Offwell Rangers fell to a fourth defeat in seven Division Three outings when beaten at Lympstone.
Rangers went down by the odd goal in five in a contest every bit as close as the score line suggests.
Twice Rangers led only for the home side to net their winner in the closing stages.
On Saturday Rangers, who sit one place and one point off the relegation places, entertain South Zeal United who will begin the game four places and nine points better off having played four games more than Rangers.
