Beer Albion 1st’s completed a Devon League double over local rivals Ottery St Mary 1st’s, trouncing the Otters 5-0 away at Washbrook Meadows on Saturday writes Richard Honnor.
Strengthened by the return of Jake Rowe, Charley Skilton and Josh French the Fishermen produced one of their best team performances so far this season combining some excellent passing football with high pressing to deny their opponents any quality time and space on the ball.
A brilliantly executed 14th minute strike from Rowe set the tone and, despite striker French and defender Joe Adkin retiring through injuries, further goals from Giles Basson and Tony Pinder gave the Fishermen a comfortable 3-0 cushion at half time.
After the break, Jack de Winter who was impressive on debut for the Fishermen added two more goals to seal a comfortable 5-0 win for the league leaders.
Next week, Beer 1st’s have a crucial Devon league home game against fellow high-fliers North Molton. Kick-off at the Furzebrake is at 3pm and the match sponsor is Jimmy Green Marine.
Meanwhile, the Fishermen’s 2nd’s are away Teignmouth 2nd’s in Devon and Exeter Division 1.
