Disappointing day for Swallows

UPLYME had a very disappointing Saturday, with both the first team and Reserves losing.

A young Reserves team went down 4 - 0 to a much more experienced Combe A, while the 1sts suffered a very disappointing 2 - 0 loss to Falcons in Division Six of the Devon and Exeter League.

The firsts went into half-time at 0 - 0, but failed to put any real quality together in the second half, succumbing to two simple goals.

The management team were not impressed, saying: "We had a number of regulars missing, but should have had enough quality in our starting 11 to play much better.

"We were second to everything, failed to put together any great football and, instead, got involved in constant arguments and squabbles which affected the whole team. We need a response against a good team, next week, if want to look at promotion."

Uplyme 1sts retain their third position in Division Six and this coming Saturday are at home to Buckleigh who are four places below them in the table
