CARLSBERG SW PENINSULA LEAGUE

PREMIER DIVISION

Bodmin Town 6, Liskeard Athletic 1

The Blues' tale of woe continued as they were comprehensively beaten by the reigning champions in this floodlit encounter at Priory Park.

Martin McHugh's side were left still searching for their first victory of the season, with their 25 matches so far maturing just two points, and they are now six points adrift of 18th-placed Cullompton Rangers, who have a massive five games in hand.

Liskeard's last three outings have seen them concede a massive 20 goals, while Sam Gilbert's 55th-minute strike was their first goal in 250 minutes of play and, on this form, it is hard to see where the first victory will come from.

It was former Blues striker Chris Wright who was their main tormentor, as he helped himself to four goals which included a first-half hat-trick.
