Cup Match
Polperro 4 Bude 5
This was certainly a game of two halves in this league
cup tie. Bude opened the scoring in the first five minutes, Tommy
Statton slotting in from close range. First division leaders Polperro
were soon level, Rob Spencer put through on the left and he struck low
in to the right corner. A mistake led to Zak Peel snatching the ball and
scoring Polperros' second. The home team continued to dominate the half
adding two further goals from Spencer and Peel. The second half
completely changed, Budes all round game improved 100% as they ran riot
throughout. They pulled one back after 55 minutes, Glen Bickle played
the ball in to the feet of Statton on the edge of the box who flicked
the ball through to full back Josh Allen who shot early in to the
corner. After 70 minutes another goal for Bude came when a long through
ball from Robbie Pearce found the run of winger Stevie Box who smashed a
half volley down the middle of the goal. Bude levelled the score in the
80th minute, a Polperro player handled in the box and a penalty was
given. Pearce put the keeper the wrong way from the spot. Another
penalty minutes from the end was awarded to Bude after a clear push on
Adam Smith, Pearce calmly tucked the penalty in to the opposite corner
to record a superb comeback and turnaround in fortunes for Bude who
progress to the second round.
