Bodmin started well playing down the slope and after several near misses scored when a shot from Roland went through the keepers legs, although this was probably the impressive keepers only mistake of the game. Shortly after we went 2-0 up when from a corner Thomas hit the ball into the top corner of the Padstow goal for his first ever league goal. Padstow came back and scored two goals just before half time to level things up.
The second half, apart from a couple of breakaways from Siam and a shot which hit the bar, Bodmin were mainly outplayed by a more determined Padstow side who scored a further 3 goals without reply and but for good defending from Roland, Thomas and keeper Ciaran the score would have been even more.
A disappointing result as the boys know that they can play better but as long as they learn from the manner of the defeat and realise that just because you take a 2-0 lead the game is not over as Padstow proved, you still need to maintain the concentration and effort for the remainder of the game.
But it is only a game and they are only 8/9 years old, and so far the skill, attitude and commitment of all players has been second to none...... Training as normal tomorrow.
