Winks dreaming to be No. 1

Saturdays action October 21

The village of Winkleigh could well be Premier division leaders by saturday afternoon if they win their home match against visiting Colyton this saturday but who have slipped back recently, and if Alphington fail to beat Kentisbeare. That prospect is quite daunting for the Winks in their first ever season in the top flight, but it is quite a target to set themselves. Equally Kentisbeare have a big incentive in trying to dent the reigning champions unbeaten record.
