League Match
Launceston 0 Bude 1
Bude produced another solid display to collect 3 points
and their third league clean sheet in a row. Bude had big chunks of the
play in the first half especially in midfield, but weren't creating
enough chances in the final third as the Launceston backline defended
very well, Bude had a few half chances but their best chance fell to
Tommy Statton, the ball came to him just on the edge of the box and a
sweetly hit drive was matched with a superb save over the bar from
Launceston keeper Matt Harris. Launceston did see a speculative cross
come shot hit the Bude cross bar mid way through the half and Bude Gary
Dinshaw did make a low save from a Charlie Barnes effort right on half
time. Early in the second Bude took the lead, winger Wes Pugh was
brought down on the right, defender Josh Allen whipped in a beautiful
cross which striker Steve Hackett glanced on in to the far left corner.
Young Chris Hill came on in the 70th minute to mark his first team debut
for Bude but it will be remembered for the wrong reasons when after just
5 minutes on the pitch came a hard challenge which the referee deemed
dangerous enough to warrant a straight red. With 10 men though Bude
seemed comfortable enough and saw out the game to the final whistle.
