Only one WBW (Solicitors) SDFL Premier fixture survived the late October soaking last Saturday with Brixham AFC Reserves hosting an in-form Plympton Athletic Reserves side looking for their third straight win and clean sheet. They didn’t quite manage the latter but did win the game 4-1 to climb to second in the table albeit having played more games than any other team.
The visitors’ goals were supplied by Matt Mazzoni, Moses Sonko, Ashley White and substitute Thomas Swabey with Dalton Sanders grabbing a consolation goal for the Fishermen.
There were no fixtures in Division One but Galmpton United made it seven unbeaten in Division Two in a 3-3 draw at Babbacombe Corinthians. It was testimony to the resilience of the Greens who found themselves three down at half-time after goals from Jordan Bradshaw, Daniel Garswood and Curtis Marshall gave the home side a great head start. But strikes from Will Baker, Cameron Lane and Savash Zulhayir saw Galmpton earn a point which preserves the four point gap between themselves and unbeaten leaders Upton Athletic. Upton were also in action and also shared six goals with their opponents, Paignton Saints. Louis Baker-Thornley, Jordan Bastow and Rui de Garces found the net for Upton with Jason Dingley, Jamie Micklewright and Aaron Underhill on target for Saints.
The only other two games to go ahead were in Division Three. Gary Moore struck twice for unbeaten Bishopsteignton United who go back to the top of the table following a 5-3 home win over Chudleigh Athletic Thirds. Tommy Kenneth Trout, Carl Way and sub Michael Collins also netted for the Bishops with Joe Potter scoring a brace and Charlie Leisk a single for Chudleigh in this high-scoring encounter. A further eight goals were scored at Furzeham Green where hosts Brixham AFC Thirds drew 4-4 with visiting Kingsteignton Athletic Third. Garry Drew scored the day’s obly hat-trick with Stuart Pointon also on the mark for Brixham. Samuel Tooley doubled up for the Rams with Matthew Preston and Harry Warren also scoring.
