Dartmouth AFC

Dartmouth AFC 2 Tavistock 1

With players out of the team today for various reasons Jamie played the 2 youngsters again and they gradually ran the legs off a Tavistock side that has some classy players

But we went in 1-0 down at half time from a goal Warren Stainer saved but trickled over the line

In the second half we gradually got on top and Kevin somehow found enough space among 6 Tavistock players to turn and hammer in the equaliser

From then on Tavistock lost their discipline and 3 of their players did the early walk to the dressing room

With the game spoiled we failed to capitalise on the acres of space that opened up until young Jordan Havelin held off big defenders to hook the ball into the net from short range

On what was a brilliant Spring afternoon Jamie started to feel the heat in the last few minutes and in giving him an early bath too, I thought the referee showed compassion. Its the first time in years Jamie  walked without a word

The Tavistock manager will have something to say to his team about today and Jamie will be thinking why we didn't bury a team with only 8 players

At the beginning of the season I thought we would be worth a top 6 place  and we should aim to win the prize money which the top 3 are awarded. With today's result it looks as if we will be the top Devon Club in the SW Peninsula League by a big margin and I think Jamie Lance and Russ deserve our congratulations. As for next season I think we have laid the foundations for a championship side
