CLUB ON THE UP: Watts Blake Bearne are on the trophy trail and doing well in the league. (c)Miracle PR

Ten years ago, Newton Abbot side Watts, Blake & Bearne celebrated winning the double, picking up both the South Devon Football League Premier Division and Herald Cup. Three seasons later they had folded and were forced to regroup and endure the slow climb back up through the lower divisions.

Now known as Watts Blake Bearne AFC, the team are once again fighting for the top honours in the WBW (Solicitors) SDFL. On Saturday, two strikes by Matt Elmore and a single by Cam Gill earned the Division One high-fliers a place in the Herald Cup semi-finals at the expense of Premier Division outfit Salcombe Town. Luke Milton found the net for the Crabs but that will be scant consolation for the South Hams side who have never won the prestigious trophy.

There could yet be a new name inscribed on to the cup, Torbay Police claiming their semi-final place with a 1-0 home win over Meadowbrook Athletic. With the high winds causing problems, this was not a classic game and there were few chances for either side, Max Prestwood coming closest in the first half when his header from a corner was cleared off the line. The game was decided in the second half when Luke Dandy was pushed in the box. The Brook goalkeeper parried his spot-kick on to the post but referee Barry Hayward ordered the kick to be retaken due to player encroachment. Dandy didn’t pass up his second opportunity to break the deadlock and duly converted the penalty that saw the Bees through.

Holders Buckland Athletic are also through to the final four although it is the Development side tasked with defending the trophy Neil Snell and Marc Revell’s Reserves won last season. Bucks were clear favourites to win at Windmill Hill where they took on Division Two hopefuls Babbacombe Corinthians. However, it took them nearly the entire half to get their noses ahead with Charlie Morgan finally chesting down a cross and firing home after 38 minutes. The scoreline stayed at 1-0 until the hour mark when substitute Owen Coldwell put the game to bed with a quick-fire double.

East Allington United complete the semi-final line-up and will be aiming to scoop their third Herald Cup in four seasons following their back-to-back wins in 2017 and 2018. Finley Bullen struck twice in each half for the Pirates to end the hopes of their hosts Buckfastleigh Rangers. Luke Forward also scored for the visitors who won 5-0.

With the top two in cup action, Ipplepen Athletic took the opportunity to move level with Torbay Police on points by beating another in-form side, Brixham AFC Reserves, 4-2. Daniel Cummings’ Pens have now won an impressive seven games in a row.

Ivybridge Town Reserves will be pleased to have halted a trend in the opposite direction after they won 2-0 at Newton Abbot ’66 to bring a five game losing streak to an end.

Elsewhere, Chris Bennett and Andy Espley found the net for Broadmeadow STFC as they enjoyed a 2-1 home win over Plympton Athletic Reserves, Ryan Hart with the visitors’ strike.

The WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier Division delivered an interesting twist last Saturday as Buckland Athletic’s Development side dented Torbay Police’s title ambitions with a comprehensive 4-0 victory.

Joshua Clarke crossed for Owen Coldwell to open the scoring after 16 minutes at the Denbury Playing Fields. Then, on 24 minutes, Fraser Wesley slotted into an empty net after a mistake at the back. Joshua Clarke provided his second assist of the afternoon on the hour mark as his corner was volleyed home by brother Bailey. Joshua then added his own name to the score-sheet with a 71^st minute drive into the bottom corner from 20 yards out.

The result went down well with leaders East Allington United who didn’t play and remain a point ahead of the Bees having played just one game more now. Ipplepen Athletic, the division’s form side, stretched their winning streak to six games by beating bottom club Beesands Rovers 2-1 away. They are now in third place and just three points behind Torbay Police with a game in hand.

A close affair at the Dorothy Elmhirst Memorial Ground saw Meadowbrook Athletic narrowly claim the points with a 4-3 win over SDFL new boys Plympton Athletic Reserves, Ben Bowhay, Myles Chalcraft, Scott McRoy and James Thomas with the goals.

Brixham AFC Reserves are now four unbeaten after a comprehensive 5-1 triumph over struggling Ivybridge Town Reserves. Tom Hopper and Ryan Walton both bagged braces for the Fishermen with Matt Constable also on target.

