Penzance play their penultimate game of 2023 this afternoon. And a really tough test it will be too with second-placed placed St Austell, fresh from an impressive midweek victory away to leaders Liskeard Athletic in the WC Parson Cup, the visitors to Penlee Park (kick-off 3pm).
Having suffered only one league defeat on their own patch all season, Penzance’s home form has been hugely impressive. But St Austell’s away record is even more spectacular – they are unbeaten on the road in all competitions. “After their Cup result in the week, they will come here full of confidence,” says Ashley Waters. “For our part, we need to keep focusing on ourselves and show the commitment of recent performances.”
The Magpies manager’s task is made harder by the loss of regular goalkeeper Mikey Flores who, in training this week, broke an arm for the third time in a fifteen months. Also missing are Mark Vercesi and Charlie Willis, though thankfully centre-back Liam Andrew is available have recovered from Covid.
