Mens 1st Team: Tavistock 8-1 East Devon

Despite the 4-2 win away at East Devon earlier in the season the league leaders were expecting a tough game against a side who play good, structured hockey. With the game tied at 1-1 at half time it was going as expected with the visitors pressing the home side quickly and denying them time on the ball.  Tavistock took the lead when goal machine Mark Forshaw flicked a penalty corner low and hard past the keeper, before the home side had chance to build on the lead the visotrs had drawn level following some fine individual skill and shot beat Grahame in the Tavi goal. The first 10 minutes of the second half followed the pattern of the first with the home side having the majority of the possession but it was a moment of individual brilliance that changed the game. Former Mount Kelly student Barney Megicks ran 60 yards with the ball beating several players before his reverse stick shot beat the keeper at the far post.  The goal kick started the Reds and soon after Forshaw claimed his second of the game with another trademark thunderbolt that the keepr did not get close to saving.  From this point the goals just kept coming, Will Jones diving in at the far post scored the fourth after Forshaw gave up the chance for his hatrick to set up his fellow front man, the ever impressive Richards scored the fifth, after he won the ball in midfield he exchanged passes with Forshaw before deflecting the ball in with his reverse stick.  Skipper Tom Honey found himself unmarked in the D and was able to slap the ball home for the sixth goal before Dom Stanbury added another.  The final goal was scored by Richards who slipped the ball past the advancing keepr from a tight angle.  Next week ther Reds travel to Exeter to face ECV Hornets before Sunday's HA Vase game against Wootton Bassett, the prize for the winner is a place in the last 8 in the country, the game starts at 13.00 at the Mount Kelly astro.

Goals were not an issue today in the Ladies fixture against Penzance.
Armstrong put the first goal on the score sheet within the first few minutes of the game and Shillaws opening goal followed shortly after from some brilliant linking of forwards Lamb and Gaspar.

Gaspar and Nevin added to the goal talley in the first half with well worked efforts throughout the team and polished finishes. Tavistock dominated the first half of the game with a half time score of 9-0.

Tavistock soon found form again with another 4 goals finding the back of the net in the second half settling the final score as 13-0.
