Jacka, Harvey

St Ives Town 1

Duncan

A KYLE Harvey strike 13 minutes from time was just enough to see the Fishermen to a narrow victory.

Port started well, with Neil Bartlett a threat up front. But Town's Chris Lock and Jack Hughes forced fine saves from keeper Mark Benner, before Ross Duncan hit the home bar with a 25-yard free kick.

After a goal-less first half Keith Jacka fired the home side ahead on 50 minutes when he drove a fierce shot past visiting keeper Tony Simons.

Duncan levelled the scores 15 minutes later when he sidefooted home Danny Paynter's cross. But it was Harvey who struck the decisive blow with a curling shot.

St Ives: T Simons, E Matthews, R Duncan, A Turner, C Lock, M Fox (D Paynter 60), C Richards, M Allen, E Wilkes (C Pugh 75), J Hughes, J Curnow.

Man of the match: Harry Spraggett (Porthleven).
