FIRST placed Bude played second placed Caradon on a bitterly cold afternoon last Saturday.

The visitors started the brighter of the two sides, with Bude's defence of Viv Cobner, Kirsty Heslop, Cassie Walker and Miranda Roper working well as a unit to prevent any shots at goal.

The first half saw very few chances for either side, with most of the possession kept in the middle of the field.

Bude took the lead just before half time when player of the match Miranda picked up the ball on the 25 and dribbled past the oncoming defender, before striking the ball from a tight angle into the far corner.
