Mousehole’s last match of the 2023/24 season was a disappointing loss in the Play-Off Semi Final away against Frome but the sun was out for the return to action for The Seagulls, the country’s most Westerly club.

The visitors, Evesham Utd, had been one of the few teams to take all three points away with them from Trungle Parc last season so it promised to be tough game. With several new faces in their line-up Mousehole started brightly and both sides had chances but Mousehole broke the deadlock. A great diagonal from Max Hill released new boy Jordan Hackett, his immediate control allowed him to cross for Goldsworthy to finish from close range.

There were few other chances and the half ended 1-0.

Evesham had the best of the first 20 mins of the second half creating a few good chances but their shooting was always off target.

Turner missed a penalty for Mousehole after 70 mins when Mitchell had been felled. A great save by Harris.

Near the end Aaron Heap was red carded for a foul on Mousehole’s Symons. The ensuing melee led to four bookings, two on each side!Evesham still pushed hard but couldn’t draw level. A delighted Trungle celebrated a first league win of the season.
