Mabe 1, Mylor Cons 0

Mabe secured a hard fought victory over a strong Mylor Cons team in tough conditions at the Dracaena Centre.

With most of the game being played in heavy rain it was always going to be a low scoring encounter. Both sides had chances in the first half with Patrick Finnegan going close for Mabe and Matt Mossop for the Cons. It was stalemate at half time with both defences on top.

The intensity of the game increased in the second half with more chances being created. Matt Noonan pulled off a great stop from a Mossop shot.

It looked like the game was set to be a draw but in the last minute Mabe set up an attack and captain Brendan Kelly finishing off a quick move to fire the ball into the Cons net.

Teams:

Mabe – Matt Noonan (GK), Mary Walsh, Brendan Kelly (capt), Annan Birkett, Matt Ellis, Patrick Finnegan. Subs – Libby Walters, Heather Clifford.

Mylor Cons – Mike Comyn (GK), Josh Chant, Matt Mossop, Reuben Thompson, Nathan Hope, Ellie Coleman.

CSM Gold 8, CSM Blue 0

CSM Gold defied the odds to claim an unlikely win, crushing fellow student team CSM Blue 8-0 on a muddy Dracaena pitch. Jamie Cranston stole the show with 7 goals, with Patrick Hutchinson marking his return with a goal. Despite being 2 players short of their opponents, Gold showed no fear as the returning Patrick Hutchinson and the ever-reliable Ailish Kelly stopped everything that came their way, with long hits forward supplying Cranston with plenty of ball.

With the score 5-0 at half time Blue captain Luke Wilkinson reshuffled the pack, switching Vicky Lipscombe in goal and bringing George Wickenden outfield.

However despite great improvement in the second half from Blue, the result was never in doubt as Gold successfully avenged their defeat at the hands of blue from earlier in the season, with 3 more goals from Cranston to round of a resounding victory.

CSM Gold: James Beaumont (cpt), Ailish Kelly, Patrick Hutchinson, Jamie Cranston
