Okehampton ladies’ seconds 6

Sidmouth and Ottery ladies’

fourths 0

OKEHAMPTON ladies’ seconds were on winning form this Saturday with a convincing win over Sidmouth and Ottery fourths.

The home side lacked the final touch and composure in front of goal during the first half. With the whole team playing higher up the pitch, and mostly all the play being in the opponents’ 25, Oke became dominant. In the few occasions when the ball slipped through the forwards, defenders Debbie Pritchard, Sandy Douglas, Rachel Adams and Anna Luxton were there to send the ball back up the pitch.

Despite strikes from Captain Emma Wiseman and Alex Collins they were unable to score and was 0-0 at half time.

Oke captain Emma Wiseman rallied the troops at half time and they were soon rewarded when from a short corner Emma Wiseman scored the opener.

Wide players Zoe Curtis and Ellie Shayler began to feed forwards Alex Collins and Tilly Dixon, with Collins scoring the second. Another goal soon followed from Viv Weatherington for 3-0.

Alex Collins then slotted the ball into the goal to make it 4-0.

Sidmouth and Ottery came back and found a hole in Oke’s defence but their few shots on goal were saved by goalkeeper Lucy Wiseman.

A quick ball was taken by Anna Luxton resulting in Zoe Curtis running the ball down the pitch and in to Alex Collins, for her hat-trick.

Lots of quick and precise passing saw Okehampton’s player of the match Ellie Shayler secure the final goal resulting in a 6-0 win.
