Cornwall Combination League
ST AGNES 1 MULLION 2
I last visited St Agnes Football Club some 15 years ago when stopping at John Fowlers on holiday just up the hill, so vaguely remember the place. It was time for a re-visit and now staying in Hayle, it was just along the coastline. The visitors were Mullion, who play not far from the Lizard on the south side of Cornwall and I visited them last season.
In the 15 years past there have been quite a few changes to the ground, including the clubhouse being extended as well as the changing rooms.
On arrival I was kindly greeted by the home committee and management, whilst Hazel and Shawn went in to the nice clubhouse.
Just as the match kicked off, I was joined by London hopper Mark Wilkins who is staying in Plymouth for a few days break.
The game wasnt a classic, it was a routine end of season match with really nothing to play for, but all credit to both sides as they did their best to carve out chances, but they were very even and often cancelled each others moves out, but was still entertaining.
The visitors opened the scoring on 13 minutes, when their young striker ran through and unleashed a solid shot from just inside the right side of the area to make it 0-1. The Saints pushed forward but was missing that final touch to get them selves level, but they did equalise on the hour with a close ranged header.
The game was now anyones to win and I felt that St Agnes were to go on and do that, but Mullion in the 80th minute went back in front with a dipping shot.
The Saints then for the final ten minutes pushed everyone forward and came close several times to get a draw, but it just wasnt their evening and Mullion went home with the points.
Must say to any groundhoppers that havent visited St Agnes FC to go along as they are a very friendly club and well worth a visit.
