SOUTH WEST PENINSULA LEAGUE PREMIER WEST (GOOD FRIDAY)

Callington Town 3 Launceston 1

LAUNCESTON remain bottom of the table as Fin Harrison’s brace helped Callington Town remain firmly in the mix for a top three finish.

The home team shaded the early exchanges and it was no surprise when Harvey Barrett rose unchallenged to nod home a free-kick and open the scoring after 15 minutes.

The Clarets were well in the game and Archie Wall headed just over from a Denham Guild free-kick.

Guild then thought he’d won his side a penalty, but the original decision was reversed for an earlier offside.

The Clarets enjoyed a good spell after the break and equalised through Lee Robinson who headed home a Guild corner from the right.

Launceston needed to build on their goal, but as has happened so often this season, conceded almost immediately, Fin Harrison scoring from close-range.

Manager Simon Minett had introduced Shea Cardiff and Tom Bullock at the break. Cardiff looked lively and hit the far post with a clever chip.

Clarets keeper Oliver Sidey was in top form and made a stunning triple save to deny substitutes Fin Skews and Alex Jacob.

Launceston pushed on, looking for an equaliser, but lost Bullock who was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jacob.

Callington made the ten men pay for the indiscretion and sealed victory in adde- time through Harrison’s second.
