Salisbury were the hosts to Exe, a team who had beaten them 4-0 at the beginning of the season. Salisbury, feeling confident from their draw last week went on to give Exe a run for their money. Exe were bound to have been confident following the convincing win at the beginning of the season but maybe they weren't prepared for the Salisbury team who have now adapted to the new league. It therefore transpired that the game was end to end and produced some outstanding hockey from both teams. It was exe who scored the first with a fearsome strike from a short corner, but Salisbury immediately fought back and saw Miranda MACTAGGART in front of goal, making no mistake with a lifted ball over the line. This inspired Salisbury, especially as they hadn't managed to score on the away fixture. The play continued to be end to end, creating opportunities for both teams and exceptional saves from both keepers. The half time saw them at 1-1 and all to play for.
