AFTER a few indifferent results Lyme Regis 1st team were determined to get back to winning ways when Sidmouth Town 2nds visited the Davey Fort on Saturday.

Uplyme Reserves 2, Farway United 2nds 0 AFTER no game last week Uplyme hosted Farway United and the Swallows looked well up for it before kick-off. From the kick-off, the Swallows pressed Farway, keeping them mostly in there own half. A great cross from the left-hand side of the pitch found Brad Bowditch who chested it down for his left footed shot to find the back of the net to make open the scoring. Within a few minutes another great through ball split the Farway defence. Bowditch chased through beating defenders to slot the ball into the back of the net again only to be denied by an offside. The score remained 1-0 at the interval but Uplyme started the second half putting pressure on the visitors with some hard tackles from both teams going in. With about 15 minutes left of the game a great shot from Tyler Wheeler was cleared off the goal line only to hit upright and come back out. Uplyme kept pressing forward winning a corner with just a few minutes left to play. Bowditch stepped up to take the corner and put it straight into the back of the net, making it 2-0 at final whistle. This was another outstanding, solid team performance with Aiden Hulbert at right-back and midfielders Connor Newton and Will Osbourne dominating. Man-of-the match went to Will Osbourne.
Colyton moved into seventh position in the Devon and Exeter Premier division with a convincing 5-1 victory over Dawlish United.
The Colyton goals came from Jake Collier, Jake Richards, Callum Somers, Matthew Rowson, and George Richards.
Axminster started brightly against a quality Ivybridge team but ultimately a lack of discipline again cost them two points in a 1-1 draw.
The Tigers' good start brought an early reward with Breaden Symes scoring from close range after Chris McGrath header from a corner rebounded off the crossbar.

AFTER a disappointing draw against a very physical Winsham last month, Charmouth ran out easy winners in the return fixture with a 7-0 victory to maintain their second spot in Perry Street Division Two.
It was shakey first couple of minutes but Charmouth soon sprung to life and in the fourth minute Brin Seward set up Ashley Williams to open the scoring, setting the theme of the game. The second followed just two minutes later with Ashley Williams chasing down the keeper and slotting home for 2-0.
