A stunning 10-0 victory for Teignmouth over Heavitree United was enough to lift the Teigns above University of Exeter to reach the summit of the North & East Division in the Scott Richards Solicitors Devon Football League.
While the students were without a game, third-placed Newtown were held to a tight 1-1 draw at home to St Martins. Scott Chambers scored for Newtown and man of the match went to Lee Bailey.
Braunton and Chudleigh shared an entertaining 3-3 draw, while there was another cracker at Liverton. Nick Edmunds and Neil Last gave Livvy a 2-0 lead over Budleigh Salterton but the visitors fought back to 2-2 before Last pinched the win in the second half.
It was the same scoreline at Topsham Town, where the hosts just edged out Exwick Villa in a tremendous local derby. Louis Cane, Lee Radford and Ben Watson scored for Topsham and Ash Hudd and Nathan May on target for Villa.
In the South & West Division, the form of Buckland Athletic Reserves is looking ominous for all rivals, as they moved into second place behind Ottery St Mary after a 9-0 thumping of Waldon Athletic, with Simon Revell grabbing a hat-trick.
Ottery were almost as impressive in their 5-0 victory at Lakeside Athletic, with Matt Webb notching a treble and goals from Jack Hobday and Luka Nickles. There was also a solid win for Roselands at Bere Alston.
Totnes & Dartington continued their resurgence with a 3-2 success at home to Newton Abbot Spurs Reserves and Paignton Saints produced an excellent fightback to defeat high-flying Okehampton Argyle 2-1, thanks to goals from Jamie Micklewright and Sam Alfieri.
