Tavistock travelled to Bridgewater this week and again did not have the luxury of selecting a full squad as they were without Sam Willetts, Bob Carr and captain Tom Honey, the performance that the side produced again shows the strength in depth that the club currently has. The first half saw Tavistock apply pressure on the home side from the first whistle, Fenwick came closest to opening the scoring but was denied by some impressive last ditch defending from one of the Bridgewater centre backs. The centre back pairing of Chevin and Jeffery look as formidable as normal with Berry and Marchant both looking to join the attack from half back. With eight minutes remaining of the first half time the home side grabbed a goal against the run of play, not phased by the goal Tavistock remained composed and deliberate in attack, their reward came with just four minutes left in the half when Ben Hancox capatalised on a rare defensive mistake from Bridgewater, Hancox showed the composure to take the ball round the keeper before finding an open goal. The Tavistock goal machine Mark Forshaw gave the visitors the lead when he converted with a powerful flick from a penalty corner. The midfield trio of Langton, Blonden and Stanbury were linking well with Forshaw and Richards in the front line and looked a constant threat and capable of scoring more goals. The home side looked dangerous on the break but the Tavi backline were as disiplined as ever in their positioning and Bond was rarely troubled in goal. The win sees Tavistock maintain top spot in Conference South on goal difference over Exeter Uni, next week Tavistock host Dart at the MKC stadium.
