23-07-12: Tavistock AFC (a) 6-0 (HT 2-0) Crowd (?)

Programme:

While Leeds did not score until near the end of the first half they were by far the dominant team and were impressive in their neat passing and movement. Ross McCormack was close early on and Tom Lees was dangerous with his crosses from the right. Tavistock were lucky when a shot from Paul Green hit Robert Snodgrass when on it's way into the net, after twenty minutes. Jason Pearce was close with a header and both Snodgrass and McCormack had half chances. But five minutes before the break Aidan White scored with a quality finish after getting on the end of a long through ball. Then right on half-time Ross McCormack took a free-kick and Robert Snodgrass helped it on, for Paul Green to finish off the move. United made several changes for the start of the second half, goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown took over from Paddy Kenny, Danny Pugh replaced Michael Brown on the left of midfield while Andy Gray came on for Luciano Becchio in a striking role. Once more United continued to dominate but failed at the final stages as passes went atray. On the hour they got their third goal with the help of the home team as Aidan White crossed from the left and a Tavistock defender, who was under no real pressure, sliced the ball past his own keeper. Ross McCormack was close after being put through by Robert Snodgrass but in the sixty-eighth minute Leeds made wholesale changes as Sam Byram replaced Martin Crainie, Zac Thompson took over from Robert Snodgrass, Dominic Poleon came on for Paul Green, Robbie Rogers replaced Aidan White and Ramon Nunez replaced Ross McCormack. Nunez was soon in the action having an early oppurtunity saved and the getting in a good cross which Dominic Poleon headed wide, but the fourth goal was not long in arriving and Robbie Rogers seized upon a poor clearance by the home keeper to rifle the ball into the net. After eighty minutes Nathan Turner replaced Jason Pearce and his twin brother Nathan replaced Adam Drury and Andy Gray twice went close before Dominic Poleon made it five after he cut in from the left before scoring with a clinical finish in the eighty-sixth minute. Tavistock were finding it hard to cope amd Zac Thompson hit a sixth two minutes later as Leeds eased to a comfortable victory.
