AFTER a disappointing draw against a very physical Winsham last month, Charmouth ran out easy winners in the return fixture with a 7-0 victory to maintain their second spot in Perry Street Division Two.

It was shakey first couple of minutes but Charmouth soon sprung to life and in the fourth minute Brin Seward set up Ashley Williams to open the scoring, setting the theme of the game. The second followed just two minutes later with Ashley Williams chasing down the keeper and slotting home for 2-0.

WITH no first team fixture, Lyme Regis Reserves were able to field a stronger side than of late in their Devon and Exeter Division Three encounter with Honiton Town 2nds.

With Lyme in fourth position in the table and the Hippos' second string experiencing an indifferent season, having lost five of their opening ten games, three points were very much on the cards for the Seasiders.

Tough start for young Tigers

Axminster Town Under 13s 2,

Chard Town Under 13s 1 In their first Division One game of the season, the Tigers came up against a rejuvenated Chard team who defended superbly and gave the Axminster lads a tough game. After 20 minutes the Tigers went a goal down with the opposing striker poking the ball over the helpless Cian Murdy to take the lead. Axe kept playing some good football but couldn't get that final finishing shot away after hitting the bar and missing the open goal from the rebound. But just before half-time Theo Dibling showed great skill and pace before smashing the ball home from an angle in into the back of the net to make it 1-1 at half time. Going into the second half the Tigers dominated possession but were met with some solid defending on the line and blocked shots as they struggled to find a way through. With 15 minutes remaining substitute Theo Hewitt beat two defenders superbly before pulling the ball back for Theo Dibling to slot the ball home for the winner. Man-of-the-match was Theo Dibling.
