Callington Town 0

Bodmin Town 0

THE hosts picked up a superb point on Wednesday night as they held Bodmin Town to a goalless draw at Ginsters Marsh.

The first-half was a dull affair although the visitors missed several good chances with Dan Pethick, Tom Annear and Nathan Summers all guilty.

The second-half saw Sam Borthwick in the home goal make a couple of fine saves before Summers was given his marching orders with 15 minutes to go.

However, despite the man advantage, Callington were forced to settle for a deserved point.

Callington Town 1

TEN-man Camelford made it four successive wins in all competitions with a 3-1 victory over Callington Town on Friday night.

The Camels had secured league victories at Liskeard and Newquay as well as beating Ashton & Backwell United to advance into the first-round of the FA Vase in the space of a week, and a dominant opening 45 minutes set them on their way.

A trademark Bobby Hopkinson free-kick from just outside of the box put them in front after 13 minutes, before he was denied from the same sort of distance by a superb tip on to the crossbar by goalkeeper, Sam Borthwick.

Callington were given a way back into the match on 20 minutes as defender Adam Jenkin was adjudged to have been the last man when committing a foul, and was sent-off despite the hosts being convinced that Martin Haynes was there to cover.

However it didn’t make much difference, as within 15 minutes teenager Kian Burns continued his superb form since joining earlier this month by hammering into the top corner from ten yards.

Five minutes before the break, Camelford went 3-0 up as defender Leighton Carhart headed home a Hopkinson set-piece.

With the wind in their favour, the visitors were still in the game and reduced the deficit on 57 minutes as left-winger Tommy Norton cut in and fired past Luke Gwillam from 15 yards.

But despite having ten men, the Camels created the better chances without grabbing a fourth, as Andy Boxall’s 25-yard drive shaved the angle of post and crossbar, before Borthwick pulled off a miraculous double save from Hopkinson and Burns.

Camelford were in Cornwall Charity Cup action at Godolphin Atlantic last night (Wednesday) and head to St Blazey on Saturday (3pm) looking to maintain their position in the top six.
