Oban defeat Helensburgh in Argyll derby match

Oban men faced Helensburgh 2s in their first Argyll derby in the men’s hockey league.

For the second week running, Oban went 2-0 up at half time, and so how would the team play in the second half?

With the benefit of three subs, the side were able to rotate effectively to make sure everyone had a good balance of playing and resting.

Valuable contributions from debutants Cameron Hathaway, Donald Histead and Gavin Yates helped see the side through and secure the 2-0 win.

MOM was Gavin Yates who added great strength and depth to the side in his role as sweeper. The defence in general were solid. A massive thank you to Charmaine Love for umpiring, who had a great game herself. Oban’s next game is another Argyll derby where the team face Helensburgh 3s.
