In local football on Saturday once again the weather had it's say with several games postponed due to waterlogged pitches

However thanks to hard work Exmouth Towns home match with Bashley took place but another defeat left them deeper in the relegation zone, with the game scoreless at the break the visitors took the lead midway in the second half which was enough to see them return home with 3 points.

In the Peninsula league east just one local game survived with Cullompton Rangers going down 2-1 at Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police while Axminster Town were knocked out of the WCP Cup 1-0 by Elburton Villa at Tigers way .

In the A& S Devon League Beer Albion lost 1-0 at Exeter side Newtown fc but Ottery St Mary won 3-2 against visitors Elmore Utd at Washbroke Meadow while in the Devon and Exeter leagues there were just two local results with Lympstone Utd beating East Budleigh 3-2 in division one at the Marine camp with Ex Dons going down 3-0 away to Witheridge second eleven in division 6
