East Budleigh Reserves were back to winning ways against Colyton last Saturday but the Jays were not comfortable until Ben Wilks added a clinching goal a quarter of an hour from the end.

Dan Atkinson’s effort was deflected in by a Colyton defender midway through the second half and he then flicked on a throw from Lewis Fletcher to find Wilks, who produced a tidy finish to notch for the third consecutive game.
