League Cup Match

Tavistock 2      Bude 3 

It took Bude 15 minutes to realise they were playing a mid week football match and soon went one nil down when Tavi scored from close range.  This was a wake up call for the young Bude side and they soon levelled the game when the ball was played through midfield to striker Tommy Statton who calmly lobbed the on-coming keeper. Tavi re-took the lead when a Bude goal kick was headed sharply back from a Tavi defender and Bude defender Liam Sandercock chasing back couldn't quite catch the Tavi striker who ran on to score with keeper Gary Dinshaw almost keeping the shot out with his feet.  Bude however kept their heads up and soon equalised when some sharp thinking saw Stevie Box take a quick free kick and Billy Hopcroft was alert to run through, round the keeper and slot the ball away.  The second half was evenly matched with both teams playing some neat football and as it looked as though the game would finish even, Stevie Box picked the ball up out on the left with minutes remaining, cut inside and unleashed a sweet strike which hit the far post, bounced across the goal line, off the other post and in for Budes winner.
