Sidmouth C 0
Okehampton A 6
OKEHAMPTON travelled to Sidmouth hoping for a win to keep their promotion hopes alive. As the midday heat kicked in Okehampton A pressured the Sidmouth defence.
Consistent pressure eventually saw Okehampton A take the lead through man of the match Josh Balsdon. Sidmouth replied with some well worked attacks but were not able to score, due to good defending by Ian Miller, Tim Morgan and John Yells. Oke eventually doubled their lead through Josh Balsdon. Oke kept on the attack and were rewarded with another goal converted by Adam Cockayne, finishing off another well worked move to make it 3-0 at the break.
In the second half Sidmouth came forward but could not finish off some well worked moves. Some good work from Will Cooper resulted in a goal from Josh Balsdon making the score 4-0. The game was all but tied up now, but it was made sure when Jake Lloyd dodged tackles in the D and finished with precision. Sidmouth attacked but were unable to break through a rock solid visiting defence. Persistent pressure from Okehampton near the end resulted in a short corner which was well struck by Lewis Day to finish of the game. Overall a well-deserved win for the team.
