Teign Close in on promotion
Teign Men’s 1st XI went a step closer to
promotion with an impressive 10-0 win away at Plymouth University A this
weekend. The result means that victory this weekend will seal Teign’s third
consecutive promotion.
With some underwhelming performances of late it was an
impressive return to form for Teign, crushing a Plymouth University side that
were confident of handing Teign their first defeat of the season. As it
transpired, greater quality in all areas of the pitch and some exceptional
match play made this a very one-sided match.
Richie Fisher and Henry Burningham controlled the centre
midfield for Teign, spraying balls forward despite constant pressing from
Plymouth University. Wingers Ryan Bougourd and Tom Brooks were frequently
involved but the glory all went to Teign’s impressive strike duo, Ben Ayres and
George Burningham, with Ayres picking up four goals and Burningham three. The
scoring was completed with goals from Henry Burningham, josh Boyne and Richie
Fisher.
This weekend Teign entertain title rivals Tavistock, who
they hold a four point lead over with three games remaining. Victory will
assure Teign of promotion and almost certainly deny Tavistock, making this a mouth-watering
contest at Sandy Lane.
Teign Roundup…
Teign Men’s 2nd XI had an impressive home win
over Chard A with goals from Pete Brooks, Jon Roe and Nathanial Christian-John.
Teign Ladies 1st XI lost 3-2 in a close game
against Bude, goals coming from Kate Rochelle and Lauren Hawkins. The Ladies 2s
lost 6-0 away to Exe 3 and the Ladies 3s lost 5-0 at home to Exe 4. The Ladies
2s face Newton Abbot this weekend in a relegation dogfight; the loser most
likely being demoted. Meanwhile the Ladies 1s travel to Clevedon hoping to get
the win that will guarantee their survival.
On Sunday Teign won their quarter-final fixture of the Devon
Mixed Plate 9-0 away at Penzance. The team feature men’s and ladies players
