Jewson South Western League
Penzance 2
Callington Town 2
PAUL Webber was the toast of Callington Town on Saturday when his 81st minute equaliser gave them a deserved point.
Callington dominated the early exchanges, taking the lead on 12 minutes. Stuart Wakenshaw and Gary Smith combined on the left wing before Wakenshaw crossed for Webber to slide the ball past the Magpies keeper.
The home side responded and began to press the Town defence before, on 28 minutes, Adie Cusack and Chris Mather combined to set up Matthew Salmon who calmly beat Andy Brenton in the Callington goal for the equaliser.
The home side took the lead themselves on 73 minutes, but with eight minutes to go Barry Ewence went on a right wing run and crossed for Webber to grab his second from close range to equalise.
Launceston Cup first round
Callington Town 2
Southgate Utd 0
DUCHY Premier side Callington progressed to the second round of the cup at Ginsters Marshfield Parc on Sunday, but they paid a high price as the referee controversially booked five and sent off one Town player.
A youthful Southgate and Callington contributed to an even contest and some of the football produced by both sides was worthy of much higher games which only served to add to the confusion of the plethora of yellow cards.
The red card man was Simon Hunt who received a second yellow shortly before the end.
Town made the breakthrough on 50 minutes. Chris Gerry caused problems down the left wing and after beating two defenders crossed for Martin Nicholls to fire home from close range.
With five minutes left a Tony Truscott corner was firmly headed home by Jason Gregory to give the victory to Town and set up a great second round clash between Town and Dobwalls, Sunday November 21.
