OKEHAMPTON Under 8 youth football team played their first proper game on Saturday.

They played a friendly fixture against North Tawton U8s in a local derby. The teams had three mini games with Oke winning two and North Tawton one.

Okehampton U8s are coached by Adam Bussell and ably supported by Dave Ware and Harrison King.

Adam said: ‘Notwithstanding really chilly conditions the lads from both teams were really enthusiastic, had a great attitude, gave it their all and had a lot of fun. It was a really rewarding morning and well supported by many parents and families of both teams.’
