Third goal is a gift

Ilfracombe Youth U 11?s . . . . . 1

Okehampton Argyle U 11?s . . .3

ILFRACOMBE kicked off the match and Okehampton began to pile on the pressure.

Just before half-time and against the run of play Ilfracombe scored the first goal of the match.

Okehampton came out for the second half determined but it took several good saves from Okehampton?s goalkeeper Hayden Bond before they settled to the second half.

Persistence finally paid off with a fine goal by Thomas Boother to level the score.

Harry Smith then made an excellent shot which rebounded off an Ilfracombe player and into the net.

The Ilfracombe goalkeeper worked hard but a fumble in the goalmouth and a misread back heel gave Okehampton their third goal by virtue of an own goal.

Man of the match Matthew Doidge. Next match against Bideford Terriers at home Sunday. Ko 11 am.
