TM Trophyman U13s 3

Tavistock Town U13s 2

TAVISTOCK went 1-0 down but showed good character to gain a penalty through Sean Cleave?s persistence. The spot kick was coolly slotted away by captain James Follett.

Town went into the lead through the lively Daniel Adams who caused the Trophyman defence problems all game.

Town were now on top and excellent midfield play from Luke Stephenson, Ross Leggett, David Smyly and James Follett provided the platform for many more attacks.

A minute before half-time Trophyman equalised as Tavistock lost concentration. Trophyman scored again in the first five minutes of the second half despite excellent defending from Stephen Law, Michael Morgan, Scott Pluckrose and Ollie Payne.

The introduction of Paul Waddle changed the momentum of the game and Tavistock were unlucky not to equalise. And they were kept in the game by excellent goalkeeping from Karl Griffiths.

Despite a lot of effort from Tavistock, who deserved at least a share of the points, Trophyman managed to hang on for the win.

Plympton U14s 1

Tavistock Town U14s 2

RIGHT from the kick-off Tavistock showed they meant business with excellent passing, movement and solid defence.

Coulston had the ball in the net but was ruled offside as the pressure mounted on Plympton. After accurate passing between midfield and defence McCall scored direct from a corner but Plympton bounced back with Webber having to make the first of a number of crucial saves.

The Tavistock midfield of McCall, Smith, Hammond and Fazakerly worked hard to prevent Plympton?s efforts to reverse the pressure.

Tavistock were using quality inter-play to attack their opponents resulting in the goal of the match after Coulston laid the ball off to McCall who delivered a quality pass that allowed Lyle to run into space and beat the keeper.

Just before half-time Coulston hit the post following a nice through ball from Smurden.

During the second half Tavistock lost their shape as Plympton fought back, resulting in sustained pressure on the defence and scored.

Bray came on to play right midfield as Tavistock held out for a well earned victory.

Man of the match: Mark Webber. Manager?s man of the match: Andrew Smurden.
