Lyme Regis U14s 0 Okehampton Argyle U14s 1 LYME started well with a good chance for an early goal just missing the target. Alex Donnallay, who stood solid in defence, prevented Lyme from scoring soon after. At the other end, Andy Milton saw his effort saved by the keeper. Both teams were evenly matched and with driving rain and a stiff breeze it was difficult for either team to hit the target. The second half started with Okehampton going slightly downhill. Bradley Ausden made a great run and was unlucky not to score. The Lyme keeper failed to clear the ball and it fell to Ausden ? he passed back to Corey Burns who volleyed the shot home for Okehampton. Lyme quickly took the ball into Okehampton?s end and were unlucky not to score. Thomas Boother then took a brilliant corner with the Lyme keeper pulling off a good save. In the final moments, Ausden headed the ball towards goal but saw it just go over the top. Man of the match: Ben Williams. Okehampton U12s 2 Colyton U12s 3 OKEHAMPTON kicked off their season with an exciting game. Colyton managed to score three times in a first half in which Okehampton did most of the attacking. Ruben Forrester gave Colyton?s defence all kinds of problems with some attacking runs down the right wing but Okehampton were unable to make their first half chances count. The second half saw Okehampton playing with more urgency. They pulled back with two goals scored by Billy Searle. With confidence buiding throughout the whole team, Okehampton were unlucky not to take any points from the game. A positive start to the season. Man of the match: Ruben Forrester. Colyton U11s 0 Okehampton Argyle U11s 9 OKEHAMPTON started their season, having newly joined the East Devon League, with this away match. The team have worked hard at pre-season training to adapt to the new leagues rules which involves larger pitches, increased length of play, now 30 minutes a half and the introduction of the offside rule. Argyle started slowly, taking a while to settle although never looking in danger of conceding a goal. The scoring was opened by Ben Bickle who shot home from the edge of the area. The second came from Tallan Burns. Okehampton continued to improve and gave a strong second half performance. Their efforts at training paid off and their superior fitness showed as they dominated the rest of play. Argyle showed a good display of teamwork with the midfielders providing some great balls through to the strikers. A further seven goals were scored. Ross Voaden scored a hat-trick, Jamie Mallett (2), Ben Jarvis and a second from Tallan Burns. Men of the match: Ross Voaden and Ben Jarvis. This week home to Lyme Regis, kick-off 12.30pm.
