AFTER losing the first game in the double header against Perry Street Division Two top-of-the-table opponents, Charmouth were out to prove a point on Saturday.

The game may not have been the goalfest of the previous week when the Robins lost 5-3, but some great football was played.

UPLYME had a very disappointing Saturday, with both the first team and Reserves losing.

A young Reserves team went down 4 - 0 to a much more experienced Combe A, while the 1sts suffered a very disappointing 2 - 0 loss to Falcons in Division Six of the Devon and Exeter League.

LYME Regis first team moved into the top five of the Devon and Exeter League Premier division with a sold 3-2 victory over Okehampton Argyle 2nds yesterday (Saturday).

Conditions underfoot were not ideal for fast-flowing football, but the visitors had no antidote to the Seasiders inter-passing play, especially in the first half when they failed to convert numerous chances.

YOU always know when going to play a University team that you are going to be up against a young, athletic team who want to play a more possession based game. And that's exactly what Lyme Regis Reserves faced against University of Exeter 5th X1 yesterday (Saturday).

So manager Matt Preece made a decision to call on the club's own youth, bringing in players like Zak Harrison and Matt Bradley into the starting line-up. He also made a change of goalkeeper. Rob Harp had been fantastic at times this season, but it was felt that Will Meech, now fit to play in goal again after a hand injury in pre-season, deserved a chance between the sticks.
