Tavistock put in another impressive performance to win 7-0 and maintain top spot in Conference South. The home side got off to the perfect start when Dom Stanbury opened the scoring inside 10 minutes, the Reds mifielder was the quickest to react when Forshaws penalty corner effort was initially saved by the Dart keeper. The lead was soon doubled when Forshaw found himself unmarked at the far post to flick the ball in the goal following some clever link up play on the left bewteen Willetts and Fenwick. Tavistock dominated possession in the first half keeping the ball for long periods of time and looking very deliberate in attack, scoring lots of goals did not appear to the main objective for the team, their patience and attacking threat was rewarded in the last two minutes of the half when Summer signing Sam Blonden fired home from a penalty corner. Mark Forshaw doubled his goal tally for the game from the penalty spot early in the second half after the body of a Dart defender prevented the ball crossing the line after a Fenwick flick from yet another penalty corner, soon after Forshaw cleverly played in Fenwick who had a clear run in on goal and looked like he would score the fifth of the game for the home side but as the defence made the effort to close him down it left space for the Reds skipper Tom Honey to exploit - Fenwick passed the ball inside and Honey made no mistake as he flicked the ball high to keepers left hand side and into the roof of the net. Tavistock had a number of other chances many of which came thanks to the fantastic attacking play from right back Andy Berry, the Reds defender was one of the biggest attacking threats in the game as they were quick to adapt to three at the back to enhance their attacking options. Two further goals followed late on, Stanbury and Carr both deflecting in well executed penalty corners. The win sees Tavistock keep top spot ahead of Exeter University on goal difference with just two games left before the Christams break.
