Ladies 2nd XI Vs Plymouth Uni

Sunday 12th October 2014

Tavistock 11 Plymouth University 0

Tavistock Ladies 2nd XI victorious over Plymouth Uni 4th XI

Despite being a player down Tavistock went out enthusiastic and determined, controlling play from the push back and gaining a quick first goal from a converted short corner with a shot from Thea Crosby excellently deflected by Rosie Crosby.  This great teamwork between Crosby sisters continued with three more goals in the first half giving Tavistock a 4-0 lead at half time.

Tavistock went out strong in the second half, determined not to concede any goals.  An early goal came from Judy Lowton and another followed with a well placed cross from Becca Martin knocked in by Rosie Crosby who then scored again shortly after.  The team kept their structure and their work rate up allowing a cross from Becca Martin to be tapped in by Judy Lowton. 

Tavistock maintained possession throughout much of the game, though when Plymouth Uni did break through goalkeeper Eleanor Mills-Hicks was there to clear the ball; one of these clearances was picked up by Becca Martin, passed to new recruit Chezzie Moore and moved on to Rosie Crosby who found the back of the net.  The pace continued to be kept up and a ball crossed over the goal by Thea Crosby was converted by Judy Lowton.  The final goal was scored when Rosie dribbled round the defence and slotted the ball past the keeper.
