Okehampton U7s 6 Bude U7s 2 THE match against Bude U7s boasted enthusiastic Okehampton players. Kai Middleton, Josh Burgoyne and Cole Pengelly scored fantastic similar tries. All three ran the length of the pitch, with handy footwork and agility managed to weave their way through the Bude players to score. Oke worked well as a team and by keeping their line and tagging Bude players, the visiting side were only able to score two tries. Good ball retention and accurate passing resulted in tries four and five by Josh Burgoyne and Tom Michie respectively. Quick thinking Daniel Turney picked up the loose ball, turned for space and grounded the try to seal a well deserved win for Oke.
