AGAINST a physical and spirited Estover side the Tavistock team continued to play an excellent passing game under immense pressure. Striker Sam Hicks scored his second hat-trick of the tournament - including a superb 25 yard strike which went into the top corner of the goal.

Matt Davidson was a constant threat with his excellent dribbling at opposing defenders and Sam Northmore controlled midfield possession. It was an outstanding result and thoroughly deserved.
