With the Christmas break behind them Tavistock ladies were looking to open up the second half of the season with a win. Earlier in the season the ladies had a close fought game against the Tiverton side with a 3-3 draw. The ladies started well with the urgency they needed and putting immediate pressure on the opposition. It didn't take Tavistock log to open up the score board and take the 1-0 lead with a clean strike from Armstrong from the edge of the D. With the home side on a high it didn't take them long to add to the score line, Erin Shillaw scored a first for the club on her debut game following a rebound from a short corner. Tavistock's constant pressure resulted in a third goal when captain Scott converted a penalty flick following a defensive foot on the line, the home side closed the first half with a healthy 3-0 lead. The back line of Colston, Mills-Hicks, Pollock and Boulle were proving a tough line to crack but in the odd occasion the visitors broke through keeper Viggers was out quickly to deny Eagles from scoring a consolation goal. Tavistock kept control of the game throughout the second half and saw another attacking opportunity following some great linking from forwards Lamb and Lindsay which set Armstrong up with her second goal of the game, following a nicely taking goal on her reverse. The ladies finished the game with a convincing 4-0 win and next week look to go on to face Exeter University.
