Mens Team Vs Devonport Services A

Okehampton A faced Devonport Services A team hoping to get another theee points and continue their winning streak. Within the first five minutes Jarvis ran the ball up the wing firing a cracker of a ball across the d straight to the back post but the chance went astray. Attacking with purpose, Bowles ran up the wing finding Ash at the side of the D who crossed it to Jones who once again went close. Okehampton were then awarded several shorts corners, but the experienced Devonport defence seemed to absorb the attacks with ease. After captain L-Humbert’s inspirational team talk stirred the young Oke team into action, Oke were ready to get into Devonport’s D and finally get the ball across the goal line.

As the second half began Okehampton started using their wide players; Ben Bowles found the ball at the top of the d and crossed the ball to Ben Jones hit the ball against the back board making it 1-0. Shortly after Devonport went on the attack and were awarded a short corner and then a penalty flick after the Oke defence illegally stopped the ball on the line. Jim didn’t quite make it to the ball and the score became 1-1. Neither team could muster another goal and the game ended with the honours even at 1-1.

On Sunday the side played a rearranged game with Caradon B. A decisive 3-1 win takes the Oke team to the top of the Verde Recreo SW div 2. Next week, they will be travelling to Plymouth for a top of the table clash with PGSOB C team.
