DEVON and Exeter Division Six leaders Okehampton came to Venlake on Saturday looking to hold onto their sizeable advantage at the top. However, the Uplyme team were set on proving last week's disappointing defeat to Exeter Uni was a blip.
Without influential player Cody Bowditch and skipper Wes Holmes, it seemed a tough task, but the team set about their usual brand of quick football with gusto.

Axe Cliff Golf Club Ladies enjoyed a blustery first round for their Winter League competition, played over 15 holes, and it showed in the results .
The joint winners were Jill Wellington and Pauline Willis with a modest 24 points but at least they can improve on that in future rounds, hopefully, with calmer weather.

Uplyme Reserves 2, Farway United 2nds 0 AFTER no game last week Uplyme hosted Farway United and the Swallows looked well up for it before kick-off. From the kick-off, the Swallows pressed Farway, keeping them mostly in there own half. A great cross from the left-hand side of the pitch found Brad Bowditch who chested it down for his left footed shot to find the back of the net to make open the scoring. Within a few minutes another great through ball split the Farway defence. Bowditch chased through beating defenders to slot the ball into the back of the net again only to be denied by an offside. The score remained 1-0 at the interval but Uplyme started the second half putting pressure on the visitors with some hard tackles from both teams going in. With about 15 minutes left of the game a great shot from Tyler Wheeler was cleared off the goal line only to hit upright and come back out. Uplyme kept pressing forward winning a corner with just a few minutes left to play. Bowditch stepped up to take the corner and put it straight into the back of the net, making it 2-0 at final whistle. This was another outstanding, solid team performance with Aiden Hulbert at right-back and midfielders Connor Newton and Will Osbourne dominating. Man-of-the match went to Will Osbourne.
AFTER a few indifferent results Lyme Regis 1st team were determined to get back to winning ways when Sidmouth Town 2nds visited the Davey Fort on Saturday.
Against the young and inexperienced Vikings, it turned out to be the right fixture to see the Seasiders rediscover some form and they coasted to a 5-1 defeat.
Colyton moved into seventh position in the Devon and Exeter Premier division with a convincing 5-1 victory over Dawlish United.
The Colyton goals came from Jake Collier, Jake Richards, Callum Somers, Matthew Rowson, and George Richards.
Axminster started brightly against a quality Ivybridge team but ultimately a lack of discipline again cost them two points in a 1-1 draw.
The Tigers' good start brought an early reward with Breaden Symes scoring from close range after Chris McGrath header from a corner rebounded off the crossbar.

The week started well at Axe Cliff Golf Club with the Seniors winning the annual Tic Trophy from the Ladies on Monday - some recompense for losing
order achieved on each hole with a blob counting as 0. For example if a team scored 4 x 3 x 0 then they had 0 total on that hole. If you only had two players in your team, then the third player was assumed had one point on each hole. This is going to take some checking so we will have to wait until next week for the result.
