Champions go three points clear

Football

South West Peninsula League champions Bodmin Town have gone three points clear at the top of the table.

Town took advantage of second-placed Buckland's postponed game at Saltash United and third-placed Plymouth Parkway's 1-0 loss at Clyst Rovers.

Bodmin's 1-0 win at Newton Abbot Spurs came thanks to Karl Turner's 75th-minute strike.

And their title hopes were helped further with fourth-placed Ivybridge Town's 1-1 draw at lowly Holsworthy.

Dartmouth moved up to sixth place in the table after beating Wadebridge Town 3-0 at Longcross after Gareth Davis, Simon Lewcock and Chris Hooper hit the back of the net.

Second-from-bottom Liskeard Athletic are now five points adrift of third-bottom Holsworthy after going down 4-0 at home to fifth-placed Tavistock.

Fifth-from-bottom Falmouth Town are still very much in the mix for relegation following their 3-1 loss at Torpoint, for whom Adam Carter scored two.

And Cullompton Rangers are now five points clear of Falmouth after they beat Witheridge 3-1 at Edge Down Park. Mat Dawson scored two for Rangers as they drew level on points with their opponents.

Launceston won their mid-table Cornish derby with St Blazey 3-0 at Pennygillam as Sam Davey hit a brace.
