DIVISIONS 5-8

Big celebrations for new boys Teign Village as they registered their first win in the Devon & Exeter League for nearly a century. The Teigns who left to join the South Devon League decades ago are now back and won 3-0 at Axmouth United, and their reward is they are off the basement rung for the first time.

Exmouth Rovers had cup duties but stay second alongside Exeter Royals managed to get the better of Bradninch 2-0.

Westexe Park Rangers pocketed a very welcome point from a 3-3 draw against City Raiders, and there was a 1-1 draw at Newton St Cyres against visiting Phoenix.

Ex Dons maintained their grip on Division Eight winning 6-0 with ease at Millwey Rise.
Tedburn St Mary kept pace though after a 7-2 win at Starcross Dons.
Lympstone were unable to field a side for their match at home to Hemyock but the other big story of the day is for Amory Green Rovers whose 3-1 win at Farway United was the first time they have enjoyed the taste of success since May 2021 when they toppled North Tawton 3-1.
