Torbay ladies 1

Tavistock ladies 1

WITH a full squad back together the Tavistock ladies were hoping to get back to their winning ways, travelling away to Torbay who sat below them in the league table.

Tavistock started well and immediately piled the pressure on to the home side’s D, following some smooth linking play from the back line through midfield and into the threat of the forward line the reds were unfortunate not to convert.

With the chances flowing it did not take too much longer for Tavistock to pounce and some great ball skills from Lamb junior through to Nevin, who laid it perfectly for Fenwick to smash home and take the lead.

Tavistock held the 1-0 lead at half time and went into the second half with determination to hold on to that.

Torbay came back strong and proved slightly more of a threat to the Tavistock defence, and a loose ball in the D and bring the score to 1-1.

Tavistock kept positive but after a few unfortunate blows lost defenders Pollock and captain Scott to yellow cards; the visitors adapted well to having only nine players and played some impressive hockey across the field and showed great composure as a squad.

With only minutes remaining Tavistock were back to 11 players and were fighting for all, with several short corners and goal scoring opportunities the ladies were unfortunate not to convert.

Despite some great hockey and true deter-mination Tavistock were unfortunate to come away with a draw from what they can only describe as a physical game.
