Axminster Reserves continued their high-scoring form with a 7-0 victory over Pinhoe 1st on Saturday following a 9-1 win over East Budleigh the previous week.
Saturday's kick-off was delayed to 4.30pm so as not to clash with the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh.

The Perry Street Spring Series started with Uplyme 1sts facing a tough test at home to Division 1 team Pymore.

Axminster Town manager was a bit concerned when his Reserve side were given two games in three days after the long lockdown period.
But he believes it actually did them a favour. The Tigers second string struggled in their first game back in the Devon and Exeter League Division Two East with a 2-2 draw at neighbours Millwey Rise on Easter Saturday.

LYME Regis 1st started positively on a very open and uneven pitch and dominated the opening half an hour of the Dorset Senior Trophy against Poole Borough, creating three or four clear openings.
Against the run of play Poole took the lead after a quick counter attack when their best player on the day broke through from centre mid and lobbed keeper Brett Garner from 25 yards.
Lyme Regis Reserves were well on their way to another three points at home to Clyst Valley 2nds – and then gave away two late goals to leave managers Matt Preece and Dec Ellis frustrated, especially after last week's 8-0 victory.
Before kick-off the two teams stood in silent tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh.
