Two penalties? No. Just one.

A night that started promisingly ended with rancour and disappointment.

Tallan Mitchell’s early goal after just two minutes was a false dawn. Despite dominating possession, Mousehole could not increase their lead and a defensive error gifted Tavistock the equaliser.

Having been denied a certain penalty, the Seagulls went into halftime feeling hard done by. To their cost, they seemed to carry this feeling into the second half, as Tavistock always looked the more dangerous.

When the visitors scored from a contentious penalty award there was a feeling that the evening would not end well.

In spite of more penalty box entries than in any match this season Mousehole could not break through a solid defence and failed to have a meaningful shot on target.

Another home defeat, another disappointing evening, but we’re still early in the season and Saturday’s trip to Cinderford is a quick chance to turn things back to the positive.
