IVYBRIDGE Town ended their South West Peninsula League season in style with a 4-2 away win at Teignmouth on Wednesday.

The game had a 6.45 pm kick-off because of Teignmouth’s lack of floodlights and, although the early kick off disrupted the usual pre-match preparations, it did not seem to disrupt the Ivies as they created a flurry of early chances before taking the lead with a Luke Forward volley from a Sean Thompson cross in the 16^th minute.
