Okehampton Ladies’ 3rds 2

Penzance 2nds 5

OKEHAMPTON ladies third team played host to Penzance seconds team on Saturday in the Trelawney 2 league.

Penzance were placed in the top third of the league with some very experienced players in their team so Oke knew this would be a tough fixture.

Throughout the first half the teams had equal possession but the Penzance team were more goal hungry pouncing on every scoring opportunity. Oke’s defenders Joey Drake and Rochelle Woollacott worked together cutting out several Penzance attacking moves but the clever Penzance forwards created enough space for a decisive shot on goal to give them the lead.

They consolidated their lead with an unstoppable cannon ball-like strike from a short corner. Just before half time Penzance increased their lead to 3-0 with another well taken goal.

The second half saw Oke step up their game determined to turn their possession into goals. Emily Rowlands and Larissa Goodger dominated Oke’s midfield putting constant pressure on the Penzance players and distributing the ball to their attackers.
