SWPL PREMIER WEST ROUND-UP – SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14

BODMIN Town picked up a crucial victory in their quest to avoid finishing in the bottom two after seeing off basement dwellers Millbrook 3-1 at Priory Park.

Town, who gave debuts to defenders Tom Manual and Cameron Copp having joined from Torpoint Athletic Reserves, were the better side for most of the game but had to wait until the 55th minute to take the lead when Callum McGhee’s brilliant free-kick beat Tom Burstow.

Joe Munday grabbed the second on the rebound 18 minutes from time and the points were sealed seven minutes later as Harry Probyn finished off an overload by finding the top corner.

Millbrook pulled one back in injury-time via a fine finish from Tom Rothwell.

The result saw Bodmin move on to 15 points and up to 13th in the table before Saturday’s vital clash at Launceston who were beaten 7-1 by promotion-chasing Newquay.
