A full 13 points separated bottom club Millwey Rise 2nds and mid-table Westexe Park Rangers so this must have been the result of the day as Rise came back to Cloakham 5-2 winners.

After impressing with a run of victories earlier in the season, Axminster Town have gone six games without a win and have dropped to tenth place in the South West Peninsular Premier East division.
This afternoon (Saturday) the Tigers suffered another defeat, losing 3-0 to top of the table Okehampton Argyle before a crowd of around 75.
LYME Regis Reserves exited the Bill Slee Cup this afternoon, beaten 4-2 by South Zeal 2nds who play in a division below them in the Devon and Exeter League.
In a dismal first half display, the Seasiders' second string were torn apart by the young Mid Devon side and were 3-0 down in the opening half hour, having conceded two penalties, one of which was saved by the Lyme keeper, Rob Harp.
Although Axminster's 1-1 draw at home to Holesworthy saw the Tigers dominate much of the game, especially in the first half, their first win of 2022 eluded them again.
In his programme notes manager Dan Prettejohn spoke about the lack of the team's lack of confidence, especially in the defeat against Crediton the previous week, but he did not think "the alarm bells were ringing just yet".

THE much-awaited clash between Lyme Regis 1sts and Axminster Town Reserves produced an entertaining game this afternoon (Saturday), watched by the biggest crowd of the season at the Davey Fort.
Neither side have played to their expectations this season in the Devon and Exeter Premier division, struggling on occasions to field sides, but Lyme soon established the lead with a clinical finish in the 10th minute from Fred Parsons.
THERE was much conjecture about the comings and goings at Ottery St Mary before Lyme Regis 1st team's home fixture with the bottom club in the Devon and Exeter Premier division.
With a new manager, Rikki Pitter, having taken over The Otters' second eleven, the Lyme boss, Julien Simier, was taking little notice of Ottery's league position and was sure the Seasiders had a diffiult task on their hands.
