Tavistock 12 : Okehampton 31

Hi Warriors, 


Clearly we have permitted Okey to take the first derby match, but I am convinced that we can win the return fixture having taken the lessons out of today's match. Match report below.

Training this week will be confirmed by Wednesday, as the floodlights are still out of action following damage by the contractors who are laying the new first team pitch.

Thanks very much to today;s 'Traffic Wardens': Sue Dawe, Ian Longden and Ian Coker.

Match Report

Playing their 3rd match in the Landscape League, Tavy started this derby encounter in style with a fine try in the first minute by Monty Burdfield following an excellent run by Richie Coker. Okehampton, whilst stunned, quickly found their stride with a powerful demonstration of forward play and were soon level following Tavy’s inability to cope with the visitors more powerful pack. Tavy continued to work hard but missed tackles and hesitancy in the loose allowed Okehampton to take the lead before half time with a well worked try. The second half started with another early try by Monty Burdfield who made a scintillating 50yard run to come within 2 points of the visitors. Despite Tavy’s best efforts, Okey’s pack were however beginning to dominant the match and quickly scored 3 further tries and 2 conversions to win the match 12 – 31.

Despite the defeat, there were some notable performances from Tavy. Sam Jessop, Danny Gibson, Ash Toll and Billy Boulton all gave their all in the front row but Ryan Bragg was justifiably named as man of the match following an awesome display of tackling.

Onwards & Upwards with Barnstaple next week's visitors.
