BOVEY Tracey 2nd XI further compounded the misery of Beesands Rovers when the pair met on Saturday, September 19, reports Alastair Muirden.

Cam Gill, Sam Stowell and Ben Moyle were on target for the Moorlanders who won 3-2 at the Western Counties Roofing Ground, making it six points from an available nine in the SDFL’s Division One.

Beesands meanwhile have kickstarted the new campaign with three straight losses and so their wait for a breakthrough rolls on.

Elsewhere in that division, Buckland Athletic 2nd XI were victorious once more, cruising to a 6-2 success over Babbacombe Corries.

Paignton Villa and Watcombe Wanderers have the same record as Bovey, Villa beating Watcombe 3-2 on the road and edging ahead of them in the standings as a result.

The leaders though are Mount Gould who won by a familiar scoreline, 3-2, to continue their 100% start.

In the top-flight, leaders Lakeside Athletic were taken to the wire by Newton Abbot Spurs 2nds but a 3–2 victory keeps them on maximum points from the opening three games.

Right behind them are Ilsington Villa thanks to a 2-nil win over Pymouth True Blues, Dan Langford and Jamie Soper finding the back of the net.

Paignton Saints moved into third spot with an eyebrow raising 3–1 win at Newton Abbot 66, Billy Reay, Jo Perry and Connor Stewart got the goals for Saints.

Kingsteignton Athletic got a first win of the campaign with Mark Voisey coming out of retirement to score both of their goals against Elburton Villa 2nds.

Galmpton United extended their perfect start in Division Two with a comprehensive 5-1 win at Ashburton whilst Oli Critchlow starred for Kingskerswell, notching four of their five goals against Paignton Villa 2nds.

Liverton United, in their first game of the campaign, enjoyed a 3-0 victory over Newton Spurs 3rds.

Ipplepen Athletic 2nds remain atop the Division Three standings after beating Liverton 2nds 4-1 and Kingsteignton 2nds were 2-1 victors over Buckfastleigh Rangers. Nathen De’Ath scored both goals and the result keeps the Rams on two from two and in second place.

Newton Rovers moved up five places with a close 3-2 win at Stoke Gabriel TP who were also playing their first game under new management.

Pre-season favourites Horrabridge Rangers clicked into gear with a 3–1 victory oner Chudleigh Athletic 2nds to record their first three points in the SDFL.

Division Four is going to be a tight competition as after only two games, only two teams have no points.

Buckland Athletic 3rds are one of four teams on six points and they lead on goal difference. This week they put in a 4 – 2 win at Waldon Athletic 1sts having been level at the break.

Lakeside Athletic 2nds have played 3 games but their 10–1 win at Paignton Villa 3rds keeps them in second spot, Ilsington Villa 2nds got their second win of the season thanks to a 3–1 win at Brixham Town 2nds to join the top four.

In Division Five, Tamerton Foliot lead the way with three wins from three. This week’s 9-nil win at Bakers Park over Newton Rovers 2nds certainly helped their goal difference.

Paignton Saints 3rds eased into second place with a 2-nil win over Newton Albion and finally, to a result that you don’t often see in the SDFL.

WBB v Waldon Athletic 2nds ended in a goalless draw that leaves the pair on four and three points respectively.
