Five of the Best

After three winless away games the home comfort of Trungle Parc wrapped its arms around the Seagulls and brought a priceless victory.

Man of the Match was a well deserving Tallan Mitchell with two goals and an assist. In the end the scoreline didn’t flatter Mousehole but it could have been very different if the visitors had possessed a more potent forward line. On two or three occasions the Mousehole defence was split wide open only for the men in red to squander very presentable chances.

Ollie Chenoweth’s work in defending corners was exemplary; he landed more punches than Mike Tyson did in last week’s fiasco of a fight. At the other end the scoring began just before the half hour when a lovely cross from Hackett was turned in by Nixon. Tallan almost sewed up the win with a pre-half-time brace but jitters returned when Goldie was sent off for what looked like a yellow card challenge.

Any concerns disappeared when Hackett slammed home not long into the second half and scoring was nicely rounded off by substitute Ntege.

A great win and hopefully a launch pad for the top three.
