Mens Team Vs Tavistock

Okehampton Men’s 2nd team travelled the short distance to Tavistock for the local Derby looking to avenge the loss from earlier in the season. Okehampton started on the backfoot, with the early part of the game spent defending their goal. The defence of Morgan snr, Lewis-Humbert, du Pre, Jolley and Nesbitt held the attacks at bay, preventing any shots on goal. Okehampton started to work as a team, breaking the midfield down with the formidable Morgan jnr and Covington starting to enable some breaks up-field, with Jones misfiring the ball just wide of the upright. This spurred Okehampton into action and new drag flicker Bonnet fired the ball straight at the keeper. Tavistock cleared the ball as far as Webber who slotted the ball back through to Covington, who turned, and calmly slid the ball under the keeper. Hearing the sound of the backboard was what Okehampton needed.

The second period started much as the first half ended with Okehampton keeping up the attack, but legs were tiring a bit allowing Tavistock to have a few breaks with alot cut out by Morgan snr and Jolley. Tavistock upped their game, and tried to score a 2nd goal, but this was thwarted by Watts, Jolley and Morgan snr. Okehampton had a short corner with 10 minutes left, with the ball dropping for Morgan jnr to fire the ball home. The game finished 2-1 to Okehampton lifting them back to 4th position.
