Early goals set Teign Ladies on their way

TWO goals early in the second half set Teign Ladies first team on course for a 3-0 win over Taunton Vale in Premier 2B.

Teign were ahead after just six minutes. Kate Rochelle's first shot was saved and the rebound picked up by Rosie Partridge, who slotted home.

Teign were glad of some crucial saves from keeper Hazel Tranchant in a frantic first half.

Three minutes into the second half Teign went further ahead when Kate Rochelle capitalised on good work by Partridge, Shannon Keating, Claire Rochelle and Grace Bruce to flick the ball home.

Player of the match Keating started the move which led to the third goal by Bruce.

Teign have no game this Saturday, but are back in action on November 3 when they visit Bristol.

Teign Ladies thirds lost for the first time this season when Honiton Hornets trounced them 7-0.

It would have been worse without a fine performance from keeper Lily Gerratty-Morris.

Teign Ladies second team got home 2-0 against Dawlish, clinching victory thanks to a Hannah Taylor strike five minutes from time.

Keeper Kate Whapples was kept busy early on before Teign were able to go on the attack.

Megan Bruce drove down the right, linking up with Molly Robinson and Taylor, before passing to Katie Emmerton to make it 1-0.

The second half started with Teign making mistakes and it needed some excellent defending from Emily Judge, Jo Day and Bruce to keep Dawlish out.

Teign scored their second on the break. Emmerton found Taylor perfectly placed to hit home.

Robinson earned player of the match for her determined efforts in midfield

DART Ladies were denied a win over Isca IV in Petroc One by a last-gasp equaliser.

With time ticking down Dart were 2-1 thanks to strikes from Harriet Rogers and Harriet Sampson.

Two minutes from time Isca got back to 2-2 after putting pressure on the home defence.

Dart had come from behind themselves to take the lead after Isca scored in the first few minutes.

Rogers scored following a goalmouth scramble and Dart were unlucky not to add to their tally before the break.

Kyla Townsend, Rogers, Cath Causey and Magenta Joiner pushed the ball out to the wings, putting pressure on their visitors.

Dart took the lead after the break when Annie Quartley turned defence into attack after a tackle.

Samson and Sally Chugg took play into the last third, where Sampson scored with a reverse-stick chip.

Dart go into their next game against University of Exeter with confidence and determination.

TEIGN Men's first team made it three wins in four starts in South East One by beating North Devon A 1-0.

Josh Boyne, Ryan Bougourd and Nick Holliday all wasted gilt-edged opportunities.

The only goal of the game came in the first half when Steve McMorrow netted after Josh Wainwright, Ryan Bougourd and Dominic Spayne were involved in the build-up. Teign head for Torbay this Saturday.

The Men's second team drew 2-2 at Chard, coming from behind twice to grab a point.

Will Boyne equalised for the first time with a shot which went in off the keeper's glove.

Tom Brooks netted the second equaliser with a reverse-stick strike from the edge of the circle.

HAZEL Sampford was credited with two goals in Newton Abbot Ladies' 3-0 win over Dartmouth.

Newton Ladies dominated to such an extent that keeper Sara Neville only touched the ball once.

Dartmouth's defence certainly had their work cut out with player of the match Chloe Edwards in the thick of everything.

The first goal came from a short corner which Sampford fired in and somehow ricocheted into the goal.

Goal number two was put away by Julie Clarvis from open play. Sampford wrapped things up with the third.

While Newton were jubilant with the way they played, Dartmouth coach Kevin Edwards admitted he had concerns, especially the number of changes in the team every week.

"I think it is taking us a while to adjust to the pace and strength of this league," said Edwards.

"We are still playing Petroc Two hockey in Petroc One and it does not work.

"The work rate is there though and typified by the likes of Bonny Chivers who played out of position well."

Newton Abbot have no game this Saturday. They return to the fray in two weeks time with a game against Teign. Dartmouth's next game is at home to Sidmouth & Ottery on the same day.
