WEST CORNWALL U15s 2-5 PLYMOUTH U15s
ENGLISH SCHOOLS NATIONAL INTER-ASSOCIATION TROPHY, SECOND ROUND
AT MOUSEHOLE AFC, TRUNGLE PARC, ON WEDNESDAY 1ST NOVEMBER 2017
Mousehole AFC’s recently refurbished Trungle Parc HQ was the venue for this second round tie in the English Schools Football Association U15s national competition between West Cornwall and Plymouth. Both teams had received a bye in the first round.
Plymouth, who started as favourites, came out as 5-2 winners (3-1 at half time) in a match reduced to 35 minutes each way because of concerns about the fading light later in the afternoon.
Around 60 spectators were treated to a game of attractive and competitive football played by two sides demonstrating great technical skills and teamwork on a good surface following the pitch works over the summer.
Manager Kevin Lawrence was justifiably proud of the way his West Cornwall lads continued to pass and probe against some physically stronger opposition, with the main difference in the end being the power and speed of Plymouth’s two wide front players.
The players’ team sheets, and information about the English Schools Football Association and the West Cornwall and Plymouth District Associations, are in the attached four-page programme.
PS:
‘Kevin Lawrence, manager of the West Cornwall side, thanked the club in an email..
Can i just ‘echo’ Andrews comments on the game.
The boys LOVED playing at the ground and on the pitch which by the way was complimented by all the players, coaching staff, match officials and parents.
Can i just say thank you to hosting the game, sorting the food, refreshments etc is such a nice gesture which allows me as the manager to concentrate on the game. The parents having access to refreshments was a very nice touch indeed.
Thanks again and i would love to host more district/county games at Mousehole in the future should you be able to accommodate.
Thanks again guys.
