Lords XI 2 Okehampton Reserves 6 LORDs XI knocked Okehampton out of the cup two weeks ago, so Argyle were looking for revenge on their opponents. The first half started at a great pace with both teams looking to take advantage in the early exchanges. After some great link-up work from Sandford and Drew, Callaghan found himself clear and coolly slotted the ball past the Lords? XI goalkeeper. Lords were soon level with a shot deflected in off an Argyle player. Okehampton regained the lead soon after. The impressive Callaghan hammered home from close range. Lords managed to equalise again. Clift, who replaced Layman in goal this week, showed his class with a stunning save just before half time to make sure it was all square at the interval. Both teams produced an even better second half, knowing that a win would enhance their position near the top of the table. Argyle were under the cosh for the early exchanges. A strong defensive display soon enabled Gibbs and Pengelly in the heart of Argyle?s midfield to produce their superb passing range, releasing King and Ricky Drew down the flanks. These efforts were rewarded when King was fouled on the edge of the box. Drew?s unstoppable free kick flew straight into the to corner of the net making it 3-2 to Okehampton. Soon after Drew was taken off and replaced by Tom Williams, who gave Argyle a two goal cushion with a neat finish from close range. Callaghan scored Argyle?s fifth, which was also his hat-trick. Callaghan, after his great afternoon, was substituted, giving Matt Jackson his first taste of reserve team football. Soon after he created an early ball into the box to produce Argyle?s final goal. Williams latched on to Jackson?s cross to bag his second goal of the match. This week, Thorverton, away.
