Let us start with my village team.
Last week Liverton won their first match away at local rivals Bovey Tracey. The minor disappointment in this victory is that it was Liverton's first team and Bovey Tracey's reserves that were up against each other.
This week my boys took on Braunton from North Devon. Braunton took the lead but Liverton fought back to 1-1. Braunton took the lead once more and again Liverton fought back to 2-2. Braunton scored another and this time Liverton seemed to lose heart. Braunton went on to win 5-2 but that result is not really a true reflection of the match. Braunton should have won 10-2. They missed too many good chances to be title contenders.
Elmore took on Holsworthy in the South West Peninsula League Premier Division East. I think they will be happy with their 5-1 victory. The match report says that Bradley Kelly from the penalty spot, Jordan Casey, Daniel Tapp, Will Pinnock and Harry Butler scored.
Exmouth Town seem to have played very few league matches due to their participation in the various cups. Winning in the F.A.Cup, once via a replay has meant that four of the last eight matches have been F.A.Cup matches. Two have been Western Premier League matches and the other two have been F.A.Vase matches, the latest one on Saturday being away at Cadbury Heath. The outcome is that there will be another F.A.Vase match as Exmouth won 5-1. A comprehensive victory. I wonder who they will get in the next round ... checking ... Home against Portland United on 12th October.
Barnstaple were at home to Slimbridge having achieved a season record of 2 wins and 5 defeats. That record can now be amended to 2 wins and 6 defeats. The team lost 3-0 at home. As usual the Barnstaple website has not been updated so I have gone to the Slimbridge website for the information. Their match report suggests that Barnstaple started and finished strongly but Slimbridge did the ball playing in the middle of the match and scored all the goals.
The Tiverton match report starts with the phrase "The new look management team promised a different brand of football at the start of the season" and mentions that Hartley Wintney scored first. It was the second half performance that earned the visitors the win. An own goal was followed by goals from Jordan Bastin, Jared Lewington and River Allen in the fifth minute of eight minutes injury time.
Weymouth seems to be having a positive season with a single bank holiday blip so far. Travelling to St Albans city at the weekend they came away with a 4-1 win. Their website lists the goalscorers in a strange order but there were two goals in each half. Yemi Odubade scored after 33 minutes. Stephane Zubar scored just before half time. Shaun Hobson scored after 70 minutes and Jake McCarthy scored in the last minute. I love their website name though, uptheterras.co.uk.
Torquay travelled to Chesterfield in the National League. Torquay are mid table and Chesterfield are in the relegation zone so it has to be seen as a failure that Chesterfield ran out 1-0 winners. Torquay take on Dagenham & Redbrige next week and they are in the playoff zone so perhaps the gulls will raise their game for that one.
So to the league and you can do your own research here.
Exeter drew 2-2 at home to Leyton Orient.
Southend drew 3-3 at home to Fleetwood Town.
Brentford travelled to Preston North End and went down 2-0.
On Sunday my main team built me up with a 2-0 lead. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored from a brilliant turn and shot and a simple tap in. I am pleased that he is scoring freely but the ever present problem of the defence returned to haunt the gunners. Sokratis passed the ball straight to Deulofeu and Tom Cleverly finished cleverly. After that the whole team lost it and Watford could easily have won the game but Bernd Leno kept it to a 2-2 draw.
My life has been busy lately and I stayed up late for an online game that my team won. The effort needed did distract me from football. I have to decide where my priorities lie but winning was sweet.