Osborne Park was the scene of a ten goal thriller, Newton Abbot ’66 enjoying back-to-back wins by beating Broadmeadow STFC 6-4.

The top two in Division One went head-to-head at the Steve Jane Memorial Ground with both Harbertonford and Abbotskerswell beginning the afternoon on 27 points. The points were due to be shared when Fords’ marksman David Hatch picked up the ball on the edge of the area, drove into the box and slotted past the Abbots ‘keeper to win the game with five minutes to spare.

Stoke Gabriel Reserves moved up to second with an accomplished 3-0 victory over Kingsteignton Athletic Reserves. The Railwaymen were on top from the start and it took Callum Whiteoak just three minutes to fire his side into the lead. 15 minutes later, Whiteoak’s free-kick from the right found Ryan Langley who blasted the ball past Russell Faulkner for 2-0. Two minutes later, the game was all but over when Lewis Calf buried a header from another Stoke free-kick. Although the home side took their foot off the pedal a bit after the break, they always looked in control of the game.

Barton Athletic remain unbeaten and climbed further up the table with a 6-1 win over Buckfastleigh Rangers Reserves in an eventful game at the Duckspond. Chudleigh Athletic Reserves also ran out 6-1 winners, against Waldon Athletic Reserves, with Gavin Lake netting a hat-trick, Tyler Brown scoring twice and Oli Williams with a single goal.

Watcombe Wanderers Reserves picked up their first points of the season as bottom club Dittisham United were unable to raise a side.

East Allington United climbed back to the top of the WBW (SDFL) Premier Division on Saturday with their first win in three games, a 4-1 victory away at Meadowbrook Athletic’s Dorothy Elmhirst Memorial Ground.

A low first half strike from Fin Bullen, assisted by Luke Forward, and a Dan Hurrell header, from a Forward corner, gave the Pirates the perfect platform to secure the points in the second half. Danny Tucker then played Bullen through to slot home a cool second before Myles Chalcraft reduced the deficit for Brook. Forward completed a hat-trick of assists when his one-two with Rob Tapper ended with the latter’s cross-cum-shot in the back of the net.

The result places East Allington one point ahead of Torbay Police but the Bees have two games in hand. They were at home to Broadmeadow STFC in an all-Premier Division Third Round Herald Cup tie. The one-sided affair saw the Police hit eight without reply, Max Prestwood scoring four goals and the other goals delivered by Bobby Chancellor, Sonwabile Mlenze, Luke Dandy and man-of-the-match Liam Walton. The Police will play Meadowbrook in the last eight.

Ipplepen Athletic racked up a fifth straight win to climb into third in the table, beating Buckfastleigh Rangers 4-1 at Moor Road. This proved to be a popular scoreline with Brixham AFC Reserves and Newton Abbot ’66 both winning away by the same margin. Brixham defeated Plympton Athletic Reserves with Ryan Walton scoring twice and Andrew Deare and Reece Somers with one apiece; Matt Mazzoni netted for Plympton. Meanwhile, Callum Foskett put away a brace for Newton ’66 as they won at Beesands Rovers. Tom Lowe and Harry Noble also scored for the Sixes with Jack Eades getting a consolation for the Bees.

There was no surprise to see Ashley Yeoman on the score-sheet once again for Salcombe Town as his penalty gave the visitors the lead at Buckland Athletic Development. But that was as good as it got for the Crabs, with Fraser Wesley equalising before the break, Charlie Morgan hitting a rocket to put the Yellows ahead on 68 minutes and Calum Fyfe wrapping things up with two minutes to go.

Harbertonford and Abbotskerswell remain inseparable at the top of Division One after both sides won on Saturday. David Hatch was on fire for Fords, scoring five of his side’s goals as they hammered Paignton Villa Reserves. Samuel Passmore scored four goals and there were also strikes from Alex Boon and Robert Dart. A closer game at Abbots Park saw the home side beat Chudleigh Athletic Reserves 3-2 thanks to goals from Josh Moore, Thomas Barber and Aaron Knapman. Chudleigh’s goals were put away by Jack Lee and Daniel Yates. Watts Blake Bearne complete the top three after their 4-1 home triumph over Kingskerswell and Chelston. Cam Gill scored twice and there were goals from Billy Clinch, Matt Elmore and, for ‘Kerswell, substitute Russell Williams. Stoke Gabriel Reserves aren’t far behind in fourth. Ryan Langley netted four times for the Railwaymen as they trounced Dittisham United 8-0 away.

