Sheb, who are one point above the bottom three, scored through Matt Facey.

DEVON AND EXETER LEAGUE DIVISION THREE

Halwill 5 Budleigh Salterton Res 4

THE Blues’ fine run of form continued on Saturday as they edged a nine-goal thriller.

Connor McIntosh’s 20-yard volley put them in front before the East Devon visitors rallied to lead 2-1 at the break.

However the second 45 was the Jason Winser and Luke Potter show once more as Winser scored twice in quick succession to make it 3-2.

Potter, who had been intstrumental after the break, then won a 50/50 with the goalkeeper from a Winser flick-on to make it 4-2, before the latter converted a penalty for his hat-trick.

Budleigh responded with two goals of their own to set up an interesting finale, but Dean Rogers’ side held on for the points.

St Agnes are top for a reason and scored three before the break to give them a healthy advantage.

Bude rallied and Latham added her second to get nerves jangling in the St Agnes camp, but despite some late pressure and near misses, the visitors held on.

In Division Two, Callington Town also welcomed table-toppers as Redruth United headed up from West Cornwall.

Cally have no problem scoring, but were beaten 4-2 despite Harriet Hall’s double.

PREMIER Division Bradworthy bounced back from their disappointing defeat to Westexe Park Rangers the week before by earning a goalless draw at Fremington in North Devon.

Goals from Liberty Kappes and Danielle Bailey weren’t enough in a 3-2 defeat seven days previously, but a clean sheet was enough for a point against their opponents who remain bottom.

Halwill were without a game in the North/East Division.
