A damaging defeat for our title hopes after mistakes handed Tavistock the win.

Team News : We were without the injured Byron Mason, TJ Cuthbertson, Sami Makhloufi, Leon Baker & Dan Miller for the long trip to Devon

The tone of the day was set on just 8 minutes when indecision at the back allowed Liam Prynn, the league's top scorer, to nick the ball off Gosney and finish into the empty net.   We drew level on 22 minutes when a low shot by BRAD TARGETT from 25 yards skidded off the soaking surface and inside the post.

Another gift for Liam Prynn on 34 mins as Gosney kicked the ball straight to him to score.   Rob Flooks headed narrowly wide before Prynn hit the crossbar.  HT 2-1

Prynn completed his hat-trick with a simple header to make it an uphill battle for the Boatmen to get anything from the game.  As conditions worsened in heavy rain, LEE WORT pulled one back 6 minutes later, heading in a Roundell cross.

The remainer of the game was end to end, but despite a few late scrambles we came away empty handed and will now need to win all our remaining games and for Totton to implode if we are to win the league. HT 3-2
