Saints keep pressure on top two with derby win
WITH leaders Falmouth Town suffering their second defeat of the season in a 3-0 reverse at Illogan (see feature match) St Ives Town remain hot on the heels of the top two after Saturday's 2-0 home win over near neighbours Ludgvan at The Saltings.
Both St Ives goals came in the first half with Joel McWilliams continuing his impressive run of recent form by giving the Saints the lead, before fellow striker Jowan May headed home the second.
Ludgvan's sixth defeat of the season leaves the Hurlers sitting fifth from bottom and only three points above the relegation zone.
It was also a good afternoon for Pendeen Rovers, who came from behind to defeat Penryn Athletic reserves 3-1 at Kernick.