PENS’ PEN: Daniel Steer breaks the deadlock for Ipplepen with a penalty in their 2-0 home win over Ivybridge Reserves. (c) Derek Castree

Despite a largely dry end to the week, many of the sodden grass pitches in south Devon were unable to recover in time for Saturday’s WBW (Solicitors) leading to yet more postponements.

11 games did go ahead though and four of these were in the Premier Division. Torbay Police’s game at Buckland Athletic Development was called off giving East Allington United the opportunity to draw level on points by beating local rivals Salcombe Town at Poole Lane. Instead, the Pirates were held to a second consecutive home draw with four goals shared. James Ivatts scored for the home side with Fin Bullen also converting a penalty; Ash Yeoman and Charlie Barnes were on target for Salcombe with Yeoman keeping up his record of scoring in every league and Herald Cup game for the Crabs this season.

Charlie Johansen scored twice for third-placed Meadowbrook in a 3-0 victory over Newton Abbot ’66. Thomas Comyn also scored for Brook who reduced the gap between themselves and East Allington to five points with four games in hand.

In-form Ipplepen Athletic came through a tough test at home to Ivybridge Town Reserves to rack up their fourth victory in a row. After a battling opening half an hour, with both sides creating chances, Dan Steer broke the deadlock from the penalty spot. Moments earlier, Steer had been clattered by Ivies ‘keeper Jack Horswell leaving referee Martin Williams with little option but to award the spot-kick. Ivybridge had their chances to equalise after the break. Dale Stocker scurried back just in time to clear a goal bound effort just before the hour mark and the industrious Brad Lowe smacked the bar 15 minutes later. But Pens always looked dangerous up front and the move of the match nearly ended up in a second after Steer’s skilful turn, drive and through-ball was matched by substitute Damien Francis-Furnivall who beat his markers before chipping over Horswell. That last minute effort ended up on top of the net but seconds later, Ipplepen were celebrating a second, Stocker firing a low shot past the stranded goalkeeper and into the corner of the net.

A five goal encounter at the Duckspond ended in the visitors’ favour as Brixham AFC Reserves beat Buckfastleigh Rangers 3-2. Matthew Constable, Dalton Sanders and sub Alex McKerrell scored for the Fishermen with Steven Sutton and Declan Cowley, from the bench, netting for Rangers; the home side also saw Lewis Cox dismissed.

Only one game survived in Division One. Aaron Knapman scored the only goal of the game as Abbotskerswell came away from Paignton Villa Reserves with the points. Abbots move level with leaders Harbertonford.

In contrast, there were 22 goals scored in just three games in Division Two. Unbeaten Upton Athletic increased the pressure on leaders Galmpton United by thumping bottom club Kingsbridge and Kellaton United 8-2. Rui de Garces put away a hat-trick at Armada Park with Darren Bastow, Shaden Gagg, Luke Horrell, Rafal Jarosz and substitute Jordan Bastow all making the score-sheet. Paignton Saints Reserves reinforced their top three position by beating Torbay Police Reserves 4-2. Jamie Micklewright scored twice for Saints with Luke Pocknell and Brandon Kelly also on target. Johnathan Carter and Russell Cooper were the Bees’ goalscorers. Babbacombe Corinthians won 4-2 at home to Dartmouth AFC Reserves to move up to fourth.

There were also 20 goals scored in three games in Division Five with Newton Abbot Spurs Thirds winning the derby with Kingsteignton Athletic Thirds 6-0. Brixham AFC Thirds go level top with East Allington United Reserves after their 3-1 home victory over the Pirates and Torquay Town Reserves and Totnes and Dartington Reserves were inseperable as they fought out a 5-5 draw.

The battle between the top two in the WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier Division could be an exciting one as Torbay Police ended East Allington’s short tenure at the top with a narrow 4-3 home win over Ivybridge Town Reserves, the team who lost to the Pirates a week earlier.

