DJM Howe U16s
Tavistock Town 5
Manstow 5
TAVISTOCK raced into a 3-0 lead within 15 minutes with goals from James Young and Sam Turner (2).
Playing with confidence, Tavistock created a number of chances to increase the lead before half time with quick one touch football which kept the more direct Manstow under severe pressure.
Manstow came more into the game, using their direct brand of football and were causing problems for the home side's defenders.
Two goals in quick succession put the visitors back in the game, but a brilliant long range effort from Charlie Gale restored Tavistock's advantage to two at the break.
The second half was a more even affair with Manstow's long ball approach causing more problems to the home back four.
A second goal from James Young just after the break seemed to put the initiative back with Tavistock, but an injury to Charlie Gale disrupted the flow of the midfield and Manstow continued with their direct approach to earn a point with the help of some inept defending from the home side.
