Upottery Reserves made a superb start to their Macron Devon and Exeter League Division Six season with a 5-1 midweek evening win over Seaton Town Reserves.
The Glebe Park men made a slow start and it was Seaton who almost took the lead, only to be denied by the depth of then crossbar!
That was followed by Upottery glovesman Jake Welch making a super save. This seemed to sting the home side into action and, with 15 minutes on the clock, Sam Farmer got on the end of a loose ball in the area to fire Upottery into the lead. Once ahead, the Glebe Park men settled into their regular game and Farmer doubled his tally with a crisp finish before Brad King netted to make it 3-0 at half-time.
King scored a second early in the second half before Brad Morris came off the bench to slot a penalty and make it 5-0.
Upottery continued to dominate the second half, but no more home goals were forthcoming and Seaton got the late consolation they deserved to complete the scoring.
The Upottery Man of the Match honours were shared between Gavin Richards and Sam Farmer.
