Camborne School of Mines 2

Tavistock men's firsts 3

TAVISTOCK gained another three points in what proved to be a very difficult away fixture.

The Reds were keen to avenge last season's defeat, a result which ultimately cost them the chance of promotion and an immediate return to South one.  

Tavistock were missing defenders Paul Marchant and Rory Carr but welcomed back Ollie Richards, Henry Chamberlain, Ryan Passmore, Pete Hutchings and Will Jones.

Tavistock took an earlier lead through Simon Fenwick following superb work from Ollie Richards; Richards picked up the ball on the half way line and was able to run through the Camborne defence.

Another quick counter attack from Camborne drew them level shortly after the opening goal, the sides went in 1-1 at half time although CSoM could easily have been leading if it was not for the fine form of man of the match Matt Graham, in the Tavistock goal.

Fenwick rifled in his second of the game following a good build-up play and a decisive pass from midfielder Andy Berry.

The Reds began to pile on the pressure and could have scored enough goals to put the result beyond doubt had it not been for the CSoM keeper making a number of saves to deny Stanbury, Richards, Chamberlain and Sargent-Megicks.  

Tavistock did score a third from a well executed penalty corner; Fenwick claimed his second hat-trick of the season and 15th goal in total thanks to a pass across the D from Berry.

There was a tense finish to the game following a second CSoM goal and a red card being given to Tavistock defender Jim Harding.

Tavistock slowed the tempo of the game maintaining possession of the ball and sensibly ran down the clock to claim their fifth win of the season.
