They are also just two points behind second placed Ivybridge Town with a game in hand. It looks like the title will go down to the wire and we will have a big say in it. Apart from today’s visitors, Ivybridge Town (next Wednesday, April 9), Bodmin Town (Saturday, April 26), and Exmouth Town (Wednesday, April 30) all have to travel to Horsdon Park. There is also the juicy local derby away to near neighbours Witheridge on Easter Friday (April 18). I am confident I will be able to field stronger teams in these matches than I have been able to field recently. In our last home match against Bovey Tracey we produced a much better display and throughly deserved our victory. However, I again had to make wholesale changes for last Saturday’s visit to Godolphin with seven of the team that faced Bovey unavailable – and no substitutes either. ..............................................

When Steve Harris made it 2-1 it looked like we would go on and win. It was still only 2-1 with 15 minutes remaining. However, the glut of recent matches, and the fact I had no substitutes, told as we ran out of steam in the closing minutes. We were on our knees at the death and Godolphin were able to net four goals. I even had to keep Steve Harris on the field despite him having cracked two ribs! Enjoy BUXS 33
