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.
Axe Cliff Ladies had another challenging day in their County Prize Round last Wednesday, playing against a bitterly cold wind but at least they did not have any serious rain to contend with.
Amazingly the first three all had had the same score of 30 points and were difficult to separate.
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.
Axminster Town's away fixture against South West Peninsular Premier East strugglers Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police was postponed due the pitch being unplayable but the Tigers keep their tenth place in the division.
