Axminster Reserves, favourites to win promotion in the first season back in Devon & Exeter League football, consolidated their position at the top of Division Two East with a 9-1 victory over East Budleigh 2nds.
Having come out of the league for just one season, Axe had to drop down a level on re-entry and with the squad that manager Dan Prettejohn having put together, Ottery St Mary 2nds look like the only club likely to challenge them for the Division Two title . Axminster beat them 4-2 when they met earlier in the season and so far this season Axe have knocked in 35 goals with only four against.
