NEWTON Abbot Spurs had a day to forget as they were beaten by the 10 men of Torridgeside AFC on Saturday, April 18, in the SW Peninsula League.

Despite going down a player early on, the visitors scored three unanswered goals to take all three points home with them.

Spurs have a swift chance at revenge as the reverse fixture takes place on Wednesday (Apr 22) and they then round out their season away at Bridport FC on Saturday, needing to beat Torridgeside to hold onto fourth place.

Meanwhile, Teignmouth AFC drew 0-0 at Crediton United back on Tuesday 14, in their penultimate game of the season.

They will conclude their campaign on Thursday evening (Apr 23) with a South Devon derby duel against Bovey Tracey AFC.

If they beat Crediton (or drawn with them) between now and then, Bovey will have already been crowned as champions. Otherwise, the Moorlanders will be looking to get it done at Coombe Valley against their local rivals.

For Teignmouth, there is far less riding on the game but they will still want to earn bragging rights as well as maintaining 13th place ahead of Bishops Lydeard, who are just one point behind them.

Moving over to the Jewson Western League and Buckland Athletic have learned their final finishing spot in the standings.

The Bucks were in the playoff places for large parts of the season but poor from in the last month or two cost them a chance at post-season promotion.

On the weekend, Newquay AFC beat Shepton Mallet 2-0 at home in their final game, moving ahead of Buckland and into sixth as a result.

At the time of writing, Paulton Rovers, Clevedon Town and Sidmouth are locked into the playoffs. They will be joined by either Barnstaple Town or Torpoint Athletic with the other lifting the title and gaining automatic promotion.
