A lone strike from distance which dropped under the bar was the only thing dividing the teams at the interval. The second half saw James forcing two good stops from the keeper before Tavistock went two up from close range. Dean Wilson had the opportunity to reduce the arrears from the spot but narrowly cleared the bar. Colts continued to play good football with fine battling from Robbie Kerr and Jack McVeigh but Tavistock claimed a flattering 2-0 victory.
