Bude 0       Plymouth Argyle 3

Bude played Plymouth Argyle Reserves in the Bristol Soccerworld Cup on
Sunday 7th Dec.  With the visitors temporarily beginning with 10, the game
started with the advantage to Bude.  The home side pressured Argyle and
created many chances, Anita Symons worried the defence and crossed in some
super balls.  Steph Hayden was in a determined mood at right back and linked
up well with Leona Marsh.  Leanne Stanbury and Sarah Badham also had chances
but could not find the net.  After 20 minutes Arglye were back to 11 and
introduced first team player Katie Middleton who made an instant impact.
Linking up with Paula Pearce she scored 2 goals before half time to knock
Bude.  After the break the home side upped their game to a new level and
with the introduction of 'Jetski' Rory Birkenshaw the pace was increased.
Leanne Stanbury came close when her shot just went wide of the open goal and
Sarah Badham's shot ricocheted off the bar and post only to bounce out.
Gemma Smith played her socks off in defence, denying Middleton and Pearce
but it was a through ball to Rhianne Parsons that finished Bude off, placing
her shot past the reach of keeper Lisa Cornish.  Game finished 0-3 but a
fine performance nonetheless from a Bude side that would not give up.
