St Newlyn East made hard work of the encounter at St Stephen and should have made the score line more emphatic that it was. The Saints miss-firing form in front of goal continued - missing gilt edged opportunities to add to their tally.

The scoring was opened on 14 minutes when centre back James Turpie hit a left foot shot from a corner in to the roof of the net. However the hosts were level just 3 minutes later when a long clearance deceived Newlyn's defence and hesitancy from the Saints' goalkeeper Nathan Prentice allowed the striker to get to the ball first - knocking it around him and in to an empty net.

Newlyn continued to waste chances with both Owen London and Dan Ball missing good opportunities when well placed to score. Newlyn' wastefulness in front of goal came back to haunt them when inexplicably they left the home team's striker in 20 yards of space and he was given the freedom of the pitch to run on to a clearance form a Newlyn corner to score unopposed a minute before half time.

Newlyn made changes in the interval with the introduction of Ross London and this had an immediate effect with his hold up play and running in behind the St Stephen back four causing the hoe side a threat that Newlyn lacked in the opening 45 minutes. Newlyn drew level when fine interplay down their left wing saw the returning Dan Parsonage smash his shot home 10 minutes after the restart.

A Jack Thompson freekick was met with a firm header by Ross London to increase Newlyn's advantage on 67 minutes and they completed the win when the younger London - Owen coolly finished with twenty minutes remaining.
