SWPL PREMIER WEST (SATURDAY)

Launceston 2 Camelford 3

SHAE Cardiff tapped home an 86th minute winner as Camelford fought back from 2-0 down to win at bottom side Launceston.

Both sides went into the game off the back of victories, but it was the visitors that left with three more crucial points.

Camelford included St Austell’s Ryan Downing and St Blazey’s Charlie Hambly in their line-up and within two minutes Downing should have done better.

After a long ball wasn’t dealt with by home keeper Liam Hill, Downing decided to go himself and was crowded out when Adam Sleep was in plenty of space.

Before the ten-minute mark both sides were left frustrated with the official as the hosts felt Josh Colwill had handled outside his area, while at the other end, Hill was fortunate after bringing down Adam Sleep after mistiming a pass.

Launceston’s first real chance came on 19 minutes as Berry’s deep cross from the right was headed wide by Andy Watkins, before the game turned scrappy.

The home defence, led by the impressive left side of teenagers Alex Parnell and Ollie Northam, were looking solid although Mark Gusterson twice missed the target leading up to the half-hour mark.

Launceston took the lead on 41 minutes as Wood’s free-kick from all of 35 yards somehow beat Colwill down to his left-hand side.

They comfortably saw that lead through to the break and doubled it four minutes in as Berry sent a low drive from 15 yards on the angle into the far corner.

Camelford had won their last two games and replied when after the hosts were caught up field, Hambly sent Gusterson away down the left before the veteran attacker rolled a shot inside the near post.

Denham Guild missed a good headed chance from eight yards from a Berry cross before Sleep was soon sent clear but could only drag his effort well wide.

Both sides made substitutes but the next chance fell to Guild 20 minutes from time but he could only volley over from six yards from Watkins’ ball in.

Sleep, who had scored four times in the previous two outings was quiet for much of the game, but the former St Breward man had a huge say late on.

On 84 minutes, Kenley Dyson’s ball in from the right was met by Sleep who saw his shot squirm under Hill and in, before he turned provider two minutes later.

After a good team move down the left, he saw his initial cross from the touchline blocked, but with the hosts committed the ball dropped back to him and he rolled it across for Cardiff to apply an easy finish.

Launceston saw sub Josh Harris volley over, but Camelford held on to continue their ascent towards mid-table.
