Tense and exciting from start to finish is the best way to describe this encounter, Crediton rooted at the bottom of the league all season pushed Argyle all the way and refused to be beaten.
Crediton started the better of the two teams and forced several corners in the early exchanges, and it was not until the 30th minute that Argyle settled their nerves when Steve Williams ran thirty yards with the ball and crossed for Steve Kinsey to finish from close range, Argyle added a second on 35 minutes when Darren Prouse passed inside to Stuart Cann who unleashed a powerful shot from 25 yards that took a slight deflection off a Crediton defender and flew in the top corner giving the keeper no chance.
Crediton replied on 40 minutes when their striker closed down the Argyle defence and an attempted clearance rebounded into the Argyle net, this was no more than Crediton deserved setting the game up for a tense second 45 minutes. Crediton managed by ex Exeter City manager John Cornforth found themselves 3.1 down within five minutes of the restart when Steve Williams showed a great turn of pace beating two defenders and forcing a foul from the third inside the area Robbie Miller stepped up to hammer the penalty home. Crediton continued to play with a lot of spirit and really made a game of it when striker Robert Blake scored after a fine double save by Argyles Daniel Malcolm failed to deny him.
Crediton set the game up for a really tense finish when on 65 minutes they levelled the scores at 3-3 Okehampton once again looked a touch nervous but held firm and came through this period to take the lead once more when Steve Kinsey showed some great control chesting the ball down in the area and drilling a low shot past the Crediton keeper from 12 yards. Okehampton kept the ball well for the final few minutes and ran out deserved winners.
