Back to Back Wins Send Teign Second in the Table
Teign Men’s 1st XI won two games this weekend to
go second in the table, two points behind leaders Tavistock. Teign scored 21
goals in two comfortable wins, greatly improving their goal difference and sending
a message to the rest of the league in the process.
On Saturday Teign entertained Bodmin A; a team struggling
for results following player departures from last season, which is never nice
to see. They played with a lot of spirit and determination but having fielded
youngsters playing their first game of hockey the result was inevitable. Teign
scored quick goals to kill the game in the first five minutes then took a 7-0
lead into the interval. The second half only got worse for Bodmin as Teign racked
up another nine goals, bringing the score to 16-0. Goals were scored by Jamie
Hill, Jacob O’Connor, Dominic Spayne, Dave Jeffs, Jed Jackson, Henry Burningham
(2), Tom Brooks (2), Ben Ayres (2) and George Buningham (5).
On Sunday Teign played the re-arranged opening day fixture
against Cambourne SoM, who were only able to travel with ten men. Cambourne
were well organised and technically gifted but clinical and ruthless attacking
from Teign in the first half wrapped up the result in just twenty minutes as Teign
took an insurmountable 3-0 lead that they held until half time, goals coming
from Ben Ayres, Henry Burningham and Jed Jackson. Teign added two more in the
second half through Tom Brooks and another from Ben Ayres, before Cambourne
scored a well-deserved consolation goal.
This weekend Teign travel to Bude A hoping to keep the
pressure on the league leaders Tavistock, who they face on 23rd
November.
