HAYLE 2 FALMOUTH TOWN 1

A STRENGTHED Hayle side pulled off an unlikely 2-1 victory over Falmouth Town at Trevassack Park thanks to a last-gasp goal.

Town had been in the driving seat until ten minutes from time, but two goals in the closing minutes undid all their good work.

Luke Wort could have given Town an early lead, but saw both his efforts saved. However, Ashley Thomas broke the deadlock in the 20th minute when his first-time shot gave the goalkeeper no chance.

Hayle were restricted to breakaways, but for all their possession Town were unable to extend their lead through wayward finishing.

Town rode their luck at the start of the second half as Hayle missed a couple of good chances and goalkeeper Tom Thorpe made a couple of good saves, but 20 minutes from time they suffered a blow when Dave Rawlings was sent off after hauling back a defender.

Ten minutes from time Hayle levelled the scores when Town's defence was caught napping by a cross to the far post There was not even time to restart the game when Hayle snatched all three points with the last kick of the match after a cross by Matt Thomas was turned in by Chris Thomas.
