Devon Cup

Tavistock CFC ladies 9

Morley Rangers ladies 1

TAVISTOCK ladies began at a fast pace but play was scrappy, which allowed the young Morley side to break though. However, the home defence worked hard and remained strong to keep them at bay.

Half way through the first half, Tavistock's fortunes changed, with substitute Sarah Blowey prodding the ball home from a Donna Hone cross to put Tavistock in the lead.

Tavistock's second soon followed with a flick on from Blowey to Becky Gordon who lashed it home. Tavistock came back with a third, with a cross to the far post by Blowey, which was guided home by Kirsty Jones.

Just before the half time whistle, player of the match Carleigh Bammens played a long range pass to Gordon who flicked the ball over the defenders head to put Tavistock 4-0 ahead.

After the half time, Tavistock continued with some great passing and teamwork. Tavistock won a free kick. With a convincing dummy from Becky McMullin, Blowey curled the ball home making it 5-0.

A superb corner from Robyn Hammond was met by Jess Eales to score her first of the season and Tavistock's sixth.

A run by Becky Turner down the wing resulted in a great cross met by Blowey to finish superbly for their seventh goal. Next came the goal of the match. Tania Coker demonstrated some superb skill on the wing turning her defender inside out. She then delivered an accurate cross for McMullin to drill home.

Tavistock were caught out by a run by Morley's pacey striker after a long through ball. Zoe Stock got her fingers to the shot but its velocity saw it hit the back of the net.

Tavistock ended the game on attack with Bammens coming close and Blowey hitting her fourth wth a great individual goal.
