Marjons 3

THE young Marjons side quickly attacked but the experienced Okehampton men's hockey team soaked up the pressure.

A quick call out of defence released Simon Garland on the left side and a slick interchange of passes put Chris Luxton into space — he made no mistake with the final touch to open the scoring for Okehampton.

Marjons replied with a short corner which showed the inside of the post. Okehampton regained the lead soon after — Richard Jones dispossessed a Marjons player, carried the ball down the pitch and placed his shot perfectly under the keeper into the net.

Okehampton's man of the match was keeper Andrew Harvey.

Marjons levelled the scores from a short corner, after Harvey had saved the initial strike.

Okehampton pushed for more goals and had chances to go back into the lead, but did not capitalise on them.

Marjons, having missed a penalty flick, took the lead and the points with a goal in the dying moments.

This week Okehampton play Truro on Saturday and Newquay on Sunday. Both games are at Okehampton College.
