Liskeard Athletic 1 St Austell 1

Striker James Lorenz scored 11 minutes from time to earn Liskeard a share of the spoils in a lively friendly at Lux Park on Wednesday evening.

Lorenz used his pace to get past a couple of defenders before firing in from close range to give the Blues a deserved equalizer.

It might have been better for the home side because substitute Sam Rogers had a great chance to score a last minute winner after being set up by Lorenz, but he failed to beat the keeper from 10 yards.

St Austell, fielding a strong side, had taken a 30th minute lead with a Mark Goldsworthy penalty after Matt Lloyd had been upended just inside the area.

The visitors had to thank Jason Chapman for still being level after a brilliant series of saves by the veteran keeper in the same move after 11 minutes.

Chapman denied Lorenz, Jarrad Woods, Adrian Walton and Jack Podmore as Liskeard battered the St Austell penalty area.

In the second half, Liskeard substitute Rob Cleveland missed a great chance to equalise in the 54th minute, before Chris Reski smashed a free kick against the Liskeard bar on the hour.Liskeard: J Gilbert, S Jones, A Vargo, J Podmore, D Peel, A King, A Gregory, J Lorenz, A Walton, J Woods, B Collins.
