ILLOGAN 5 RNAS CULDROSE 0

ILLOGAN produced their best all-round display of the season in the Jolly's Combination League to set up a convincing 5-0 win over RNAS Culdrose.

Playing up the slope and against a strong wind, the writing was on the wall for the servicemen as early as the fifth minute when Andy Cowper was brought down by goalkeeper Neil Rudkin after the striker was put through by Rodney Gregory. Gregory took the spotkick and made no mistake.

Illogan looked particularly sharp, but were made to work hard by a resilient visiting team who, despite enjoying a good run of results, failed to provide their front men with sufficient support.

Rudkin made another good save from Gregory to keep his side in the game, but Illogan 'keeper Danny Burrows also had to be alert to save at the feet of a striker.

Cowper gave Illogan the perfect start to the second half when his shot was blocked, but he regained possession and although forced wide gave the 'keeper no chance with his second effort.

Rudkin made another fine save from Josh Kemp, but in the 76th minute he had no chance after deflecting Nicky Medlin's free kick on to the bar. It rebounded to Ben Widdershoven who knocked the ball back across the goal for Cowper to head in.

Illogan extended their lead to 4-0 in the 8oth minute when Rob Bray picked up a pass from Ryan Treloar and fired home a spectacular 25-yard into the top corner of the net.

A minute from time Illogan put the seal on a fine victory when Simon Ellis ran on to Treloar's pass and found Medlin who executed a perfect chip shot over the 'keeper.

It was a fine all round performance by Illogan with two youngsters, Aaron Clark and Josh Kemp, the pick of the bunch.

Illogan: D Burrows, G Pitt, A Clark, T Hogarth, R Bray, J Kemp, N Medlin, S Peters, B Widdershoven, R Gregory, A Cowper. Subs: G Sturmey, R Treloar, S Ellis.
