BOVEY Tracey AFC and Teignmouth AFC booked their respective spots in the quarter finals of the Walter C Parson League Cup on Saturday, November 29, but in very different ways.

The Moorlanders welcomed SW Peninsula League West strugglers Launceston AFC to the Western Counties Roofing Ground and they showed no mercy whatsoever.

Under Ben Gerring, they have often enjoyed lightning fast starts and this was the case once again, centre-back David Rowe heading home “an absolute peach” of a corner from Lewis Perring with just two minutes on the clock.

Launceston had a swift opportunity to respond from the penalty spot but Dom Aplin got down to save the effort well. The afternoon didn’t get any better for the Cornish side from here.

Cal Leech doubled the Bovey lead after 11 minutes with Harvey Coggins, Jack Brimming and Stuart Bowker all finding the net next, putting their side in a commanding position.

Leech struck once more and Levi Landricombe then added a seventh in added time.

Nobody could have blamed Bovey for letting up here and yet, Bowker was on target again within minutes of the restart.

Josh Webber scored goals nine and ten to give Bovey Tracey their biggest win of the season so far, and what a season it has been for Gerring and his players. This takes their unbeaten streak for the 2025/26 campaign, in all competitions, to 21 games.

Teignmouth AFC were also in action at home, taking on Wadebridge Town, a side currently sitting 10th in the Premier West.

Harry Breslan and Zak Khadaroo, two familiar names on the scoresheet, fired Teignmouth into a 2-0 goal advantage at Coombe Valley.

It was all going swimmingly for Liam Jones’ team with the club themselves writing on Twitter that they were “two goals up and cruising.”

A late push from Wadebridge paid dividends though as the visitors scored not once but twice in added time, forcing a penalty shootout out of nowhere.

The Teignmouth misery was compounded when their first two spot-kicks were saved only for Chris Wearing to respond with a pair of stops of his own.

Sudden death arrived and Wadebridge sent one flying over the bar, leaving Teigns the chance to win the tie which is exactly what they did, young Elliot Bowery remaining composed to convert the decisive penalty.

Bovey Tracey and Teignmouth continue representing South Devon in this cup competition with their quarter final fates soon to be revealed.

Meanwhile, Newton Abbot Spurs were scheduled to face Okehampton Argyle at Simmons Park in the league but this one fell foul of the weather.

Amidst the woeful forecast, Spurs are set to visit Honiton Town on Saturday, December 6, whilst Teignmouth are at home against Torrington AFC and Bovey Tracey have their intriguing FA Vase clash with Downton FC.
