Southgate Seniors 5-3 Grampound Veterans
3 March 2024
Cornwall Veterans League Cup
Quarter Final
The shock of those late first half goals seemed to hang over Grampound as home side suddenly found keeping possession to be a bit easier and it was not really surprising to see them scoring a third on the hour. Grampound heads did not drop and an extra spark followed Makepeace heading home a corner to reduce the arrears. He completed his hat trick when he finished neatly after being gifted the ball by the home goalkeeper as he tried to pass out. Disappointingly, with 20 minutes left Grampound conceded again more when defenders stood still at a set piece and then at a corner as they chased the game and an injury to Makepeace made getting back into the match that bit harder.
The Grampound squad, however, should be pleased with this cup run which has seen them play some outstanding football.
