Liskeard Athletic 8 St Austell 1 Another Saturday, another thrashing, making it 20 goals for the Blues in their last three weekend games as the Lux Park outfit continued their rich scoring vein. This match had both drama and farce aplenty, comparing favourably with pantomime – the swash and buckle coming from the Blues, the Lillywhites playing the hapless villains, while the match officials more than filled the comic role of panto dames. Once Liskeard's own Peter Pan, seemingly ageless striker Lee Harvey, opened the scoring in the second minute with a back post header from Kevin Mee's cross, the pattern of the game was set. Harvey's forward partner-in-crime, Paul Baker, opened his account with the first of his three goals with a delicate chipped finish in the 12th minute as Liskeard threatened to sweep aside the Lillywhites. Poor Blues finishing however meant that St Austell's goal remained more or less intact until the 31st minut,e when Matt Cusack scored the first of his brace with a cross shot. Perhaps Liskeard became overconfident as the visitors pulled a goal back in the 41st minute, pitiful marking from Lee Wakeham's corner allowing Gavin Welsh to head the ball home. The second half saw more of the same from Liskeard with the home side dominating entirely. Harvey set up Baker to score his second in the 65th minute and further goals came from Matt Cusack, Liam Price and Sam Matthews to boost the home goal difference. More comic decisions by the officials led to frustrated St Austell manager Roger Wakeham being sent to the terraces by the referee on 69 minutes before the traditional panto villain, in this case St Austell keeper Simian May, took centre stage in the 80th minute. Baker was flattened in the visiting penalty box, a penalty was rightly given and in the ensuing mass of strutting and posturing that followed, May thumped Jimmy Keily. After an age of discussions by the referee with all and sundry, May was ordered to join his boss on the sidelines. Rob Edwards became the new duck in the shooting gallery as Baker duly completed his hat trick and all eventually ended happily ever after as far as Liskeard were concerned. 'I don't now how we didn't hit double figures,' said Blues manager Dave Leonard afterwards. 'That said though, the team are doing everything I want them to – they are working hard on the training ground and these recent results are a testament to them,' added Leonard.
