Landscape league
Tavistock U16s 12
Okehampton U16s 31
TAVISTOCK started this derby encounter in style with a fine try in the first minute by Monty Burdfield following an excellent run by Richie Coker.
Okehampton quickly found their stride with a powerful demonstration of forward play and were soon level following Tavistock's inability to cope with the visitors more powerful pack.
The home side continued to work hard but missed tackles and hesitancy in the loose allowed the Okes to take the lead before half time with a well worked try.
The second half started for Tavistock with another early try by Monty Burdfield who made a superb 50 yard run to come within two points of the visitors. Despite Tavistock's best efforts, the Okes' pack were however beginning to dominant the match and quickly scored three further tries and two conversions.
Despite the defeat, there were some notable performances from Tavistock from Sam Jessop, Danny Gibson, Ash Toll, Billy Boulton and Ryan Bragg.
