Okehampton ladies 1st team started their match against Exe 3 very well with Jo Moppett scoring a quick goal only minutes after the whistle was blown. Short bounce passes between Hannah Whiteley and Kim Davey, showing great control, enabled Okehampton to get around the Exe players successfully and led to Moppett scoring the second goal. Both Ailsa Gibb and Sophia Marshall played well on the wings, widening the play and enabling Laura Parsons to efficiently switch the direction of play and create space. A superb third goal was scored by captain Kim Davey who chipped it right into the corner, followed by the fourth goal scored by Annebelle Rademaker who used control and skill to get it past the goalie. Okhampron went into the break 4-0 in the lead. A break from an Exe player meant that the opposition scored a goal but Nicky Stoneman and Carol Taylor pressed back strongly so that no further advances from Exe could be made. Alice Wiseman in goal proved to be steadfast making a number of saves, including an impressive dive, while Nicky Pedrick and Amanda Sim marked tightly and made sure that the ball didn't travel into our D. The fifth goal was scored by Hannah Whiteley who was in the perfect position on the post, followed by an impressive goal by Lesley Bingham aided by the speedy Louise Weller. Exe came back at the last minute to score their second goal but could not dampen the spirits of the Okehampton team who finished the match with an impressive 6 goals to 2. Okehampton don’t have a league match next week but face Plymouth Uni on Sunday in the first round of the Devon trophy.
