Southern two

Okehampton 9

Truro B 1

OKEHAMPTON maintained their top of the league status with a dominant display, turning on the style to brush aside there opponents.

Straight from the start the hosts took control and looked threatening with every attacking move; it did however, take 10 minutes before they broke through and opened the scoring, the two forwards combining well and Tom Forrester coolly reversing home his shot under pressure. The lead was soon doubled when a superb bit of play saw the Truro keeper save a shot but only as far as James Rogers who pounced to hit the loose ball into an empty net.

The home side then conceded with only the visitors first shot on goal, taken well from the top of the area.

Not to be disheartened the hosts piled on more pressure, Lewis Day came on and straight away made an impact; Day fed Mark Parsons who's angled stick took the ball past the keeper for a simple finish from Ed Howard.

Day again ran riot to feed Luke Miller and he slotted home for the fourth. The fifth was added from Parsons, who ran straight past three from a long corner and his cut back was turned into the goal by the unfortunate keeper before Parsons netted the sixth with a hard strike from a short corner.

The second half saw the home side continue to control proceedings. Josh Speak added a seventh with a drag flick from a short corner.

Truro never really threatened at all in the second period and anything that did get upto the front man was soaked up by the solid defence.

Chris Luxton combined well on the right with Parsons and his cross was put agonisingly wide by the diving Miller. Speak then hit the post before skipper Parsons scored a fortunate goal when the keeper failed to keep out a bobbling reverse strike.

The final goal came again from the captain and man of the match Parsons after good work from Andy Paterson.
