Kentisbeare beat Dawlish United 4-0 in the other top flight game.
East Budleigh Reserves went down to a 6-2 defeat at Pinhoe in Division 2 East and there was a narrow 2-1 loss for Lympstone Reserves at home to Ottery St Mary 3rds in Division 4 East.
Exmouth Rovers will look to continue their strong restart at Dunkeswell on Saturday and a big ask for East Budeligh Reserves, who travel to high-flying Axminster Town Reserves.
