Sidmouth and Ottery Hockey Club men’s 5th XI: The fifth team returned from Exeter without points after going down by 4-0 against Isca.
Captain Andy Dockley assembled 14 players at the Exeter University’s sand-based pitch to take on a competent Isca team.
With a mixture of youngsters and more senior players, the visitors played some good hockey at times and made good use of their substitutes throughout the game.
Pressure was applied on both wings and SOHC did get some chances but were unable to convert them.
In a competitve encounter, Isca were able to make more of their chances and scored a couple of goals in both halves.
SOHC should not be downhearted, with their performance but will have to work hard in their next encounter when they take on joint top of the table University of Exeter, who have not dropped a point all season, on the same pitch.
