After the Boxing Day washout, the five scheduled games involving Post area clubs for Saturday all went ahead.

Holsworthy made the trip up to the North Devon coast to take on SWPL Premier East leaders Ilfracombe Town, and despite taking the lead through the prolific Harry Stevens, were beaten 5-1.

Stevens scored within ten minutes with a smart finish, following fine work down the left from Nathan Bonney. However, the Magpies were pegged back shortly after through Chris Roberts’ penalty.

Will Berry put the Bluebirds ahead shortly after the half hour and that was how it stayed until the second-half when Brodie Montague outpaced the defence before the hour and shot home at the second attempt.

Ilfracombe have lost just once all season and added the gloss through Charlie Prentice’s header and Jack Jenkins’ finish.

In St Piran League East, fifth-placed Launceston Reserves pushed their St Austell counterparts close at Pennygillam before going down to defeat against the runaway leaders.

The reigning East Cornwall Premier League champions are nine points clear and won it from a set piece when the ball ricocheted off Harvey Hann at a corner and into the net, while the Clarets rarely troubled Brett Allen in the Lilywhites’ goal.

Callington Town Reserves picked up a crucial point with a 2-2 draw at strugglers Lanreath.

Corey Freeman and William Searle were on target for the Marshmen who remain 16th in the 18-team division, five points above second bottom St Dennis Reserves.

St Minver remain four points off leaders Mount Gould in the RRL East Cornwall Premier League after coming from behind to record an emphatic 7-2 derby win at St Teath on Saturday.

Mike Kempthorne and Rob Elliott were both at the treble for the Blues with Joe Combellack also on target. Sam Brown hammered in a volley before adding a penalty for the hosts, who went 2-1 up.

Mid-table North Petherwin were defeated 4-1 at Newquay Reserves with Danny Moore on target for the Badgers.
