Bude played Mullion at home on 14^th October in the first leg of the Sandy Lodge cup quarter final.  Despite a sleepy start to the match it was Bude who scored first when slick passing from Lizzy Jenkins found Anita Symons whose first time cross was neatly knocked in by Katie Horstmann.  Mullion levelled shortly after from a corner when the dangerous Alice Rae was not closed down in the box.  However, Bude continued their attack and won numerous corners and free kicks.  It was only a matter of time before another goal was scored as Anita broke through time and again and wingers Leona Marsh and Leanne Stanbury tested the Mullion defence.

It was a Katie Horstmann corner that eventually broke the deadlock as Lizzy Jenkins powered her header into the net.  Dell Birkenshaw was unlucky not to increase the lead as her looping shot produced a fine save from the visiting keeper. Mullion staged their own attacks but Claire Gifford was a brick wall in centre defence and there was no way through.  Bude made it 3-1 at half time when another Katie Horstmann corner was knocked in by a Mullion defender.

The home side were still not playing to their usual standard and at the break Bude manager Aaron Westlake encouraged them to play their own game and improve possession.  Leanne Stanbury gave Bude a great start as she scored within the first minute – her powerful shot could only be parried into the goal by the keeper.  Soon after Katie Horstmann made it 5-1 when her hard and low shot spun under the keeper and just crossed the line.  With nothing to lose Mullion threw everything at Bude and loaded the front line encouraging Alice Rae to run free.  A good Bude defensive line thwarted the Mullion attack and some crunching tackles by Lisa Cornish and Corrine Salt denied further chances.  Mullion never gave up and a good channel ball found Alice Rae one on one with the keeper, whom she beat to make it 5-2.
