Carlsberg South West Peninsula League Premier Division Newton Spurs 3 Tavistock 7 FOR readers who remember those bygone days of halcyon football, the Lambs supporters could have been forgiven for thinking they had been transported back to Hampden Park in 1960 with Puskas and Di Stefano inspiring Real Madrid against Eintract Frankfurt to a fifth straight European Cup win in majestic style. Of course, in reality the only real similarity on a cold afternoon in Newton Abbot where the Spurs entertained Tavistock was the score. The home side opened brightly, exerting heavy pressure on a Tavistock side seeking revenge for a 4-2 reverse earlier in the season, and it was no surprise when they took an early lead with a scrambled goal. Tavistock were struggling to get a foothold in the game and were fortunate to keep the deficit to one goal. Slowly however they got a grip in midfield and it was evident that Hobbs and Conday were too quick for a somewhat ponderous home defence. After a series of missed opportunities it was Mark Conday who ran behind the defence to coolly slot home the equaliser. Soon afterwards Conday again broke clear and was crudely taken out by the home keeper who rightly saw the referee brandish a red card. From this point Tavistock took control and goals came at regular intervals. Conday and Hobbs each scored hat-tricks and their link up play was excellent. To round things off for the Lambs Hobbs broke clear on the right and his cross was steered home at the far post by a gallivanting Matty Allen. Though Tavistock allowed the home team to score two more goals the match ended in a 7-3 thumping for the Spurs who were quite frankly no match for Tavistock in any area of the pitch. l This week the Lambs are on their travels again with a trip to Elburton Spurs.
