BUDE Ladies FC played top of the league Falmouth at home on Sunday, September 23.

With a strong squad, Bude began well, playing sharp football from the start against a swirling wind. New signing Courtney Ward dominated midfield and linked up well with Katherine Bryant — these two causing much confusion for the Falmouth defence.

Despite both sides playing well, a very entertaining first half saw no goals. The second half saw improvement from Bude, who grew in confidence.
