Football: Bude Ladies FC v Launceston

Bude Ladies FC played the local derby against Launceston at home on Sunday 28th October. Bude began well and piled pressure on the visitors with Sarah Badham and Tegan Nichols both goal hungry up front.

It was only a matter of time before they scored and Leanne Stanbury trundled one in to make it 1-0. Bude then had two further goals disallowed. They continued the attack yet it remained 1-0 at half time.

The second half saw Bude against the wind but strong again. They were playing the better football but still no goals. It was a break from Launceston that saw the next goal, a loose high ball from a tackle, bouncing into the empty net.

With both sides wanting the win the last thirty was entertaining with chances at both ends. It wasn't to be for Bude though as another Launceston break saw Jill Haines knock in to earn the win with the final score 1-2.
