Newquay are too strong for St Austell
An impressive Friday night crowd of 305 assembled to witness home side Newquay beat St Austell 3-2 in an entertaining encounter at Mount Wise.
The attendance was the third biggest in the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League this season, and they were not kept waiting long for the opening goal as Chris Reski slammed the ball home from six yards to give the visitors the lead.
Newquay were level before the break courtesy of Danny Brook's thunderous free-kick, and second-half goals from Shaun Middleton and Mark Vercesi saw the Peppermints leading 3-1 before home goalkeeper Sam Trudgian ensured a frantic last five minutes after punching Reski's corner into his own net.
Elburton Villa and Ivybridge Town fought out a 1-1 draw at Haye Road. Todd Hanrahan gave Ivybridge a 68th-minute lead from the penalty spot before Sam Stevens levelled four minutes later.
