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.

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.
They were not fazed by the unbeaten opposition who had put seven past them on the opening day of the season (albeit a very different looking team to the one the Seasiders had been able to field in the last two weeks).
