Camels' up to fourth after victory at Mousehole

SECOND half goals from Jacob Turner and player/manager Bobby Hopkinson continued Camelford’s good form as they left Mousehole with a 2-0 success.

The Camels found the struggling hosts a tough nut to crack in the first half, the closest the visitors came to scoring was Kyle Flew heading narrowly over from a corner, while Joe Parr was denied by a superb last-ditch block.

The home team started well after the break, but were undone 10 minutes in as good play by the midfield saw Matt Gilmour play in midfield partner Turner who sat down the defender and goalkeeper with a fake shot before slotting in.

Mousehole skipper Tom Hands was sent-off following an altercation with Gilmour, and they were left with a mountain to climb with 20 minutes remaining as Hopkinson slotted in from the left side of the box with the help of a sizeable deflection.

The visitors saw sub Kenley Dyson have three goals ruled out for offside as they looked to improve their goal difference, but it remained as it was.

Camelford head to St Mawgan tomorrow night (Tuesday) in the last 16 of the Cornwall Senior Cup before welcoming Launceston on Saturday in the league (3pm).

On the victory, Hopkinson said: “It was another good win where it was pleasing to get another clean sheet and score a couple of goals. The players’ are enjoying it at the moment so long may it continue.

“We’ve got a couple of tough games this week, but we’re hopeful of having Liam Higgins back soon which will be a massive boost for us.”
