Beer Albion maintained their position in the top four of the Devon Football league when they completed the double over Plymstock United 1st’s on Saturday with a resounding 8-3 win, writes Richard Honnor. 

In truth, Beer were so much the better side on the day that the 8-3 scoreline somewhat flattered the Stockies who had no answer to the Fishermen’s twin strike force of Josh French and Aaron Daniels.

The hold-up-play and incisive passing of man-of-the-match French was superb throughout, not to mention his striking capabilities earning him two fine goals. Daniels was also in fine form and his power, pace and work rate resulted in a well-deserved hat-trick for Beer forward.

The other goals for Beer were scored by Charley Skilton, Charlie Ledger and substitute Alfie Matthews, who made his mark with a delightful curling shot into the corner. The Fishermen are at home to Plymouth Marjon this weekend.
