SeatonTown 1, 3 Beer Albion 3
An in-form Beer Albion side travelled to Seaton Town for the local East Devon derby last Saturday and returned over the hill with a 3-1 victory over opponents who were reduced to nine men after two red cards.
AVERAGING around 19, what Uplyme Reserves lacked in experience they made up for in energy, passion and tactics to win 5 - 4 and claim two wins in a row in Perry Street Division 3.
Against a very experienced Kingsbury Episcopi team, unbeaten in the division, they took an early lead through a coolly-taken goal from Connor Tate, after a great ball out of defence from Daley Holmes, who is working his way back from an injury.
Lady Luck deserts Lyme Rovers as they conceded another early goal

ALTHOUGH they were beaten 1-0 the week before, but having enjoyed most of the play, Lyme Regis Reserves travelled to Exmouth Rovers on Saturday confident that they could beat the Devon and Exeter Division One East leaders in the return fixture.
But yet again, lady luck deserted them with Exmouth taking the lead after just two minutes with a penalty decision that the Lyme management team of Nick Tregale and Darren Stewart, thought was harsh.
A HUMBLING 7-1 defeat against Perry Street, one of the Perry Street Division One favourites, was brightened slightly by a lone goal for Lyme Rovers, the first to be conceded by the South Somerset club.
Kicking into a strong head-wind, and expecting a top footballing opponent, the Rovers did their best to batten down the hatches, and with the score kept to 2-0 by 35 minutes, hopes weren't entirely lost.

Axminster Reserves, favourites to win promotion in the first season back in Devon & Exeter League football, consolidated their position at the top of Division Two East with a 9-1 victory over East Budleigh 2nds.
Having come out of the league for just one season, Axe had to drop down a level on re-entry and with the squad that manager Dan Prettejohn having put together, Ottery St Mary 2nds look like the only club likely to challenge them for the Division Two title . Axminster beat them 4-2 when they met earlier in the season and so far this season Axe have knocked in 35 goals with only four against.
LYME Regis 1st's much-awaited return to the Davey Fort was celebrated this afternoon (Saturday) with a display of fast-moving football and clinical finishing rarely seen by the Seasiders' faithful in recent times.
Dawlish United travelled to the Davey Fort in second place in the Devon & Exeter League Premier East division and after Lyme's disappointing 3-1 defeat by Colyton last week, the South Devon outfit might well have been expecting an easy afternoon.
