Okehampton Argyle 1-2 Exmouth Town |
>
Visitors Exmouth Town holding third position in the league gave Argyle a bit of a run around in the early stages of this encounter and forced several corners, but the goal came from open play on 15 minutes when their winger got in behind the Argyle defence and crossed low for an easy opener from close range.
Argyle enjoyed a good period of possession mid way through the first half and put together a superb move involving Robbie Miller, Steve Williams and Adam Mortimer, Mortimer pulled wide and sent in a good cross for Mathew Sanders to score from close range levelling the score on 25 minutes.
Exmouth went ahead once again on 40 minutes when they won the ball in the middle of the park and opened Argyle up for their No10 to finish well from the edge of the box, at this point Argyle needed the half time whistle to have a breather and regroup as they looked a bit out of sorts and raged.
The second half continued with Exmouth enjoying the better of the early possession and forcing several corners without any end product, Argyles best chance came when Robbie Miller found some space down the Exmouth left flank and fired in a superb cross that Adam Mortimer headed powerfully but unfortunately for Argyle the Exmouth keeper was in a good position to palm over the crossbar.
Exmouth ended the game squandering several clear cut chances and leave Argyle needing to pick up a few points from their remaining games that are coming thick and fast, away to Crediton on Monday 14th April, away again on Saturday 19th to Liverton United with the return game at Simmons Park kicking off at 6.30 on Wednesday 23rd
