TRELEAVEN PUTS IN A 5 STAR PERFORMANCE.

Crow's show no mercy to their old SCFL colleagues Lingfield FC as they met last night in the SCEFL.
Not just a one man show though.
When the final score is 7-2 it's quite natural for anyone looking at the scoreline to think to themselves that the match was a rather one sided affair and that the losing side were rather poor. After all, you only have to look back a few weeks to a game we played in for that to be the case.
However, the visitors, Lingfield FC looked lively throughout the first 45 minutes of the game at least last night and started very brightly, playing at a high tempo and even had the first chance of the match but had no player at the back post to supply the final touch as the ball fizzed across the Crow's six yard box.
They had an early free kick which was well defended by the home side and the early exchanges between the sides gave no hint as to the entertainment that was to follow however, after 4 minutes the Crows took the lead following a quick breakaway as Treleaven was able to play in Ryan Waterman whose measured shot beat the Lingfield goalkeeper, Hambley, and nestled nicely into the bottom corner of the net.
The home crowd who had, up to that point at least, been a bit nervous were now happier but not so over confident that they didn't think Lingfield were out of the match already. The Lingers responded with a deep cross that was headed over by Sintim who may have just got under his effort, but again it did show the ability they had when going forward.
However, it was 2-0 on 7 minutes when Waterman and Treleaven combined again following some delightful play and Treleaven picked his spot as he calmly beat the Lingers goalkeeper. The home supporters were now delirious, especially as the all-important second goal has been missing for the Crows in recent matches and has cost them dearly.
The next 15 minutes were very much nip and tuck, a Warren cross was well defended by the Crow's defence and the fleet-footed Sintim and the left back for the Crows, Cameron, were having a right ding-dong battle with the young full back putting in a performance far beyond his tender years.
Treleaven had another effort saved by the goalkeeper but then moments later things got decidedly worse for Lingfield when Treleaven chased down a ball over the top of a rather static defence and his lofted shot gave the stranded Hambley no chance and it became 3-0 after 23 minutes.
The away side were a bit shell-shocked to find themselves 3-0 down without playing that badly but it was to get worse for them only 3 minutes later as Treleaven, who was by know thinking he could do no wrong, danced through the Lingers defence, putting the ball in the net for 4-0 and earning himself a hat trick inside 26 minutes of the first half.
Lingfield were still dangerous when going forward and Hampson, replacing Czanner in the home goal, had to make one great save to keep the scoreline blank for the away side whilst both Barton and Rich went close, as did Waterman but Hambley saved well when left exposed to a one-on-one situation.
Shammy and Sintim were always a threat to the Crows and both Barton and Charlton hit the visitors crossbar whilst Hampson made a wonderful double save and, if to rub salt in the wounds, the home side made it 5-0 just before half time when Treleaven played in Barton who duly put the chance away.
You can bet the Lingfield management accentuated the benefits of their play during the break but any thoughts of a second half fight back were duly ended when, after 48 minutes, Treleaven chases a through ball to finish easily passed a rather bemused goalkeeper for his fourth goal and to make it 6-0 on the night.
With a 5-0 lead at half time and an early goal in the second, it's quite natural that the pace and energy levels drop slightly and the advantage to make early substitutions is taken by the management, therefore, Barton is replaced by Ridley after 60 minutes and not long after, Damarli Morrison replaces Rich and Roberts replaces Waterman.
The changes seemed to favour the away side for a while and Joel O'Hara made it 6-1 as he tucked away a loose ball in the Crows area to prevent Hampson keeping a clean sheet. However, this woke the Crows up and Morrison played a delightful reverse pass for Treleaven to run on to slot the ball home and make it 7-1 to the Crows.
It was not the end of the scoring though as Lingfield scored their second after 88 minutes through Chan Quan who put another loose ball in the penalty box in the Crow's net and it was 7-2. There was time for one more chance, Ridley went on one of his terrific runs and hits a thunderous shot that cannons back off the woodwork, had it gone in, it would have been a contender for goal of the season.
Good all round team performance and Treleaven deserves all the credit he will get for his five goal haul on a night when he could just not do anything wrong in front of goal. However, young Callum Hampson deserves a special mention as well for his overall game and distribution last night.
