Kingsbridge & Salcombe 2nd Team hosted Devonport Services 2s for their seventh game of 2026, facing a strong Devonport side on a bright and sunny day.

Kingsbridge started the game well, showing great formation and shape throughout the match. The team moved the ball confidently, creating some excellent passing triangles that helped them work the ball up the pitch and maintain possession against a well-organised Devonport side.

Defensively, Kingsbridge were solid, with Mel, Nicky and Izzy putting in a strong performance at the back. Behind them, goalkeeper JL made several impressive saves, denying Devonport on multiple occasions and keeping the scoreline respectable with some outstanding stops. Her performance earned her a well-deserved Player of the Match.

In midfield and out on the wings, Poppy, Julie, Sam, Alice and HP worked tirelessly, making strong runs, winning the ball back consistently and putting in determined tackles. Their efforts helped drive the team forward and kept the pressure on Devonport throughout the game.

Up front, Emma, Kelly and Rosie made some excellent attacking runs, working hard to create opportunities. Their persistence paid off when Emma found the back of the net in the 57th minute with a well-taken goal, giving Kingsbridge a deserved moment of reward for their efforts.

Despite the final score of 7–1 to Devonport Services 2s, Kingsbridge & Salcombe worked hard together as a team, supporting each other and maintaining a positive attitude throughout. It was an enjoyable and competitive game played in great spirit, made even better by the sunshine.
