West Exe U12 2 v Oke U12 vipers 4 ⚽️

A lovely warm Saturday morning, the team travelled away to face the league winners. There were some tough battles from the get-go.
Laurence made a crucial clearance off the line. Alex then capitalized on a loose back pass, rounding the keeper to score our first goal. An Okehampton corner led to an own goal by a defender, making it 0-2. Excellent defending and great saves from Harry kept a clean sheet at halftime.

In the second half, a lovely ball over the top found Alex, but his shot went just wide. Oscar then scored from a great first touch n finish in the box to make it 0-3. West Exe managed to pull one back quickly, and then another goal from a playing-out mistake made it 2-3. Finally, sustained pressure from Okehampton forced a mistake from the West Exe keeper, and Jake Q capitalized to score from 20 yards, ending the match at 2-4.

Overall, an excellent performance from top to bottom rightly see’s the whole team take man of the match 👏

That’s a wrap for the 25/26 season with Okehampton Vipers finishing in 5th place in Division One in the EDYL.
Thank you to the coaches and parents for all your support 💛💙⚽️

Congratulations to the Oke U12 Vipers who came away from the Mark Wickett Tournament as runners-up 🏅

Proud of the effort, teamwork, and determination shown all day—what a performance! 👏

Huge congratulations to our U10 football teams who took part in the Mark Wickett Memorial Tournament in Tavistock this weekend ⚽️

Both teams — Thunder and Lightning — had an incredible day, competing brilliantly and finishing on the podium to earn their well-deserved medals 🏅

🌩️ Team Thunder were outstanding, winning the tournament with an impressive record — just 1 loss, 1 draw, and victories in all their other matches!

⚡ Team Lightning also delivered a fantastic performance, securing silver place with only 1 loss, 2 draws, and winning the rest of their games.

An amazing achievement by every single player. The boys showed great skill, teamwork, and determination all day — especially with only one substitute, which made it even tougher.

So proud of you all 💛💙⚽️

Lympstone U12s v Okehampton Vipers U12s ⚽️

1-7

Okehampton got off to a slow and lethargic start in the opening 10 minutes, with Lympstone applying plenty of early pressure. However, once Oke settled, the game quickly turned.

The breakthrough came from Jackson, who calmly slotted the ball into the net. This was soon followed by a second goal from Alex, as Okehampton began to find their rhythm. From that point on, the team really stepped up a gear, producing some of the best passing football they’ve played all season.

Conner added a third with a great run down the flank before finishing well. A substitution saw Jake Q enter the pitch and make an instant impact, scoring within minutes of coming on.

Lympstone continued to press and were rewarded with a penalty, which was well taken, giving the ever-reliable Harry no chance.

Okehampton responded immediately, with Alex grabbing another goal to extend the lead Alex added a 3rd goal to have another hatrick for the season to his tally! The team continued to create chances, coming close on several occasions, before Coen added the final goal—just managing to lift the ball over the keeper.

Overall, this was arguably the best football Okehampton have played all year.

Player of the Match: Coen 👏

Moors Youth U12s v Okehampton U12’s Vipers ⚽️

Moors Youth 4–0 Okehampton ☀️

Tough one for Oke on Monday in a wide-open game in Tiverton. The first half was end-to-end with chances for both sides, but Moors Youth were more clinical and went in 2–0 up.

Harry was busy all afternoon with some top saves keeping it from getting worse 🙌 Oke did create moments going forward, just couldn’t quite find the finish.

In the second half Moors controlled the game more and added two more, including a late free kick to wrap it up.

Well deserved player of the match was awarded to Connor 👏

Not our day, but plenty of effort from the lads 👊

💛💙⚽️
