Bucky Rangers 2nd XI were on the receiving end of a 9-1 thumping away at Liverton United in Division Two and East Allington United 2nd XI were also beaten, but by much finer margins.

Aidan Corcoran scored twice for them with Jake Blamey also striking but it ended 4-3 to the visitors at Poole Lane, Barton Athletic, who had a brace of their own from Zach Norton.

Stoke Gabriel & Torbay Police 2nd XI are in a very strong position in third in SDFL Division Three, securing a seventh win of the season in their latest outing.

Whilst Drake FC hammered Brixham Town 11-0, league leaders Ashburton weren’t in action and so SG&TP closed the gap on them to four points- Drake are three ahead in second but have played two more games thus far.

There was yet another nine-goal thriller across the SDFL, this time involving Totnes & Dartington 2nd XI, although winning the second half wasn’t enough for to them to gain anything from the game as a whole. They were defeated 5-4 at home by Liverton United 2nd XI, rounding their November record out at two wins and two defeats in all competitions.

Lastly, to Division Four, where Kingsbridge & Kellaton United shared the spoils with Broadhempston in a 2-2 draw, a first draw of the campaign for the pair of them.