The Bees opened up the scoring when Bobby Chancellor set up Max Prestwood to volley home but the Ivies capitalised on some poor defending to equalise. The last word of the half went the home side’s way when the battling Zac Chancellor put his brother through to edge the Police into a 2-1 lead. Ivybridge were gifted a second equaliser after the break when home ‘keeper Chris Bashford misjudged a cross-cum-shot and the ball nestled into the net for 2-2. The home side then retook the lead for the third time when substitute Marc Hagland’s free-kick was headed in by Prestwood. When Liam Walton set up the industrious Curtis Clarke to fire home a left-footed belter, it looked to be all over for the visitors but they were rewarded for their efforts when a deflected shot went in to bring the game back to 4-3 and set up a nervy final minute.

The only other Premier game saw Newton Abbot ’66 end a four game losing streak with a 2-0 victory away at third-placed Plympton Athletic Reserves. Tom Lowe and Gordon Stevenson scored the goals which mean the Sixes have now completed the double over Plympton.

Five Premier teams were in Herald Cup action against lower division opponents and all of them made it through unscathed.

Meadowbrook Athletic made the lightest work of their task by smashing nine past Division Three side Bishopsteignton United without reply. Thoms Comyn led the scoring for Brook with a hat-trick and there were braces for both Myles Chalcraft and Liam Collings; Ben Field and Jack Johansen completed the rout.

Joshua Harris netted twice for Salcombe Town who dispatched Paignton Saints Reserves 5-0 at the Malborough Playing Fields. There was also the obligatory goal for Ash Yeoman along with strikes from Charlie Barnes and Fred Massey.

East Allington also progressed into the quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Galmpton United. Mattias Bodman, Rob Tapper and Finley Bullen scored the Pirates’ goals with sub Kieran Dart on target for the Greens. Joshua Clarke scored the only goal at Armada Park as Buckland Athletic Development knocked out Upton Athletic.

Division One leaders Watts Blake Bearne are also in the last eight after a 6-2 triumph at Riviera United. Cam Gill claimed a hat-trick with Matt Elmore scoring twice and Jakeb Haywood-Cann also on target. WBB join Divison Two outfit Babbacombe Corinthians as the only non-Premier representatives in the quarter-finals.

Broadmeadow STFC completed the quintent of Premier winners in their delayed Third Round match at home to Barton Athletic. Barton pushed their hosts all the way in a 3-3 draw over 90 minutes but Broads netted an extra-time winner to set up a Fourth Round tie against the Torbay Police.

East Allington United will start the New Year at the top of the WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier Division after winning 2-1 at home to Ivybridge Town Reserves on Saturday 28^th December.

The visitors took the lead in the first half but Finley Bullen struck after the break to equalise. It looked as if the points would be shared but when Andy Distin pointed to the spot in the last minute, Bullen was given the chance to clinch all three points. The striker didn’t disappoint and the Pirates start 2020 two points clear of Torbay Police who have a game in hand.

Something has clicked for Buckfastleigh Rangers recently. The Greens are now four unbeaten after a resounding 5-1 home victory over Broadmeadow STFC who also had Josh Goswell sent off. Steve Sutton netted twice, as did substitute Sam Johnston, with George Davidson their other goalscorer. Chris Bennett scored Broads’ consolation.

Johnston also popped up from the bench with a goal on Tuesday 17^th December as Rangers came from behind to knock an under-strength Harbertonford out of the Herald Cup 4-1. Sutton, Davidson and Ian Howse were also on target under the Duckspond floodlights as was Fords’ Kieran Brown who volleyed home Alex Boon’s corner for the unexpected opener.

Ten other teams will be battling to join Rangers in the quarter-finals on Saturday January 4th.

RANGERS RETURN: Buckfastleigh Rangers record their first league win since the first day of the season by beating Newton ’66 2-0. (c) Derek Castree

The weather took centre stage again last weekend and only one WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier Division game survived. It was played at the aptly named Duckspond, home to Buckfastleigh Rangers.

Rangers scored twice without reply against Newton Abbot’ 66 to secure their first league win since the opening day of the season. Declan Cowley and Darren Hughes scored the goals for Rangers.

