Tavistock U13s 32

Okehampton U13s 12

IN front of a large crowd of supporters from both sides Okehampton kicked off, and both sides put everything into the game until the final whistle. Tavistock were unlucky not to score early on with Charlie narrowly missing a try under the posts, but made up for it soon after when Braidy carried the ball forward from a Tavistock scrum and Charlie opened the scoring. The pressure on Okehampton never let up, and Braidy slipped in for a second try after great support play by Morgan, effortlessly converted.

Tavistock rucked and tackled exceptionally well, and ended the first half 17 points up.

Oke piled on the pressure in the second half, but fierce defending from Tavistock kept their score down to two tries, one from a penalty and one after slogging it out close to the Tavistock try line. Great runs by Braidy and Tom up the touchline, and accurate kicking by Harry kept much of the play in the Oke half, and Tavistock scored three more tries, taking them to a convincing victory.

This was the best display this season from Tavistock which is growing in confidence with each match they play.

OKEHAMPTON continued their unbeaten ruin with a hard fought victory over local rivals Tavistock.

The first half was an even affair as both sides scored one try apiece to leave the score at 7-7 at the interval. Oke took the lead after Ethan Hoggins, who had a superb match, bulldozed his way through the Tavy defence, Corey Holliday converted. Tavistock levelled after some weak Oke backs' defence to tie things up at the break.

In the second period, Okes' scrummage dominance began to take its toll. Greg Daniel was in irrepressible form and he scored a try hat-trick after some outstanding individual efforts. Corey Holliday also sniped over for a score from scrum half and the whole side began to play with a growing confidence. Conversions for Oke were added by Leon Horne (2), Jack Ogbourne and Corey Holliday to complete the home sides' scoring. Tavistock won a consolation try just before the final whistle that their willingness to throw the ball about deserved.
