Newquay 0, Torpoint Athletic 2
TORPOINT Athletic deservedly came away with the points at Mount Wise on Saturday on an afternoon to forget for Newquay.
Captain Shane White and Liam Thornton grabbed the goals for Athletic against a lacklustre Peppermints, who weren't helped by injuries to Jack Bray-Evans and Jamie Devine inside the opening 25 minutes.
Bray-Evans, who was pictured before the game with his recently awarded Cornwall County Youth player of the year trophy, was forced to hobble off after just seven minutes after pulling up with a hamstring injury that is likely to rule him out for the remainder of the campaign.
And Devine will certainly not play again this season after suffering a serious foot injury. The defender was carried off the field, before being taken to hospital by ambulance. Manager Glynn Hooper is unsure about the extent of the injury but admitted it didn't look good for the left-back.
It got worse for Newquay when White powerfully headed the ball past Tom Blackler in the 28th minute from Gary Williams' corner.
With 63 minutes played Thornton made sure of victory with a brilliant volley from White's cross.
With Josh Sims carrying an injury the midfielder was replaced by goalkeeper Sam Trudgian in the 67th minute and Blackler moved out field to partner Luke Weldhen in attack.
The Peppermints did manage to test Sam Borthwick on a couple of occasions, but when Weldhen hit the post with ten minutes remaining, it was clear this wasn't to be Newquay's day.
