3-1 WAS the common scoreline in the Devon Football League this weekend, with three of the fixtures ending this way.

Bere Alston United hosted Beer Albion and secured just a third win of the campaign, moving their points tally into double figures. They remain second from bottom but this victory takes them within touching distance of North Molton Sports Club and Plymstock United.

Ipplepen Athletic, the team below Bere Alston, visited Budleigh Salterton and were on the wrong end of this popular score, falling to a 15th defeat of the season.

Longcross was the location for the third 3-1 and it was hosts Dartmouth AFC who came out on top, Stuart Bowker scoring a penalty alongside an own goal and a Coby White strike after a goalless first half.

Dartmouth are up to third as a result whilst Plymstock, the side they beat, remain in the lower reaches in 13th place.