With Windmill Hill one of the few playable pitches available, it was ironic that Dartmouth AFC Reserves were unable to raise a side to face Babbacombe Corinthians in the Herald Cup. As a result, Corries progress straight through to the last eight having played just one game (they had a bye in the first round).

Barton Athletic Reserves dispatched Brixham AFC Thirds 4-1 at Furzeham Green in the quarter-finals of the Fred Hewings Cup. Sam Pyne and Steven Rohan scored for Athletic along with Jordan Charlesworth and brother Connor (from the bench). Garry Drew managed a consolation goal for the Fishermen. Barton will play Torbay Police Reserves in February in the semis with the winners of that game taking on either Ipplepen Athletic Reserves or Newton Abbot ’66 Reserves in the final.

The only game in Division One saw Paignton Villa Reserves extend their unbeaten league run to four as they sent struggling Watcombe Wanderers Reserves to their ninth straight defeat. Wanderers scored three times but their main issue is clearly at the other end. Having shipped at least four goals in each of their previous eight league games, they conceded five this time. Joshua Washbrook scored four himself with Ciaran Farley Villa’s other marksman.

There were five goals and five goalscorers at Poole Lane as East Allington United Reserves extended their lead at the summit of Division Three. Jordon Eynon, Chris Jebb, Oliver Stainton, Finlay Watson and substitute Aidan Corcoran all made the score-sheet for the rampant Pirates to send Kingsteignton Athletic Thirds home empty-handed.

Torbay Police still sit on top of the WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier Division but they are enduring something of a slump in form and could only manage a draw at struggling Buckfastleigh Rangers on Saturday.

Steven Sutton led the charge for the home side with a brace while Arren de Young also found the net. Goals from Matthew Bleakley, Zac Chancellor and substitute Max Prestwood ensured the Police left the Duckspond with a point.

Having picked up just two points in their last three games, the Bees have found their lead over East Allington United slashed to just a single point. The Pirates made it three wins and two clean sheets in succession as they scored two without reply at Brixham AFC Reserves, Luke Forward and Finley Bullen with the goals.

An important game at the top saw Salcombe Town reel in third-placed Plympton Athletic Reserves with a 2-1 victory at the Malborough Playing Fields. Ashley Yeoman kept up his record of scoring in every game so far with Lee Merchant the Crabs’ other goalscorer; Matt Mazzoni found the net for Plympton.

Meadowbrook Athletic haven’t played a league game since early October and they were in Herald Cup action again last weekend. Stoke Gabriel Reserves, who have been going well in Division One, managed to hold Brook to a 2-2 draw at the Dorothy Elmhirst but it was the Premier side which advanced to the Third Round, winning 5-4 on penalties.

After their surprise win over the Police a week earlier, Ipplepen Athletic made it two on the bounce on Saturday with a 3-0 home win over bottom side Beesands Rovers. Meanwhile, doubles from Callum Noyce and Calum Fyfe helped Buckland Athletic Development to a resounding 6-1 triumph over Newton Abbot ’66. Charlie Harding and Matthew Briant also found the net for Bucks.

After a poor start, Ivybridge Town Reserves are now enjoying a purple patch and made it three league wins in a row on Saturday. The Ivies edged a five goal affair 3-2 at Broadmeadow STFC to move above their opponents on goal difference.

Torbay Police Reserves will join Ipplepen Athletic Reserves and Newton Abbot ’66 Reserves in the semi-finals of the Fred Hewings Cup after they overcame stubborn first half resistance from Watts Blake Bearne Reserves to win 3-0 at Abbrook Park. Peter Andrews, Dan Beech and Keiran Crocker all scored for the Bees who will play the winner of Saturday’s clash between Brixham AFC Thirds and Barton Athletic Reserves in the final four.

Barton’s first team have made it through to the quarter-finals of the Firewatch Devon Senior Cup after winning 5-4 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at Alphington Reserves. Barton will be the only SDFL side in with a chance of a county trophy after Upton Athletic crashed out 7-1 at Winkleigh in the same competition while Barton Reserves lost out 2-1 at home to South Molton in the A&S Devon Intermediate Cup.

