Dobwalls 3 Porthleven 1

[The Governor]

I drove up to watch the youthful Port side at Dobwalls on Saturday.

Despite playing for a large part of the game with 10 men the home team dominated.

The first goal scored by the young striker was out of the top drawer and veteran striker Dominic Richardson made it 2 before Dobwalls were had a player sent off, from where I was standing the decision looked to be harsh. The referee didn't have the best of games which spoilt it for both sides but you cannot play without one.

The hosts extended their lead almost from the restart with a long range volley from the young striker. Porthleven pushed forward but couldn't break down the resolute Dobwalls defence until they were awarded a penalty just before the end which they scored from to give them a slim chance.

The young Dobwalls striker certainly has an eye for goal but his work rate when he doesn't have the ball leaves a lot to be desired. He could learn a lot from his strike partner if he is willing to listen which would surely make him a far better player.
