UPLYME 1sts travelled to Culm 1sts for a tough away match against a very experienced starting 11.

The first half was a real battle on a tricky pitch, cutting up from the first minutes. However, Uplyme took it to the home side and it was Marcus Symonds with a bit of magic that broke the deadlock. Cutting inside the fullback, he hit a swerving strike from 30 yards that left the keeper with no chance.

It could have been better as James Beddows blazed over from five yards after Fin Mclean had struck the crossbar with a dipping free-kick.

In the second half, both teams continued to play good football and Culm used their solid forwards effectively to hold the play and equalised through a neat shot past keeper Todd Lowe.

In the final seconds, Symonds rode a dangerous tackle in the box – when most players would have gone to ground – only to shoot wide and the game ended all square at 1-1. The crowd all praised both teams for the quality of play and Uplyme remain unbeaten in four.
