This was Liskeard at their best. They crushed Bodmin with a a brand of forceful soccer that was a pleasure to watch.

"It was dire stuff from us we just made too many mistakes and got severely punished", conceded Bodmin boss Dave Churchill

His opposite number Martin Hodge has always demanded the best from his players but for once even he seemed satisfied with the outcome.

"I have been saying for a long time that one day a club is going to catch it we've been playing so well", he said. "Unfortunately today was the day and Bodmin were the side on the wrong end of a heavy defeat."

Once Neil Mullis set Liskeard on their way in the 15th minute scoring with a neat lob over the 'keeper the result was not in doubt.

There were a couple of odd flurries from Bodmin and Roger Quaintance did make one timely interception at the start of the second half but with Willy Williams also looking solid Paul Lowden was rarely stretched.

New signing Lee Maddock making his first full start justified his managers faith with a hat-trick. There were a brace of goals from leading scorer Colin Barrett which took his tally into the mid-twenties. Chippy Chapman added the seventh with Steve Cloke crowning a championship display from the Blues with number seven.
