NEWTON Abbot Spurs secured a great result away from home on Saturday, November 7.

Matt Hayden’s side made the trip to Torrington AFC in the SW Peninsula League Premier East and came out on top, by two goals to one.

Writing on Twitter, Hayden said: “[We] rode our luck first half but second half [we] came out and absolutely dominated!

“Everyone, to a man, was superb today [and gave a] real, honest performance.”

Shortly before half-time, Torrington went in front courtesy of Jai Randall, only for Jaden Bond to equalise even closer to the break. The Spurs fullback is enjoying a rich vein of form in both directions of travel.

Owen Green then fired Spurs into the lead after just a few second-half minutes, Harry Page setting up the winger.

A discipline outing followed as Spurs dug in and steered themselves to a second straight win.

The season has been far from smooth sailing to date but their last three results suggest an uptick in form. First they battled to a 4-4 draw with rivals Stoke Gabriel & Torbay Police before then beating Okehampton Argyle by five goals to two at The Rec on Halloween.

Elsewhere, Teignmouth AFC had a second successive 1-0 game but were on the losing side this time around.

The weekend prior, Liam Jones’ team edged out Crediton United at Coombe Valley but they returned home empty-handed from Ilfracombe Town on the 7th. Cassius Beeton came off the bench to score.

Meanwhile, there were victories in the division for University of Exeter, Cullompton Rangers, Ilminster Town, Elburton Villa and Torridgeside AFC whilst Honiton Town vs Crediton ended goalless.

Up next, Spurs and Teignmouth are both back at home, hosting University of Exeter and Bridport FC respectively on Saturday, November 14.
