PREVIEW OF THIS WEEKENDS BIG MATCHES

Saturday September 19

Two County cup ties yet to be resolved feature this weekend. In the Devon Premier cup Colyton host Chudleigh Athletic former league members of ours some 60 years ago, but now plying their trade in the South Devon League, and Hemyock welcome Starcross Dons in the A & S Devon Intermediate Cup. The reward for either Colyton or Chudleigh is a home tie against Landkey, and for either Hemyock or Starcross the winners will be at home to Bampton.

Otherwise a big league programme with six matches in Premier and a first ever meeting for Beer Albion against Westexe Park Rangers at this level.
Champions Upottery yet to face an away trip are home again to East Budleigh, Sidmouth Town with a chance to go top on their own if they win at Crediton United, Lyme Regis seeking their first victory have South Zeal United as their guests, and Feniton hoping to get a better result against Otterys second eleven after recently losing to the firsts in the County Premier cup.

Top match in Division One sees leaders Dawlish United at second place Clyst Valley, both teams kicking off with a 100% record while in Division Two leaders Witheridge having won their first two outings travel to Lympstone who have lost their first three.

Both Division Three pacemakers Axminster Town and Willand XI with two wins in the bag seek to make that three. The tigers are at Exeter Royals, while Willand welcome Sidmouth Town yet to pick up a point.

Uplowman Athletic who have torn out of the blocks with three wins in Division Four are at home to Whipton & Pinhoe, their nearest rivals Topsham Town on the road for the first time this season go to Millwey Rise.

Awliscombe United two wins in the locker and with a chance to top Division Five get a visit from Priory who are unbeaten so far with one win and two draws. Current leaders Exmouth Albion on the other hand have a tricky date at Westexe Park Rangers.

The top four in Division 6 Brown get together with leaders Axminster Town down the road at Axmouth United, and second place Lyme Regis inland at Cranbrook Town.

Division Six Davey leaders Tedburn St Mary aiming for their fourth win away at Hatherleigh Town, and closest challengers Topsham Town with a much shorter trip to Phoenix United.

Phoenix first XI and second place Exmouth Albion both with 100% starts in Division Six Webb face up at Withycombe common, so quite a busy Saturday all round.
