O'Brien free at the back and he slotted low in to the corner.  It was becoming frustrating for Bude as other chances went begging, they finally equalised midway through the half when a shot on to crossbar rebounded to James Giodarni who shot in to the keepers face, again came out and Tommy Statton this time volleyed in to the back of the net. Bude soon took the lead with Antony Giodarni following up a saved shot to score just yards out.  Statton then grabbed his second to take Bude in to a 3-1 half time lead. Bude came out after the break in top gear and soon increased their lead through Billy Hopcroft and Statton got his hat-trick running through on goal and cheekily chipping over the keeper.  St.Newlyn were then reduced to 10 men after foul and abusive language from a player who then mooned at the crowd.  Bude were relentless though as they went 8-1 up with substitutes Simon Chadwick scoring two near post goals and Gary Hodgson rising to head in a cross from the right.  Stevie Box got in on the act, Hopcroft grabbed his second and Statton added his fourth to the tally to finish off one of the most comprehensive victory's the club has seen.
