Kirtons slipping as their rivals draw closer

Division One still wide open

Second place Beer Albion lost their penultimate match at Newton St Cyres 2-1, Simon Smith the fishermens scorer.
Tipton St John chasing a top three slot won 2-1 at Tedburn St Mary whose John Misselbrook found the target, but the University slipped up losing 3-2 at home to bottom of the table chagford. Ed Richardson and Jake Sinclair were the college scorers.

Bampton currently in third place but with just two matches remaining won 3-0 at home to South Zeal United, Leian Hunter, Connor Stone and Callum Woodman sharing the goals.
Sidmouth Town beat East Budleigh 2-1 in their basement meeting.

There were two matches played in the end of season League tournament Group One competition Feniton drawing 1-1 with Honiton Town whose Zak Harrson was their scorer in the senior section, but there was a remarkable 6-5 win for Otterton at Clyst Valley in the other game played.
