When this match was scheduled to take place on Good Friday morning it was the perfect opportunity to re-complete the South West Peninsula League grounds. When it then got moved to the Thursday evening, it was even better, as it meant making a proper weekend of it. Mullion had played their first game under their newly installed floodlights last week and tonight’s match attracted a number of fellow ‘hoppers, all off to various other matches over the next few days.

The game was 10th versus 2nd in the league table and despite the score line, remained competitive throughout. Wendron scored within a minute and when they doubled their lead after just ten minutes, it looked like it might turn into a bit of a routing. Mullion did come into it more, but rarely threatened and when Wendron added a third goal three minutes into the second half, it was game over. Further goals looked sure to follow, as the visitors headed against the crossbar and had a 25 yarder tipped over by the ‘keeper, but it wasn’t until we were into the final ten minutes that goal number four eventually arrived, finishing low into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

With two games remaining, Wendron trail leaders St. Blazey by six points and also have a goal difference inferior by seven. It is not impossible for them to still win the league, but probably unlikely.
