1st Team suffer St. Austell defeat

Saturday afternoon saw Perranporth welcome fellow championship challegers St. Austell to Ponsmere Valley. Chris Phillips gave St. Austell the lead after about 30 minutes after being setup by Dan Nancarrow, St. Austell then found themselves 2 - 0 up after Dan Giles finished from Neil Stateford's cross. In the second half Perranporth came out detemined to get back into the game and were rewarded when a surprise error by St. Austell keeper Gary Penhaligon enabled new Perranporth signing Danny Ford to pull a goal back. Perranporth then kept up the pressure and they thought they had got their equiliser but the goal was ruled out for a foul on the keeper, and St. Austell held on to claim a 2 - 1 victory. Perranporth will see this as a set back in their challenge for the championship, though they still have games in hand on the three teams above them and they still have to play St. Austell at Poltair Park on Saturday 27th March 2010. Perranporth's next game is against Truro City Reserves on Saturday 13th March 2010 at Ponsmere Valley, kick off will be at 3.00pm.
