Truro C 2

THIS was a much improved performance by Tavistock and they were unlucky not to take all three points.

With a great team effort, work rate and communication, the performance was lifted 100%.

From the start, Tavistock dominated possession and the lively front line of Elliott, Andrews and Walker kept pressuring the visiting defence.

After some great interplay from the midfield between Hanson and Honey, the ball was moved to Elliott who slotted in from a tight angle.

The pressure continued and Tavistock came close more than once to doubling the score. Donnelly slipped into the front to maintain the effort and Venton supported well and moved the ball around.

Against the run of play, Truro worked themselves into the back of the D and poked in a loose ball. Tavistock did not let this impact on their play and continued to work the ball well through the channels.

At the start of the second half, Tavistock started to feel the pressure themselves, as Truro increased their own momentum and started to dominate possession. It was during this period that the home side went a goal behind from a well taken penalty corner.

 Tavistock started to work themselves back into the game and after an inspired substitution, Anning scored from a dynamic short corner with a hard strike.

Tavistock continued to pressure but could not manage to capture the full deserved points.

Thanks must go to the umpires, who maintained a calm control through a challenging game.
