Southern two

United Services 0

TAVISTOCK men's first team put in a solid first half performance and went on to claim all three points.  

The home side started quickly and looked keen to capitalise against an under strength United Services side.  

The first goal came when Tavistock's Si Fenwick flicked a penalty corner high to the keeper's left. A second soon followed when Ollie Richards scored following some fine individual skils from skipper Tom Honey.

The home side could have scored more but were denied by some last ditch defending at the post; at the end of the match the reds had hit the frame of the goal on five occasions.  

The third goal arrived when Si Fenwick converted from a penalty stroke which was awarded when a United Services' defender prevented a certain goal when the ball hit his body on the line after a well worked penalty corner routine.  

The second half was not as free flowing as the first and only one goal was scored, a great strike from Andy Berry after some fine link up play with Mount Kelly student Megicks.

Tavistock man of the match was Paul Marchant.

The win means Tavistock now move onto 45 points with just six games remaining; although if third place West Dorset win their matches they can only reach a maximum of 45 points and currently have an inferior goal difference in comparison with Tavistock — meaning one point will mathematically guarantee Tavistock promotion.
