Liskeard Athletic 0-3 Mousehole
Pre-Season Friendly
Friday 22nd July 2022
At Lux Park
Friday night football drew a sizeable crowd to watch the Step 6 hosts against the Step 5 visitors, with Mousehole exerting their authority to record a welcome ‘clean sheet’ win in their final warm-up game before the start of the Western League season next weekend.
33 minutes: Slick passing opens up the home defence, enabling Reece Thomson to drive forward to the corner of the six-yard box and square the ball to PAULO SOUSA at the far post for a right-footed shot past the covering defenders on the line
61 minutes: Skilful interplay outside the penalty area gives TALLAN MITCHELL the space to deliver a swerving right-foot drive from 18 yards into the far corner past keeper Luke Gwillam’s full-length dive
79 minutes: Surging forward from midfield, Andy Elcock touches the ball just inside the area to ANDY WATKINS who instantly drives an unstoppable shot into the net
Attendance: 162
This completes The Seagulls’ six-game pre-season programme, having won four (all away at Wadebridge, Wendron, Tavistock and Liskeard), lost one (home against Plymouth Parkway) and drawn one (home against St Austell), involving a combined total of 30 goals scored to entertain supporters with lots to think about and look forward to.
