Meanwhile Seaton Town continued their recent good run with a 3-1 win at Cullompton Reserves. The Seasiders are without a fixture this Saturday.

Up in the Premier Division Heavitree Social United’s 2-1 win over Sidmouth Town has plunged the Vikings’ neighbours Beer Albion into deeper mire at the foot of the table.

Albion travel to Bickleigh at the weekend looking to end a disasterous run of nine straight defeats‘on the road’.

In Senior Three bottom of the table Sidmouth Town Reserves’ woes continued with a 6-0 hammering on their own Manstone Road turf by Heavitree Social United. The Vikings second-string take on Barnstaple Town in North Devon at the weekend.

It’s now five defeats on the bounce for United who will need to halt the slide to prevent an immediate return to Intermediate football next season. Axmouth entertain promotion chasing Okehampton Aryle Reserves at Boss Hill Cross on Saturday.
