A win and a draw in the space of four days have kept Sidfbury United on course for second place in the Fresha League Premier Division.

What’s more, given that this time last year the Byes Lane were side a Division One outfit this term represents a success, whatever position the team finish in.

Not too many teams have come away from table-topping Tiverton Town with points this season – but United did on Saturday.

After going behind to a soft goal – keeper Jamie Harvey at fault – Sidford equalised through a long-range volley from Conor Hannaford.

“It was a contender for goal of the season – and it was the only sort of way we looked like beating their keeper,” said Byes Lane boss Jeremy Schofield.

Tuesday night brought a trip to Seaton Town, who were unbeaten in four games going into the match. United won 2-1, but only after going behind.

Kees Willis equalised on 40 minutes, putting away a James Davies cross.

Davies hit the winning goal midway through the second half.

The only downside for United was having Willis sent off in the second half for kicking the ball away.

United travel to Chard Town Reserves this Saturday, who are going nowhere in mid table.

The big game is next Wednesday night when United entertain Feniton, the team they have to catch to take second spot.
