FOUR goals from Brad Ausden, along with strikes by Luke Mortimore and Luke Alden, kept Okehampton Argyle hot on the heels of Ottery St Mary at the top of the S&W Division of the Scott Richards Solicitors this weekend, as they defeated Plymouth Argyle Development 6-1.

The Otters have played a game more than Okehampton and continued their excellent start with a 3-0 win at Bere Alston, with Pete Grover scoring twice and Ryan Burrows also on target. Buckland Athletic Reserves maintained their 100% start with a 5-0 success at Paignton Villa.

A solitary goal from Carl Roles was enough to give Newton Abbot Spurs Reserves a derby win at Kingsteignton Athletic, while the Athletic of Lakeside enjoyed a happier afternoon, defeating Roselands 4-1.

A hat-trick from Sam Davey and Fraser Bricknell’s brace gave Plymstock United a 5-2 victory at Paignton Saints, and there were goals from Dan Edwards, Scott Wellington, James Yates and Chris Harvey in Plympton Athletic’s 4-1 win over Totnes and Dartington.

There was a ludicrous 24-0 win for the University of Exeter over Witheridge, keeping the students top of the N&E Division. Newtown hold second position after a 1-1 draw with Exmouth Town Reserves, Cory O’Donoghue and Dylan King the scorers.

Teignmouth continued their 100% record with a 5-1 demolition of Chudleigh Athletic, while a brace from Dan Western helped Topsham Town to a 4-1 success at home to Clyst Valley, with Ben Watson and Jack Greenslade also on target.

St Martins bagged a narrow 2-1 win at Budleigh Salteron and the final two games ended in stalemate. It was goalless between Braunton and Heavitree, while Liverton and Alphington shared a 1-1 draw.
