Plympton Grammar School Old Boys 3

TAVISTOCK battled hard to gain maximum points in this closely contested game. Plympton Grammar School Old Boys were sitting third in the division and fielding a strong side, looking to gain maximum points against Tavistock. The home side had others ideas and took the game to the visitors from the starting whistle.

With the assistance of Fenwick in midfield, Tavistock looked a composed side and worked the ball across the pitch and up both flanks. Richards and Elliott looked dangerous from the outset and it was following a flowing move through midfield that Richards scored the first.

The game ebbed and flowed both ways and following another confident attack, PGSOB's broke out of their defence and moved the ball at pace down the length of the pitch to equalise.

The second half started much as the first with Tavistock in control of the pitch and Elliott again worked the ball into the visitors' D and slotted the ball under the keeper to take Tavistock ahead.

PGSOB's always looked dangerous but the defensive pairing of Stanyer and Gott looked in control and Pugsley was again commanding in goal.

Honey and Dunlop continued to work hard and were creating numerous breaks either side of the pitch.

It was after a PGSOB's attack that Tavistock gifted the visitors an equalising goal, following a stray hit across their own D. Within minutes and Tavistock still reeling from the last goal saw a deftly deflected goal take PGSOB's into the lead.

The home side did not give in and continued to attack and scored what looked like a good equaliser, but were denied some points when following the goal being initially given, the decision was reversed by the other umpire.
