IPPLEPEN Athletic had no scheduled game in the Devon Football League this weekend but they didn’t lose any ground at the foot of the table either way.

They sit 16th out of 16 teams and the pair above them, North Molton Sports Club and Bere Alston United, both suffered defeats.

North Molton lost 2-1 away at fourth-placed Plymouth Marjon, Adam Jerrett scoring their goal, whilst Bere Alston were beaten on their travels by Budleigh Salterton. Oliver Partridge and Charlie Skinner scored the goals for Budleigh as they moved ahead of Thorverton and into 10th.

Other results in the division saw leaders Alphington beat Dartmouth AFC and Ottery St Mary & Plymstock United share the spoils to name just a couple.

Looking ahead now and Ipplepen return to action on Saturday, 22 March when they host second-placed University of Exeter in a very difficult fixture indeed.
