ON Saturday, December 2, the weather struck another blow against Sandford Football Club, this time it was frost giving the rain a rest.

After two pitch inspections, one at 9am and the other at 11am, the ground was still frozen in areas so the First Team game against local rivals Crediton Seconds had to be called off.

This coming Saturday, weather permitting, the First Team are away to league leaders Alphington Firsts.

Kick-off is at 2.15pm at the Chronicles ground in Exeter.

The Second Team travelled to Exeter to play Beacon Knights and came away with a creditable 1-0 win, thanks to a goal by James Stanbury.

This Saturday they are home to Cheriton Fitzpaine, kick-off at 2.15pm.

Hopefully both teams will be able to get some more points in the bag. Good luck to both.
