Although both 'camps' talked a good game before the sides got down to battling it out on the field, few would disagree that Liskeard turned out to be the better side on the day and deserved their place in the last eight of the competition.

Callington fought tooth and nail but it was just not enough. They had flurries of attacks during which they threatened but the sustainedpressure came from Liskeard and the fact that they didn't score in the first half was due to the excellence of Callington goalkeeper Andy Brenton.

An early as the ninth minute James Gill broke down the left and picking out Mark Skerton some 20 yard out it gave the Blues striker every chance. Brenton though somehow got his body in the way of the ball as it sped goalward and his block kept the scoreline level.

Twice more Skerton stretched Brenton who later palmed away a John Dawe drive after a piercing run from Andy Bowker had put the midfield in on goal.

Callington meantime saw a drive from Nathan Hicks whistle past the far post while a chance which fell to Paul Webber saw the former Blues attacker drive over the bar.

Teenagers Matt Hawke and Gary Williams were always in the thick of the action as Callington were pressed back at the start of the second half.

In the 61st minute Liskeard pressure paid off when Dawe did well to keep a ball from running into touch and pushing it forward his cross worked its way past two or three players before finding Skerton at the far post. This time he made no mistake.

Callington perked up and for a while it was Liskeard who were on the back foot. But in attack Liskeard still looked the more likely with Graham MacMillan denied by a post before Bowker settled it with Liskeard's second.
