Mens Team Vs Teign A 

Okehampton A faced a strong Teign side in the second league game of the season. Teign quickly got into action with several attacking runs down into Okehampton’s half but were repelled by the midfield trio of Rowlands, Glanville and Hughes. A defensive clearance from Bingham fired the ball up to Jecks who dribbled through the midfield, and passed on to Ash; Jones was on the receiving end, but his shot was well saved by the Teign keeper. A mistake by Okehampton defence led to a short corner which Teign calmy flicked into the net. Shortly after, Teign increased their lead from another short corner making it 2-0 at half time.

In the opening play of the second half a string of quick passes between Smith, Rowlands and Ash put pressure on the away sides defence, as the ball bobbled around the circle Glanville pounced to tap the ball into the net. Teign responded quickly with penetrating runs into the Okehampton circle; Captain Lewis-Humbert heroically dived in front of the goal to deflect the shot and keep the score 2-1. Okehampton’s defence of Bowles, Bingham, Yelland and Lewis-Humbert continued to keep the score at 2-1 despite Teign’s increasing pressure.

As the game played out neither team could find the extra goal and the game ended 2-1 to Teign A.

Okehampton A’s next game is away in Penzance.
