Second League Match Victory For Newquay

Newquay Ladies AFC claimed a decisive 5-1 victory in their away match against Padstow for their second league game of the season.

With solid defensive play keeping Padstow’s chances to a minimum, Newquay capitalised on their opportunities. A series of sharp link-ups led to Bobbie Smyth scoring the first goal just before half-time, assisted by Liz Mears, giving Newquay a deserved 1-0 lead going into the break.

In the second half, Newquay knew they needed to make the most of their chances, but Padstow managed to equalise, bringing the score to 1-1. However, Newquay remained confident, and their persistence paid off. Keira set up Kaz for her first goal, putting Newquay back in the lead at 2-1. Momentum grew as they pressed for more goals, and a handball in the box awarded Newquay a penalty. Liz stepped up and calmly slotted the ball home, extending the lead to 3-1.

Continued Pressure and More Goals

Newquay Ladies didn’t stop there. With brilliant teamwork and attacking play, Olympia scored the fourth goal after an assist from Bobbie. Even after a formation change and player rotation, the team’s confidence remained high. In the final ten minutes, Snowy added a fifth goal, assisted by Allie, securing a convincing 5-1 final score.
