Okehampton ladies’ firsts 5

Dart ladies’ firsts 1

IN contrast to last week, Okehampton felt at home in the wind and rain in what was going to be a tough game against Dart.

Okehampton pushed from the start, piling pressure on the Dart defence allowing Jo Moppett to have a clean hit to score the opening goal.

Quick passing between Kim Davey, Annebelle Rademaker and Jo Moppett led to Hannah Whiteley hitting the second past the keeper.

Scrappy play from Oke then made Dart look dangerous on the attack and the Okehampton defence of Nicola Stoneman, Nicky Pedrick and Carol Taylor had to work hard to keep Dart at bay. However, the visitors succeeded in breaking through to make the score 2-1.

After a stern talking to from captain Kim Davey at half time, Okehampton came out fighting.

After a series of short corners, a fast ball from Sophie Whiteley to Hannah Whiteley and then back, allowed Sophie to score her first goal of the season.

For Oke Annebelle Rademaker and Sophia Marshall linked well down the wing but were unfortunately denied any opportunities.

A fast run from Jo Moppett down the line let Hannah Whiteley score her second from a fast cross.

The last goal came from Sophie Whiteley who slotted the ball past the keeper to make the final score 5-1.
