  Managers Match Report...

Illogan were the better side in the first half and the league leaders deserved their two goal lead at half time, although both goals were gifts. The first was an effort from thirty yards which Kev Pellow should of caught easily, but the ball slipped through his fingers and dropped into the net. The second came from a corner which we failed to clear and their man on the edge of the box had time to pick his spot in the bottom left corner.

As usual we stepped up a gear in the second half and after fifteen minutes Marc Taylor pulled a goal back, when from Caddy's corner he got a shin on the loose ball and deflected it goalward. A substitution looked to be on the cards soon after when Phil Todd and an Illogan defender clashed heads but with an egg appearing under his eye he wobbled to his feet and after a bit of the magic water decided he was ok to carry on. Minutes later he turned into Denis Bergkamp, another corner was cleared to the edge of the box where Toddy collected the ball on his chest and as it dropped he hit a sweet dipping volley over the keeper only to see it rattle the crossbar. Five minutes later Marc Taylor scored his second goal to level the scores, he finished off a Tim Grose cross which was headed back across goal by Lee Fairley for Marc to finish from close range. A couple of players went off for Illogan with injuries and the defence were being put under increasing pressure, especially so down the right hand side where Terry Spargo and Tim Grose were causing havoc with some surging forward runs. And it was from the right side that the winning goal was to come from but from an unlikely source, with five minutes remaining Marc Taylor turned provider with an excellent cross to the back post where Dan Taylor was waiting to head in the winner and complete an excellent comeback.
