1st Team Vs PGSOB 2

PGSOB started strongly, pressing the away team deep into their own half, but Sam Kirkness wrongfooted the PGSOB keeper with an excellent reverse stick strike after a quick pass from Ben Andrew to put the Reds ahead. Andrew turned provider again a few minutes later, when a lapse in the PGSOB defence left Pete Smale through one on one, where he duly rounded the keeper and finished emphatically to put North Devon 2-0 up at half time.

An unfortunate own goal from Ben Cox at the beginning of the second half closed the gap to 2-1, but North Devon were able to take advantage of PGSOB's continued attempts to throw men forward in their search for an equaliser. A scrambled goal for skipper David Orr after the ball had come back off the post restored the 2 goal cushion. An absence of any marking at the back then allowed Smale to take his second in acres of space, and then a couple of minutes later very unselfishly turn provider for the tireless Ashley Thorne to finish with a flourish. 

"We were robust in defence and clinical in attack, fully deserving the points", summed up Captain Orr after the match.
