Dunkeswell Rovers’ wonderful season continues as they were 3-0 winners of their derby game at Awliscombe. However, there was another surprise defeat for Upottery Reserves, who were beaten 6-3 at home by Central.

In Division Six, Offwell Rangers were edged out by the odd goal in seven when they went down at Amory Green Rovers.
