Tavistock AFC Ladies 3

Phoenix Club Ladies 1

TAVISTOCK AFC Ladies were overjoyed with their victory in Sunday's first game of the season against visitors Phoenix Club.

The home side, led by captain Donna Hone, maintained possession throughout much of the first half yet frustratingly failed to reach the back of the net.

Phoenix managed to break away and put their only goal of the match past great new signing Della Maloney, resulting in a half time score of 0-1.

Tavistock dominated the second half of the game putting a great deal of pressure on Phoenix defence.

Pre-season injuries to some of the Tavistock players enabled the new additions in the team to show their worth; superb defending from Katie Glasspoole and Lisa Curtis, and great goals in quick succession from Candy Capeling, Beccy Gordon and our old favourite Winger Weeks.

Tavistock Ladies played consistently good football throughout the game despite the glorious sunshine enjoyed by the spectators.
