THIRTY clubs are through to the last 32 of the Cornwall Intermediate Cup have now been decided following Saturday’s ties.
The competition which is for sides in both Premier East and West of the St Piran League as well as Division One East and West isn’t regionalised at all, meaning teams from West Cornwall could have to head up to the east of the Duchy.
With St Piran League East’s top two of Newquay Reserves and their Callington Town counterparts having been knocked out in the previous round, Saltash United were the highest standing team left from the East.
They made the long trip to Mounts Bay Academy to tackle Newlyn Non-Athletico and won 6-1 with Josh Bloxham (2), Ben Waters, Harry Pethick (2) and Henry Ireland all on target.
Five other sides from Premier East are through.
Torpoint Athletic Reserves won 3-1 at Bodmin Town with all of the visitors’ goals coming in the first half through Aidan West (2) and McKenzie Hyatt. James McNary pulled one back 10 minutes after the restart.
James Hocking’s hat-trick sent Gunnislake trough by the same scoreline at home to St Agnes, while St Blazey Reserves were 4-2 victors at league rivals North Petherwin despite trailing 2-0 inside eight minutes through Ben Harrison and Tom Ellacott. However, the Green and Blacks roared back via Sam Clifton, Jack Ratcliffe, Ross Willcock and Zephan Grigg.
Both Sticker and Kilkhampton saw off West oppostion.
Sticker edged out St Day 2-1 with Jack Walker and Taelan Chapman’s goals enough, while Ryan Thomas’ brace helped the Lambs win 3-1 at Troon as Jack Corfield also netted.
The only side in the competition who play their league football outside of Cornwall also advanced as North Devon League Premier Division high-flyers Morwenstow battled back to win at Premier East outfit Millbrook Reserves.
The Brook led at the break through Byron Grieves, but Jake Gilbert and Finn Reeve sent the Greens through.
A huge shock in the West of the county saw Premier West leaders Penryn Athletic fall to a home defeat to neighbours Mawnan from the league below.
Liam Dent’s brace gave the visitors a 2-0 lead at the break, and although Josh Wood pulled one back, the villagers held on for a famous victory.
Mullion have nine wins from nine in the league as well as knocking Newquay Reserves out of the Cup, and the Seagulls were 3-1 winners at Ludgvan.
The Hurlers kept the game goalless at the break, however the Seagulls powered on with Jonty Wheatley, Jevon Pryce and Felix Paterson on target. Nathan Goodspeed grabbed the hosts’ goal.
Dropship put seven past West Cornwall rivals St Buryan to progress, while Illogan and St Just also made it through. Illogan saw off St Newlyn East 2-1, while St Just’s awkward trip to Lizard Argyle proved fruitful thanks to Harvey Troon and Caleb Marsden.
There were two all Division One ties.
Dobwalls Reserves from the East edged out league rivals Gerrans and St Mawes United 2-1 thanks to Thomas Powell’s 89th minute winner, while Tregony saw off Falmouth United 5-2. The home scorers were Ryan Steed (2), Callum Cook, Dylan Fox and Jamie Taylor.
Two ties are still to be played as Penzance Reserves host Nanpean Rovers next Saturday (2pm), while this weekend sees Division One East leaders Liskeard Athletic welcome Premier West outfit Porthleven (2pm).
