East Cornwall premier Bere Alston United 6

Lanreath 0

BERE Alston were in front inside two minutes when Dan Follett linked up with Mike Cornew on the edge of the penalty area before beating two players and driving his shot low into the bottom corner.

Bere should have increased their lead five minutes later but Jason Cordice shot straight at the keeper and they were nearly made to pay for that miss when Lanreath twice hit the post from their next two attacks.

It was the last time Lanreath threatened and on the half hour Jason Cordice made amends for his earlier miss when he received a pass from Marcus Pethick and fired home Bere's second.

Five minutes later and it was 3-0 when Mike Cornew's good work set up Paul Simpson for a neat finish and a thumping drive into the top corner from Jason Cordice saw Bere go in four up at the break.

In the first 30 minutes of the second half Bere failed to reproduce the form they had shown in the first half, although Jason Cordice, Marcus Pethick, Dan Follett and Paul Simpson all went close to increasing the lead.

In the last 15 minutes that Bere finally clicked back into gear and amid a goalmouth scramble Mike Cornew was rewarded with his first goal for the club and he completed the scoring with his second and Bere Alston's sixth in the closing minutes..
