Helston returned to winning ways in SWPL Premier last night with a 4-2 victory at St Blazey.

The victory saw them climb two places into the top half of the table.

Hughie Howlett, on his return from Navy duties, scored twice to put the Blues in command, before the hosts hit back with two goals of their own.

In a breathless first half captain Jamie Thomson put Helston back in front with a tremendous long range effort, before top scorer Mark Goldsworthy made the points safe with a fourth goal in the second half.

Falmouth Town went down 2-1 at Saltash, who leapfrogged them in the table, while Tavistock won 3-0 at Godolphin.

Elburton Villa kept their survival hopes alive with a 3-3 draw at Callington.
