Paignton Saints seeking more glory
Storm Darragh wipes out South Devon football
The only South Devon League game to survive was on the artificial pitch at Coach Road, where Premier Division Paignton Saints avoided a potential banana skin Herald Cup fixture against Newton Rovers, who are currently in the bottom three of Division Two.
Both teams did well to deal with the windy conditions but Saints were more able to keep the ball on the ground and play to their strengths.
A hat-trick for Veysey and singles for Knapman and Rainbow gave Saints a comfortable victory and puts them into the hat for the third round.
The weather forecast for the week ahead is positive, so the cup games that were planned for last Saturday should be fixtured for December 14 but this is dependent on pitch availability and outstanding county cup games. Supporters are advised to check the South Devon League Full Time website for details.
This is the last Saturday of fixtures before the grassroots winter break kicks in to support all stakeholders to enjoy the Christmas period with family and friends. The South Devon Football League returns on January 4, 2025.
The members of the league management wish all players, officials and volunteers a very happy Christmas.
