(Cornwall Junior Cup, Round 2)
Back to Fixtures

Grampound weren't at the races in this match and were second best to a St Dennis team that didn't have to play that well to win. Lee Rickard, by far St Dennis's best player, gave St Dennis the lead with a good finish after another player had waltzed all too easily through the heart of the Grampound defence. Grampound then equalised after Shane Weeks was put clear. His first effort wassaved but he reacted quickly to the loose ball and squared for Dean Dunn to equalise from six yards. Rickard bagged his second from the spot after a rather generous penalty was given against Scott Rosevear for which St Dennis didn't even appeal. Dai Moseley's spectacular volley in first half stoppage time appeared to have levelled the match, but the goal was disallowed for a rather questionable offside decision.

Rickard bagged his hat-trick at the start of the second half before a long range effort from Chris Brown gave St Dennis their fourth goal.

The match was competitive throughout but there was not a nasty challenge in the game, yet the referee, who seemed to want to be centre of attention, still managed to book about 10 players! Frustration boiled over with one of the St Dennis players who was sent off twice towards the end of the game for telling the referee what he thought of him.
