Despite some poor play, Sidmouth did manage to put some good moves together, which put the Chard defence under pressure, but the opposition goalkeeper was rarely troubled, with a solid defensive line-up operating in front of him.
The side goes into the Christmas break with a reasonable record, with 10 points earned in the first part of the season.
Sidmouth can also be proud of the younger players who have claimed regular places in the line-up, who have all shown some good potential with their skills, which can only be a good thing for the club’s future.
