Ladies 1st XI Vs Dart

Okehampton ladies1  -4

Dart 1sts - 0

Saturday saw Okehampton ladies 1st  team take on Dart. It promised to be a competitive game with both teams aiming for the top spot. Okehampton started well and heaped the pressure onto Darts defence. There was some fantastic midfield play from Lucy Wiseman and Molly Marvin in the centre, which allowed the attackers to get shots on goal. The first goal came from and great run from L Wiseman, who combined with Emily Rowlands, who turned and hit at goal. The strike was saved by the keeper, but Elly Jenkins, was able to follow up and score a well earned score. Despite all the attacking pressure, at half time, the score remained 1-0.

After half time, Dart came back with determination and speed, but they couldn't break Oke's solid defence. As their legs tired, Okehampton kept working and a beautiful solo break from Rowlands saw her cut through the Darts defence and create and score a fantastically controlled goal. There were further goals from Hannah Whitely and Elly Jenkins.

Great work rate and commitment for the ball saw Okehampton finish the game 4-0 up. It was a fabulous team effort to the end. Oke are now sat 5 points clear at the top of petroc 1.

Next week Oke 1sts travel to face Exe 3’s in another top of the table clash.
