ALL THE SENIOR CUP AND LEAGUE ACTION

SENIOR ACTION

As always mixed fortunes for our teams in the opening round of the Devon Senior cup, but plenty of goals to provide entertainment. Cranbrook who could well be looking for a good run in the competition moved on with a 10-1 victory at Farway United, and Topsham Town also got to double figures as they put paid to Halwill 10-0.
Hemyock won a thriller at Elmore 4-3, and Culm United came away from Princetown as they edged the South Devon side 3-2.
Seaton Town were elated to get through 5-4 on penalties at Barum United in North Devon after a 1-1 draw, and Bravehearts also won on penalties 5-3 at home to Clyst Valley after the pair shared four goals..
The University although not yet back at college managed to rustle up a team to get their tie resolved at Winkleigh who many thought would make it through.
Elsewhere Feniton were beaten 7-4 at home by DC Auto repairs from Plynmouth, and Chagford lost their big derby to Stoke Gabriel 6-1,

Close defeat for Tipton St John at Lugger Devonport by 3-2, and even closer at Woolsery in North Devon where Broadclyst were beaten 6-5 on pens after the teams ended 3-3.

Sadly no news yet of how Exeter United fared against Plympton, but news now in that Teignmouth who were 1-0 winners at home to Holsworthy.

LEAGUE ACTION

Despite the many cup ties around, there was still plenty of League action with Upottery taking over the Division One leadership after a 4-2 win against Hatherleigh Towon despite going a goal down.
Newtown moved into third spot from a cracker against Beer Albion, the only goal of the game coming in the last minute.
East Budleigh and Lympstone shared the points in the other match played which ended 1-1.

In Division Two St Martins stay top after a 4-2 win at their KGV neighbours Central after conceding first, while Exmouth Spartans celebrated their first win a 2-0 success away at Dunkeswell Rovers.

Heavitree United had their unbeaten record in Division Three broken by Bampton, the ponies galloping to a 3-1 success at Wingfield Park.
Leaders Witheridge meanwhile were held to a 1-1 draw by Lyme Regis which in turn was their first point.

East Budleigh were 2-0 winners at Colyton to go top of Division Four on goal difference, and were joined by Sidmouth Town who were too strong for visiting Alphington winning 6-0.
Cheriton Fitzpaine and Budleigh Salterton settled for a 1-1 draw at White Cross, and Dawlish United and Uplyme also drew 0-0 but this result is pending and may not stand.
