Okehampton travelled to West Exe for a much anticipated game.  They started the game a little nervous and took until the 11th minute when they took the lead by a great move with Ben Bickle chipping the ball over the top to Ross Voaden's feet for him to tap it in.  The next goal followed a goalmouth scramble with Ben Bickle having two attempts at goal before finally curling it home past the goalie. 

Okehampton were dominating the game when Ryan Gross was making a break but was brought down in the penalty area, which unfortunately they didn't capitalise on when the West Exe goalie made a great save.

In the second half, Okehampton wanted to keep their lead and Nathan Andrew took advantage of a lapse of concentration from West Exe when he shot the ball past the goalie.  Ben Bickle made a great run through the opposition before firing the ball home for Okehampton's fourth goal.

Midway through the second half West Exe took advantage and scored from a free kick, closely followed with a goal from a penalty.  Okehampton got over this setback and they came straight back at them with Ollie Crimmins making a great run and scoring.

Okehampton showed some good team play and came away with a well deserved win. 

Man of the Match:Ryan Gross

Tiverton U13's put in an excellent team performance in their first league game of 2010 and were back to winning ways with a 4-2 win over a very strong St Martins side.  From the off the yellows started the brightest working hard for each other all over the pitch and in doing this were gaining a lot of possession causing problems for St Martins defence and with a good run down the right hand side Jack Rainey shot a well driven srike across goal low into the bottom left hand corner to give Tivvy the lead and within 5 minutes with further pressure from Tivvy Reece Kingdom punched a great pass into space for Jack Rainey to turn and score a well taken strike for his second of the game. 

Although Tivvy were having a lot more of the ball in the first half St Martins were also trying hard to get the ball into Tivvys half to create chances of their own but Tivvys back line of Jack Dickson, Ross Holmes, Marcus Old and Max Atifeh were working extremely hard to cancel out any immediate comeback from the visitors.  Ollie Morgan and Reece Kingdom were winning the central midfield battle , Will Pinnick and Scott Billings were also in fine form down either side of the pitch and linked up well with the hard working forward line of Jack Rainey and Scott McMillan,  further pressure paid off with a well taken corner from Reece Kingdom finding the head of Will Pinnick who calmly headed the ball into the net for a well deserved goal and to put Tivvy 3-0 up. 

Although Tivvy were well on top in this half St Martins never gave up and managed to get in behind Tivvys defence to shoot high into the roof of Tivvys net giving the keeper Ryan Clarke no chance, this seemed to spur the hosts on once again and with some neat exchanges from Will Pinnick and Jack Rainey who crossed the ball into Scott Billings to coolly side foot the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the net to go 4-1 up at half time.

In the second half as the pitch became heavier and heavier St Martins contested this half very well and scored the only goal of the half with another excellent long range strike.  Although tired legs were there to be seen from both sets of players further chances were spurned from both sides with the game finishing 4-2 to Tiverton.  Also contributing well to the game was Lewis Fraser who had to adapt to right back early in the second half and the fresh legs of Matt Pengelly, Josh Bruce and Jay Buckingham who can count himself very unlucky not to have been on the score sheet.

Man of the match goes out to the whole squad who worked tireless for each other throughout this game and got their just rewards.  Well done boys, keep up the good work.
