Match Report
Grampound Veterans 2-2 Kernow
Wanderers
17th
September 2023r
Cornwall Veterans League West
Grampound started really well in
their first league match of the
campaign but went behind
following a series of
unfortunate errors which
eventually gave the visitors an
easy chance that they took well.
Grampound fought back strongly
and looked the team much more
likely to score but it was not
until well into the half that
striker Ross Jackson-Hicks beat
his marker on the edge of the
penalty area and drilled a
low shot past the goalkeeper's
right hand into the far corner
to notch an equaliser.
Grampound lost their way a
little once level and the
visitors began to threaten more.
The introduction of
Dayle Gibert at half-time
enabled Grampound to gain more
possession but, again, Kernow
Wanderers scored when Grampound
were on top to take the lead
once again. Grampound
continued to battle and the last
15 minutes saw them pressurising
the visiting defence but sound
defending looked like all the
points would be heading away
from the home team. In the
very last minute, Jules Woodman
struck the bar from 25 yards and
also managed to collect the ball
from the rebound. As he
carried the ball into the
penalty area a desperate tackle
floored him and a penalty was
awarded. Woodman picked
himself up and rifled penalty
kick into the bottom corner of
the net to give Grampound a
deserved share of the points
with only seconds remaining on
the referee's watch.
