CALLINGTON 0

ST BLAZEY 7

SAINT Blazey swept aside Callington with a polished performance in a game marred by three red cards.

It was a quality performance from the Saints and their captain Ben Joyce who hit four, including two penalties.

The first 20 minutes was fairly even with both sides having chances but then the breakthrough came when a Saints’ ball took a wicked deflection off Callington’s Josh Freeman Wright which left Sam Borthwick helpless in the town goal.

On 26 minutes St Blazey were awarded a penalty on the edge of the area and Joyce fired home the resultant spot kick.

Eleven minutes later and chaos ensued when Lee Robinson was judged to have high tackled a St Blazey defender and the referee red carded the teenager; Joyce did the business from the spot to make it 3-0 and on the stroke of half time Joyce completed his hat-trick to send the visitors in 4-0 at the break.

For the first 20 minutes of the second half both sides traded chances with Town battling well but being a man down and chasing the game Carl Rickard was on hand to fire the visitors 5-0 ahead.

Two minutes later and it was six when Joyce added a fourth before a crazy four minutes saw two red cards and a seventh goal.

First St Blazey’s Hayden Bray was red carded for a high challenge but numerical parity was only briefly held as Freeman Wright followed Bray just two minutes later for a similar tackle and then Lewis Phillips completed the scoring on 86 minutes.
