The North Devon League is not the most reliable for Sunday fixtures actually taking place and is sadly one of the worst hit leagues for having teams that cry off from fixtures at short notice. Thankfully, there were no such problems here today, as arriving at the ground an hour before kick off, there were already players from both teams there and pretty much everyone was there by 14.10. It was perhaps helped by the fact that it was 6th versus 1st in the league table and Bridgerule had a resounding 11-0 away win yesterday.

The Referee got the game started five minutes early, on a really hot afternoon, with a two minute drinks break taken halfway through each half. North Molton finally broke the deadlock on 38 minutes, but were pegged back when a clearance off the goal line hit the ‘keeper on the back, rebounding into the net, just before halftime. Bridgerule came on strongly in the second half and could have easily bagged another couple more goals, such was their dominance. The win now sees them move up to fifth in the league table, ten points off today’s visitors.
