Bodmin Trophies Duchy division 3

Lamerton 8

Veryan 0

NEWLY promoted Lamerton kicked off their new season with a home fixture. Without several regulars they began slowly and missed several half-chances with Kev Swift and Paul Breyley coming closest with headers.

The deadlock was broken after 35 minutes when Lee Wickett beat the keeper. Within a couple of minutes Dave Byworth made it two following good work down the right by Steve Gibbings and Wickett.

When man of the match Kev Swift made it three before half-time the pressure was off and the quality of football improved.

The second half began with Swift feeding Wickett to make it four and the same player completed his hat-trick shortly afterwards. Further goals came with Darren Sambells bagging a pair on his debut and Simon Breyley completing the scoring.

It was a good overall performance with the defence, in which Ian Collacott was impressive, never really stretched .

This Saturday at home to Probus in the league, kick-off 2.30pm.
