In local rugby on Saturday Exmouth Cockles will be looking to recover from two very heavy defeats by Weston Super Mare sides when they have a visit from Ivybridge to the Imperial Ground but Exeter University should have no difficulty in sealing another easy 5 points when they entertain bottom club Okehampton at Topsham Road.

In the South West One Division Sidmouth travel to the Rectory where they take on third placed Devonport services but Crediton have home advantage when Cornish side St Austell visit Blagdon Ground while, in the Western Counties League Teignmouth travel to Cornwall to face next to bottom Falmouth with Tiverton also having an away trip when they go to Chard but after their first win of the season last weekend, Honiton have home advantage with the visit of Penryn.

Finally in the Devon and Cornwall Division Withycombe entertain league leaders Pirates Amateurs at Raleigh Park where victory would open the door for Topsham to regain top spot if they beat struggling Cornish side Hayle at the Bonfire Field.

Third placed Cullompton are also at home when Torquay Athletic visit Stafford Park.
