SOHC ladies 1st XI were involved in an 'in-house' derby against the SOHC ladies 2nd XI who, despite battling bravely throughout, were no match for their club colleagues in a Sedgemoor Division One fixture contested at Sidmouth.

As a result, three games into the new league campaign, they are level on points with Exe 3 and ECVH, but have a goal difference of 30 and are yet to concede a goal.

The men's first team achieved a 3-3 result away at Shepton Mallet and currently sit third behind North Somerset and Yeovil and Sherborne.

Three goals from Nick Mansfield in the last 10 minutes ensured a point for the travelling team.

The fourths lost 4-2 to Taw Valley 2.

On the men's side of the club, the 2nd team lost 3-1 at home to West Dorset , with the SOHC goal scored by Ade Brooker.

The fourths won their first points of the season, winning 2-1 at home to Yeovil and Sherborne.

Goals from Andy Coley and Steve Ellison paved the way for the win, although the visitors did claim a late consolation goal.
