THE top-of-the-table clash between Perry Street Division Two leaders Drimpton and Charmouth promised to be a great display of football – and did not disappoint.
With Drimpton five points ahead of Charmouth in top spot but Charmouth with a game in hand, the Robins needed to take take points to push for the top spot.
UPLYME Reserves made their way through to another semi final after a comprehensive 6 - 2 victory over Farway Reserves.
Oscar Sladen, Brad Bowditch and a bullet header from Connor Tate were the supporting goals for an excellent hat-trick from man-of-the-match Joe Urquhart, which included a brilliant volley after controlling a Nate Gillan cross on his chest whilst on the run.
After a couple of lack-lustre results, Axminster Town rediscovered their shooting boots last evening (Tuesday) when they slammed six goals past South West Peninsular Premier East basement-boys Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police.
The 6-0 victory saw Axminster move up the division into seventh position, one point ahead of Cullompton Rangers.
Poor discipline on the pitch continues to plague Axminster Town. They currently have four players suspended and at the end of their midweek 3-0 defeat at home to Brixham another player was red carded.
Coupled with injuries, the loss of four key players is making life very difficult for manager Dan Prettejohn who has only been able to name a 12-man squad for the last two games.

CHARMOUTH faced Thorncombe in the quarter final of the Jack Venn Cup at home and after two wins were the favourites but their neighbouring villagers had a very different plan.
Charmouth looked off the pace with wayward passing and no real spark. Thorncombe took full advantage and after 10 minutes they were 2-0 up with two near identical goals, a great through-pass opened up the Charmouth defence and a clinical finish putting Thorncombe in control.
IT'S been a tough season for the youngsters in the Uplyme Reserves team and the quarter-final of the John Fowler Cup was another big challenge with the visitors Barrington Reserves bringing a very experienced squad as their first team had no game.
It was to prove a brilliant match lit up by moments of magic from the Swallows.
Understrength Axminster Town were no match for Brixham, losing 3-0 last evening (Wednesday) before a sparse crowd at Tiger Way.
In his programme notes, Tigers' manager Dan Prettyjohn described the South Devon side as the best side they had faced this season so this was not the time to meet them with four of Axminster's best players not available, four of which are under suspension.
