League Cup Match

Bude  3     Tavistock 3

After some early pressure from Tavistock, it was Bude who took an surprising lead after 15 mins when a shot was spilled by Tavi's keeper Richard Rowe and Stevie Box reacted with a simple tap in.    Tavistock soon replied with a Paul Cowling.  A trip on a Tavi' player saw a penalty awarded but the strike down the middle of the goal was saved by Gary Dinshaws legs.  Tavistock took the lead early on in the second half when Cowling shot from an angle and the ball came off defender Liam Sandercock and in to the back of the net.  Bude came back again and Chris Ward scored directly from a corner.  Again Tavi' took the lead when Luke McPherson headed in a cross from the left.  Substitutes Simon Chadwick and Billy Hopcroft came on to midway through the half to inject some life in the Bude side and they both combined for Budes' third.  A free kick just outside the box was taken quickly by Chadwick in to Hopcroft who was unmarked, he turned, took the keeper and drilled the ball home.
