Bodmin Town 4, Cullompton Rangers 1

Bodmin stayed on course for a treble of trophies by cruising through to the Throgmorton Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night after seeing off Cullompton at a misty Priory Park.

Already into the last four of the Cornwall Senior Cup and well placed to win the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League title, Bodmin romped to victory in an attractive quarter-final tie.

Cullompton only arrived at the ground 20 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time of 7.45pm and they made a shaky start, with Ben Smallridge and Sam Matthews having chances to open the scoring for the home side inside eight minutes.

But the Devon side had a golden opportunity of their own after ten minutes when a right wing cross from Aaron Doble picked out Roger Ingham in the six yard box but he lifted his shot over the bar.

They were made to pay for that glaring miss by two Bodmin goals in seven minutes. Olly Brokenshire opened the scoring after 15 minutes with a left foot drive from 20 yards and he then turned provider for Adam Carter to make it 2-0 in the 22nd minute.

Bodmin seemed well in control but Cullompton reduced the arrears 12 minutes into the second half with a cool chipped finish from Raith Plant, rewarding some enterprising attacking from the visitors.

But Bodmin restored their two-goal lead within three minutes with the influential Brokenshire providing a pinpoint cross  from the left which defender Tom Chambers volleyed home from six yards.

Chris Luxton spurned a couple of excellent chances to increase Bodmin's lead and it was left to man of the match Brokenshire to show him the way with his second goal of the game in the 88th minute after unselfish work by Carter.
