Ladies 2nd XI Vs Torbay 2

Okehampton Ladies 2 v TORBAY 2 (Loss 2-3)

Okehampton ladies 2 had an unfortunate loss to Torbay 2 this Saturday but undoubtedly had one of their best-played games yet. Beginning with a rocky start as the opposition scored their first two goals, the Okehampton side fought back and the ball was in control of the home side for the rest of the half. With some excellent running on either side of the pitch by Alex Collins and captain Emma Wiseman, the ball was manoeuvred into the D where Alex Collins neatly slotted it in the back of the net. A second goal came shortly after again from Alex Collins and with tight marking from the defence it kept the opposition at bay so that midfield players Viv Weatherington and Anna Speak could transfer the ball back up the pitch.

Starting the second half on high spirits, the Okehampton ladies passed the ball swiftly between them in the attempt to score more goals. Despite some great saves by goalkeeper Lucy Wiseman, the numerous short corners led to the third and final goal to Torbay. Okehampton still didn’t give up and some good hits down the pitch by Hannah Hawes set some close goal scoring opportunities. Despite the near loss, Okehampton ladies 2nd team finished on a positive note, knowing they had played their best.
