A very young Uplyme Reserves couldn't quite hold out against a very competent, experienced Kingsbury side who ran out 5 - 0 winners.
"It was only 1-0 at half-time," said joint manager Steve Gillan. "But the opponents were excellent on dead ball situations and every goal came from a corner or free kick phase.
A CUP game for Uplyme 1sts meant they welcomed Tavyside FC, unbeaten in their respective West Devon league and in excellent form according to their coaching team.
But they knew within a minute they had a game on their hands when Alex Jones, from the right-hand side of the penalty box, played in Daley Holmes, who slotted in a clinical finish to put the Swallows one up.

The young Tigers once again put on a goal scoring show against lower opponents Stoke, to go up into second place in the Yeovil League!
BEFORE the kick-off of Lyme Regis Reserves' away game against Devon and Exeter Division Three leaders Westexe Park Rangers, manager Matt Preece could see that his team was focused, ready to compete.
