NORTH DEVON LEAGUE ROUND-UP – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7

HOLSWORTHY Reserves picked up a useful point in the Premier Division as they drew 1-1 at Braunton on Saturday.

Both Morwenstow and Shebbear United were in action at home on Saturday in the Senior Division.

While the Greens were losing 4-1 at home to Boca Seniors Reserves, Shebbear thrashed Northam Lions 6-1 with a dominant second half display.

Chris Wildern was the hero with four, while Joe Andrew and Taylor Quick were also on target.

Up at the Shop Playing Field, Morwenstow had an afternoon to forget against Boca.

They trailed 3-0 at the break, and although Jacob Jollow gave them a sniff, Boca ran out comfortable winners.

Morwenstow Reserves’ tough start to the season continued as they twice lost in Intermediate One.

They welcomed neighbours Bradworthy on Tuesday night and went down 3-2 against the Horniwinks who are back after a year off.
