Away league match
Newton Abbot Spurs 1-2 Salcombe Town FC
Our second away game of the new season in 3 days, and another good result.
With the lights on at NA we set up with an unchanged starting 11, the game kicked of at a frantic pace with both teams looking to attack at any opportunity.
It wasn’t long before Edd Tymon opened the scoring with an acute header looping over the keeper following a superb cross from Charlie Barnes.
Half time 0-1
The second half started with chances not taken at either end of the pitch. With 72 minutes on the clock the home team equalised and the game really opened up with both teams looking for the winner.
With the introduction of Luke (Long Man) Milton up top Town could now utilise his aerial power and pressed well in search of the second goal.
It was his rather portly striking partner Charlie Barnes that made sure the 3 points would be travelling back to the South Hams.
He somehow managed to wriggle his way in the box when being challenged by 3 defenders and scoop the ball in to the bottom corner in the 84th minute.
The home team tried to get back on level terms but our defence stood firm and ensured the unbeaten start to the season continued.
