Kevin Hill's Exmouth Town became the second side this season to reach the 50-point mark, edging to a 1-0 victory at home to in-form Shepton Mallet.

The only goal of the game came inside the opening 60 seconds, with new signing Levi Landricombe finding the back of the net on his league debut for the hosts.

Top spot still belongs to Tavistock after they defeated Brislington 3-0 at Langsford Park to stay 10 points clear at the summit.

Having gone ahead in the ninth minute through Teigan Rosenquest, the Lambs doubled their lead when top scorer Liam Prynn finished off a smart counter-attack to take his league tally to 30 goals.

The third goal came early in the second half, with Josh Parry finding the bottom corner from long range to get Tavi back on track after back to back league draws.

Another side returning to winning ways were third-from-bottom Street, who secured their first three points since mid-October after beating fifth placed Ilfracombe Town 2-0.

First half goals from Josh Phillips and Kyle Strange proved to be enough for the Cobblers against an Ilfracombe side who have an excellent record at Marlborough Park this season.

A goal in either half from Jack Taylor was the catalyst behind fourth placed Bridgwater United’s 3-0 victory at Ashton & Backwell United.

Having opened the scoring after 20 minutes with a free-kick, Taylor then completed the scoring with a late header after George King doubled Bridgy's lead towards the end of the first half.

Bitton beat Wellington 3-0 thanks to three second half goals. 

After breaking the deadlock through Ben Withey after 58 minutes, visiting keeper Shay Allen was red carded for fouling Dean Griffiths.

The tangerine's ten-men held out resolutely before a long range effort from Callum Ball and a debut goal from 17-year-old Matty Hughes secured Bitton's home win.

Keynsham ended Millbrook's unbeaten 12-match league run 6-0.

Will Hailston and Dan Cottle proved too hot to handle, scoring during the opening 45 minutes.

Both players struck again early in the second half to double Keynsham's lead, with Cottle then completing his hat-trick in the closing stages prior to Jamie Noble adding a sixth in stoppage time.

Basement side Bridport were also hit for six at Helston, with the red-hot Orlando Anker scoring twice in the first half.

Jackson Penhallurick scored with his first touch to make it 3-0 before Bridport capitulated, with Matt Wright, Josh Storey and Sam Buckley all adding further goals for the hosts in the closing stages.

In the day’s only draw, third placed Mousehole leaned on the ever-reliable Hayden Turner to tuck home a penalty to salvage a 1-1 result away at Clevedon after Cam Salmon had fired the home side ahead.

Dave Barker and Reece Thompson each got on the scoresheet in the final 25 minutes to help Saltash to a hard-fought 3-0 win over Cadbury Heath, who also conceded an own goal.
