There is no doubt that we threw three points away.”

St Ives Town manager Ricky Marheineke was left seething after his side threw away more precious Southern League Premier Division points.

Saints were undone by two late goals as a 2-1 advantage turned into a 3-2 defeat at Merthyr Town last Saturday – an outcome that left Marheineke’s post-match mood even more volatile than the earthquake to hit that part of the world in the build-up to the game.

His men were masters of their own downfall as they squandered a stack of fine chances before skipper Charlie De’Ath needlessly conceded a stoppage-time penalty which settled the contest.

“I’m very angry, I’m very frustrated and I’m very disappointed for the majority of the players who performed well,” said Marheineke.

“We matched Merthyr in the first half before dominating a large part of the second half, ye we have ended up losing a game in which we should have been out of sight.

“Leaving with nothing is not good enough and I’ve let the players know exactly that.”

There is no doubt that we threw three points away.”
