Devon & Exeter Intermediate 4

Pitchers 1

Okehampton Argyle Thirds 5

OKEHAMPTON were forced back by the strong wind and the opposition pushing into the half. But they broke the deadlock when a looping shot from Paddy Blatchford found the corner of the net.

Minutes later they went two up when a ball from Tony Pickering found Jerome Whatley, who chipped the goalkeeper from the edge of the box.

Pitchers continued to press and only a fine one-handed save from Neil Clift kept the opposition out.

In the second half Okehampton pushed forward and after neat passing Robbie Sandercock beat the keeper.

The goal of the game was scored when Dave Grimes played a one-two with Lee Gilbert then raced the length of the pitch to rifle home.

Pitchers were then awarded a penalty and duly converted.

The final goal came after a goalmouth scramble when Adam Mortimer slotted home.

Next game home to top side Amory Rovers, meet 2.15pm.
