STOKE Climsland put a poor run of form to an end with a 5-4 win at bottom club Holywell/Cubert Athletic to move back up to third in the Premier Division and overturned a 4-1 half time deficit in doing so.

It’s been a lack of available players that has been the biggest concern to the club management, so this result could well revive their season. Stoke opened the scoring after an even first 15 minutes against the strong wind. Holywell equalised eight minutes later when Alex Taylor made a good run down the right, threading Luke Williams who finished well. Twelve minutes later, Holywell were in the lead when Taylor picked up on a parried shot from Kieren Faulkner and put his shot away and they increased their lead with Wayne Riley slotting home from a Williams run and pass from the left. Adam Williams joined his brother on the scoresheet to make it 4-1 just before half-time. Through one on one, he lifted the ball over the keeper, with the wind behind it, the ball dribbled over the line despite the Stoke defenders’ best efforts.

The visitors roared back into the contest with their five goals coming from Charlie Duncan (2), Aaron Clark, Robert Eddie and Andrew Spokes.

Boscastle were 2-1 winners over AFC Bodmin and move into the top five. James Bosley and Ollie Edwards for Boscastle with Matt Hooper replying for Bodmin.

Lanivet Inn remain with a 100% record in Division One after beating St Minver Reserves 4-0.

Pensilva were beaten 2-0 at home by Lifton. Tom Hancock headed the visitors into the lead from a corner with Brandon Stott getting the second, although it was rather fluky. Pensilva created a few chances without really threatening, and their keeper made some decent saves to deny Lifton a bigger win.

Josh Barron hit a hat-trick as Southgate Seniors beat St Cleer Reserves 6-3 to move up to second in Division Two. Wayne Francome, Anthony Coles and Mark Wilson added further goals for Southgate. James Pengelly hit a brace in reply for St Cleer with Jack Ostle also hitting the target.

Trebles from Liam Rich and Dylan Boundy and a brace apiece from Chris Alford and Alex Sandercock saw Lifton Reserves overwhelm North Hill 12-3. Paul Perkins and Darren Volz completed the home tally with Phil Lucas, Ben Berry and Josh Legg hitting back with goals for North Hill.

St Eval Spitfires and Boscastle Reserves shared the spoils from a 2-2 draw. Darren Hambly and Ryan Williams were on target for Boscastle.

Delabole United stay in promotion contention in Division Three after beating Queens Rangers 6-1 at the King George V Playing Field. Dan Edwards scored a brace with Mac Irwin, Luke King and Dan Mountain completing the Delabole tally. Phil Walmsley scored the Rangers consolation with one of the many long shot goals on a windy day.

In the Shoe Boy League Cup, Week St Mary took a gamble by giving up home advantage to reverse their game to Bude Town Thirds pitch with their own ground again waterlogged. This match in Group H was a winner takes all match with the runners-up spot going to the winner.

Week led 2-1 at half-time and stretched to a 6-3 win to secure an away draw in the knockout stages.

Steve Short and Paul Banks scored a brace apiece for Week with Jimmy Shanks and Jake Cartwright adding further goals. Ben Furber replied with a double for Bude with Sean Manning notching the other.
