RESULT FRIDAY 11th MAY

UNIVERSITY 4 FENITON 6 (Devon & Exeter League Division 1)

The first team concluded their league campaign with an error strewn victory at Universities Salmon Pool Lane complex which, although not quite Hackney Marshes, is still a fair old trek from the changing rooms to pitch. With Feniton already having won promotion and the students adopting for the most part a light-hearted approach to proceedings, this proved to be an instantly forgettable contest despite its ten goals. Fenny went in front on 20 minutes, Andy Hawkins scoring after a Paul Dowling shot cannoned back off a post. Ben Allen made it two, getting the final touch after the home keeper missed his catch and Charlie Selley added a third when slotting home Dowling’s cross. At this point it should have been a case of just how many Feniton would go on to score, but instead they inexplicably let University back in the game by conceding two soft goals. Firstly, Stuart Blackmore’s attempted clearance rebounded off Martin Swannell and fell nicely for a home forward to score with ease, and then, as the defence backed off they scored with a shot that sailed past a stranded Matt Kingdon and prompted wild celebrations. HALF TIME 2-3 At the interval wannabe goalkeeper Chris Palfrey took over from Kingdon with Sam Geake replacing him in midfield and Craig Bowden entered the fray in place of Swannell. Dowling soon added a fourth goal, rifling home a free-kick which was too hot to handle, but back came the students to get their third with the Fenny defence once again AWOL. Following this, it was Uni’s turn to change goalkeepers and also replace their centre-back with one at least a foot shorter! Feniton’s response was to introduce John French, normally a striker, at left-back in place of Blackmore and the game was now teetering on the brink of becoming a farce. Selley netted Feniton’s fifth (their 100th league and cup goal of the season) with his second of the game and a minute later he completed his hat-trick when a home defender passed the ball straight to him in front of an open net! University had the final say two minutes from time when they scored their fourth and then followed the best moment of the evening, the sound of the final whistle!

FENITON TEAM: Matt Kingdon (Geake), Swannell (Bowden), Dyer, Johnson, Blackmore (French), Allen, Hawkins, Mark Kingdon, Palfrey, Selley, Dowling

RESULT WEDNESDAY 9th MAY

AWLISCOMBE UNITED 4 FENITON RESERVES 2 (played at Feniton - Devon & Exeter League Division 6)

With both teams changed and ready to play, the mist that engulfed the Awliscombe ground made it impossible for the game to go ahead there so it was quickly down the hill to Feniton. Awliscombe scored three times in the opening 20 minutes before John French pulled one back before the break with a fine goal. The ‘home’ side added a fourth midway through the second half before substitute Ben Campbell netted a second for Feniton 5 minutes from time.
