Exmouth Town are back with that winning feeling – and what a win too – after a 1-0 South West Peninsula League Premier Division, Southern Road over Tavistock.

Seven days before Town had suffered home cup heart break as Cadbury Heath came back from a goal down to win 4-3 with two goals in the final five minutes. However, this time round Town struck late, not quite as late – there were 72 minutes on the clock when the games only goal was scored, but it was enough for Kevin Hills man to claim arguably their finest win in the league this season.

Until Tuesday night’s 7-2 thrashing at Bodmin Town, Tavistock had been unbeaten in a dozen league games, winning 11 of them and drawing the other.

The win means Town are now just three points behind second in the table Tavvy, who have played a game more.
