Blazey given mighty scare in Charity Cup Quarter-Final


Polperro gave hot favourites St Blazey a mighty scare before losing out in a pulsating nine- goal quarter-final in the mist and mud of Killigarth. The East Cornwall Premier League minnows looked dead and buried with 16 minutes to go against their South West Peninsula League opponents when Blazey player-manager Stuart Morgan put the visitors 5-2 ahead. But Polperro were having none of that – and two goals from Dave Gilbert in the last 10 minutes set up a nerve- wracking period of time added on.


And Matt Pengelly’s side came desperately close to forcing an equaliser in the last seconds but Gilbert’s effort was cleared off the line. All credit to Blazey for hanging on, especially after playing the last 70 minutes with only 10 men after Ollie Deadman had been shown a straight red after

being judged to have held back Polperro striker Rob Spencer in a breakaway. But Polperro also earned huge respect for their performance. Despite being reduced to 10 men so early, St Blazey led 3-0 by half-time as two goals from Joe Stone and a Lee Whetter penalty seemed to put them in total command. But Polperro got the perfect start to the second half when Spencer fired in from distance in the first minute and nine minutes later, from a breakaway,
