The Western Counties (N) league table shows that Sidmouth have work to do to avoid the drop.

With 11 matches to play the Chiefs find themselves just eight points off bottom side Penryn who still have to visit the Blackmore in April.

Three of their next four games are at home. This Saturday they host Truro and the week after Tiverton are the visitors. They then go to Saltash (February 13) before a home meeting with St Austell.

That’s followed by three straight away games at Kingsbridge, Wadebridge and Okehampton before a home game with Crediton on April 2.

They then travel to Torquay before hosting Penryn and they bring the curtain down on their season at University on April 23.
