NEWTON Abbot Spurs and Bovey Tracey AFC had their respective visits to Ilminster Town and Okehampton Argyle postponed due to the weather on Saturday, January 17.

The same can’t be said for Teignmouth AFC though who welcomed a struggling Bishops Lydeard side to Coombe Valley for an intriguing SW Peninsula League East affair.

Teignmouth won the reverse of this fixture 1-0 back in September and were 15 points better off than their opponents prior to kick off.

This didn’t shine through on the scoreboard though with Bishops Lydeard prevailing by two goals to one.

Two great performances against high-flyers Bridport FC and Cullompton Rangers will have raised the confidence levels for Liam Jones only for this to be something of a setback- this is just the third time that Bishops have won in the league to date.

They head to Crediton United next with Spurs at Bridport and Bovey travelling to face Ilfracombe Town.
