Willand Rovers 2 Stoke Hill 1

SUPERB WIN FOR YOUTH TEAM

Daniel Biss was the man of the match as Willand Rovers became the first
team to inflict a defeat on Juventus League under-14 2nd Division
leaders Stoke Hill, beating them 2-1.
The Exeter side arrived at the Stan Robinson Stadium with a record of
seven wins and a draw from eight outings but the home side were
quickest to settle and took a deserved lead from Jack Bridgeman.
Stoke Hill equalised to take the sides in at the break on level terms
and, in the second half the leaders took command but could not break
down a resilient home defence in which Ryan Mitchell and Callum Pink
were outstanding. As the visitors pressed Rovers took advantage of a
rare break away and Bridgeman got on the end of a superb passing move
to score what proved to be the winner.

Rovers coach Colin Pink said: "The boys were simply magnificent, every
one of them who pulled the Rovers shirt on today gave their all and
they can be very proud of their collective effort."