The top three in Division One all won this weekend. Leaders Watts Blake Bearne beat Riviera United 6-2 at Whiterock with six different names on the score sheet: Cam Gill, Billy Clinch, Ant Williams, Matty Battishill, Luke Pellowe and Sam Stowell. Kingskerswell and Chelston hammered Dittisham United 10-0, Ash Beetschen with four goals, while Harbertonford defeated Watcombe Wanderers Reserves 5-0 at the Steve Jane Memorial Ground.

WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier leaders Torbay Police lost their unbeaten league record last Saturday while a rampant East Allington United took full advantage.

The Police were on top in the first half at home to Ipplepen Athletic but couldn’t convert their chances and came up against an inspired visiting goalkeeper. Despite their dominance, the Bees did look vulnerable at the back and conceded before half-time. When captain Luke Dandy was brought down in the box in the second half, he took the penalty himself and brought the hosts level. The Police once again looked the most likely but were caught out by a low, long-range free-kick and once more Ipplepen were in front. Then, a defensive mix-up resulted in a second penalty of the afternoon, this time for Ipplepen and the visitors fired home to earn a 3-1 victory.

Finley Bullen returned to haunt his former club Beesands Rovers as the East Allington goalscorer put four past the home side in an afternoon they will probably want to forget. Luke Forward also scored four times with Dan Bowles adding two to his tally in an emphatic 10-0 win for the Pirates who go second.

Brendan Boddy and Callum Glew made it back-to-back wins for Brixham AFC Reserves as they defeated Newton Abbot ’66 2-1 at Wall Park, Liam Ashwell with the Sixes’ effort. The remaining top tier game saw Ivybridge Town Reserves move above Buckfastleigh Rangers with their second league win of the season. Joe Algar, Adam Lake and Bradley Lowe were on target for the Ivies with Arren De Young and substitute Jay Barnard scoring for Rangers.

Salcombe Town ended Ilsington Villa’s cup run to take their place in the last 16 of the Herald Cup. Strikes from Ben Tapper, Ash Yeoman, Sam Inch, Joshua Harris and a Tom Smith own goal helped the Crabs to a deserved victory with a Jamie Beer free-kick consolation only for Villa.

Also into the hat are First Divison leaders Watts Blake Bearne after they dispatched Premier side Plympton Athletic Reserves 3-0 with goals from Billy Clinch, Cam Gill and Chris George. Harbertonford put two past Kingsbridge and Kellaton United without reply at the Loddiswell Playing Fields while Riviera United won 2-1 at Teign Village to also make the Third Round.

Meadowbrook Athletic are finally through to the Second Round after winning 2-1 at home to Paignton Villa Reserves.

A nine goal thriller in the Fred Hewings Cup saw Ipplepen Athletic Reserves beat Torquay Town Reserves 6-3 to go through to the semi-finals.

Kingskerswell and Chelston’s unbeaten start in Division One is over as they lost out 5-3 away to Stoke Gabriel Reserves who move above them into third spot on goal difference.

Rain again disrupted play in the WBW (Solicitors) South Devon Football League with only three games fit to go ahead.

In the afternoon’s only league game, East Allington United moved up to third in the Premier Division with a 6-2 home victory over Ipplepen Athletic. A strike from James Ivatts and an own goal had given the Pirates a narrow 2-1 half-time lead before braces from Jamie Batchelor and Fin Bullen sealed the points in the second half.

The other two games were in the Herald Cup with Totnes and Dartington Reserves and Riviera United making the wise decision to move to the Ashmoor Sports Centre to get their delayed First Round tie out of the way. Division One side Rivi set up a Second Round tie at Teign Village by winning 3-1 against their Division Three opponents, their goals coming from Josh Passmore-Tarpey (a penalty), Callum Hale and substitute Matt O’Shea; Jake Osman netted for Tots, also from the penalty spot.

After defeating fellow Premier side Newton Abbot ’66 in the First Round, Ivybridge Town Reserves were sent out of the competition by Division Two outfit Babbacombe Corinthians at Windmill Hill. Jordan Bradshaw claimed a hat-trick for Corries with Joshua and Samuel Swann each scoring as Corries won 5-3.
