IN THIS hard-fought Dorset Junior Cup encounter over decent opponents Sturminster Newton, the scoreline flattered the home side in the end.
Both teams were fielding unusual sides due to Dorset cup eligibility, with the home side able to draft in a Western League goalkeeper.

MILLWEY RISE FC 1ST X1
Uplyme 2
A return to football was celebrated with a comfortable 2 - 0 victory for Uplyme 1st in Perry Street Division Two on Saturday.
Axminster Under 12s 4
Switching the game to the smaller 3G pitch and goals resulted in a bit of a scrappy game but the excellent Flynn Hartford scored a superb hat-trick with his quick movement and close control.
LYME Regis Reserves' new management team got off to a blazing start on Saturday with a 6-2 victory over Devon & Exeter league Division 1 East opponent, Tipton St John.
Former Millwey Rise manager Shane Featherstone, a Lyme player for the past three season, and defender Mark Batey have taken over the running of the Seasiders' second string after Nick Tregale and Darren Stewart stood down due to work commitments.

Axminster Reserves returned to action at Tiger Way on Saturday after four weeks in lockdown in fine form, banging in six first-half goals against Devon & Exeter league Division Two East contenders Feniton.
The Tigers lined up with three players missing but any concerns that manager Dan Prettejohn had about his players being a touch rusty after going four weeks without a game was soon put to rest when Charlie Wilson lobbed the Feniton keeper from 25 yards with the game only two minutes old.

Millwey Rise 2nd X1 travelled to Starcross to play HT Dons in the Devon & Exeter Division 4 East and began very much on the front foot but then quickly found themselves under pressure as the 'Dons' started to get a foothold in the game.
South West Peninsular League Premier East
Axminster Town – No fixture
Football returns to Tiger Way tomorrow when Axminster Reserves resume their Devon and Exeter League Division 2 East campaign.
The Tigers second string go into the fixture topping the table with a three-point advantage over second placed Ottery St Mary. Their opponents, Feniton 2nds, will be no push over, however, sitting in third place but with only two wins and three draws out of their six fixtures, this is a game which Dan Prettejohn's team will expect to win.
