Torpoint claim stunning victory
TORPOINT Athletic staged an incredible second half comeback to defeat Liskeard Athletic 4-3 at The Mill.
Darren Edwards men had trailed 3-0 with an hour played after goals from Matt Hawes (2) and Robbie Almond put the Blues seemingly in command.
But despite losing manager Edwards to the stands for comments made to the officials, Darren Hicks' 72nd minute sparked Torpoint's revival.
And after Liskeard were reduced to ten men following a red card to Phil Bromhead, Paul Baker struck home Torpoint's second goal.
