In our first Junior Cup final ever we beat St Coloumb Major 2-0 (goals by Stuart Reynolds and Mark Uren) at Blaise Park and brought the Cup to the West for the first time in many years. This alongside our Championships made an incredible season
ST DAY 2 ST COLUMB MAJOR 0 This was a historic day for St Day Football Club as they brought the Junior Cup back to the west for the first time in six years on their first ever appearance in the final.
The current Whirlwind Sports Falmouth-Helston League leaders met the current Duchy Premier League leaders who were sporting a long, unbeaten run, but it was the Saints who triumphed.
It was a tight game played in a very sporting manner decided by two pieces of brilliance in favour of St Day.
St Columb undoubtably dominated the early exchanges with Luke Wheldon looking a constant threat up front and they played some good flowing football, but lacking a cutting edge in front of goal.
St Day keeper Paul Hoskins had a fantastic game gathering the ball on numerous occasions with safe hands on his last game of the season before going away with the Navy. He pulled off a great save from Wheldon after 30 minutes as he tipped over a 25 yard drive which was St Columb's best chance of the first half.
At the other end Bryan Hawke had a strong run in to the box only to be denied by a good save and Perran Cooke slipped two balls through which were just too heavy with his strikers well placed.
St Day had to defend well right through the game as St Columb had numerous corners and free kicks as they tried to take advantage of the wind blowing down the pitch.
Honours were even at the break but in the second period St Day started to pressurise with Mike Elliott going close as he broke through and brought a cracking save from the goalkeeper.
The breakthrough came in the 65th minute when ace marksman Stuart Reynolds cut inside from the left and unleashed a 25-yard drive which dipped and decieved the goalkeeper which was tipped on to the bar but just crossed the line for his 50th goal of the season.
St Columb kept pressurising but they were unable to breach the solid defence of Gareth Jones, Darren Buckley, Danny Watts and Spencer Knibb.
Then came the moment of the game as Mark Uren broke down the right wing holding off his defender before cutting in, beating two defenders and expertly curling in a low shot with the outside of his right foot for his first-ever goal sparking wild celebrations from team mates and supporters alike.
St Day manager Andy Tasker said: "I am absolutely delighted for the club, players and committee, it has been a long road to the final and a lot of credit must also go to St Columb for making this such a special occasion.
"It was touching to see tears in the eyes of several of our committee who have given everything to the club for many years and deserve the success we have achieved."
