March 11, 2011: Devon Sunday Cup Semi-finals Results It was a day of mixed fortunes for the two North Area sides flying the flag in their respective County Cup semi-finals. Down at Tarka Athletico Borough saw off Wheelpower in emphatic style. However if Wheelpower were half as good at playing football as they were at moaning then it could have been a different game. Borough scored early and the goals flowed throughout the game as they knocked the ball around comfortably and were rarely threatened at the back. Wheelpower's day was summed up when they had a player sent off early in the second hald and then scored an own goal. The match ended 8-0 and will now see Borough play Kings Tamerton Community Association FC who beat Wonford in the other semi-final. The final will be played at Newton Abbot on April 15th at 11.00am. Meanwhile at Tews Lane, Barnstaple Sundays came up against a very strong Team Badlands who managed to score 10 goals with 1 in reply. A good first experience for the Barnstaple Sundays team and congratulations on getting that far. March 10, 2011: Millwey Rise 1-0 Fremington - Devon Intermediate Cup Semi-final In total contrast with North Devon, Axminster was bathed in sunshine as a crowd of over 150 witnessed an enthralling game. Millwey got the early breakthrough after one way traffic from Fremington. A low shot across the goal just crept in at the far corner after 7 minutes for what proved to be the decisive goal. The rest of the half was pretty even in terms of possession but it was Fremington who always looked the more likely to score. Jamie Pow in the Fremington goal had very little to do all game but a Fremington equaliser just wouldn't come. Fremington dominated the second half. Tireless running from Andy King and Wayne Parkhouse for any scrap of the ball provided opportunities but a vital goal eluded them. The closest was a chip by Andy King over the Millwey keeper only for it to be cleared by a defender. Substitute Josh Hooper provided a fresh pair of legs with some great runs at the Millwey defence but they held firm. It was a cracking effort from the whole team but at the end of the day it is the result that counts and it will be Millwey Rise in the final and best wishes go to them. March 04, 2011: Torridgeside Youth U14s Bow Out Of Devon Cup Despite their best efforts the U14s of Torridgeside Youth could not make an impression against Plymouth Kolts. One particular striker for the Kolts showed his class as he ran the Torrideside defence ragged. On a bitterly cold day with the wind playing a major part the Kolts scored within the first couple of minutes and continued that to the final whistle. Torridgeside never gave up but the final score was 8-0 and no place in the final. February 26, 2011: Fremington and Barnstaple Sundays through to the Semi-Finals Fremington beat Chulmleigh 2-1 on Saturday, in the North Area Final, to secure a semi-final spot in the Devon Intermediate Cup. It was a close match 0-1 at half time. Fremington had a goal disallowed in the first half which some spectators didn't see and went away thinking the score was 3-1! It did finish 2-1 and Fremington will now face Millwey Rise who are currently second position in the Perry Street and District League. Chulmleigh reached the final last year so let's hope Fremington can emulate that achievement. Meanwhile, on Sunday, Barnstaple Sundays over came Marlborough 3-1 to set up a semi final clash against Team Badlands of the Plymouth and West Devon Combination League to be played on 11 March.
