Magpies stutter at Wendron

Penzance scrambled their way to an away point against lowly Wendron on Saturday. However fortune smiled on the Magpies as Millbrook were just edged out by a strong Wadebridge side which means the gap between the two sides has grown to 6 points.

The Magpies started the quicker of the two sides. Steve Hancock sending Liam Devine clear only for the experienced right mid to blaze his shot wastefully over the bar. The Magpies continued to assert themselves on the game as Wayne Quinn headed over from a corner. Devine went through again this time rounding the keeper but he was thwarted by a supeb sliding stop from the clarets left back. Steve Hancock was next to spurn a great oppurtunity. The clarets keeper could only palm away a Stuart Reynolds free-kick. The ball landed at Steveo's feet but he failed to put the ball into an empty net. The profiligacy continued as Hancock was brought down in the box but sent the resulting spot kick ito the stand. In the second half it was Wendron who took the initiative pinning the Magpies in their own half and when Adam Miller fired them ahead in the 81st minute it looked like Penzance would be leaving with nothing. However substitute Nick Tragenza pulled us back onto level terms in a goalmouth scramble in the last minute of stoppage time.
