Good question, what's everyone's favourite? Of the ones that I've seen, I really like the one by the church. Not seen them all yet though... :-)

Dawlish Town climbed to the top of the Toolstation Premier League after a 3-1 Sandy Lane win over Ilfracombe Town. Teenage striker Joe Bushin, signed from Liverton United last season, bagged a brace which took his tally to six for the season. Antony Lynch put Town one up and, even after the Bluebirds levelled, it was the home side who continued to ask all the questions and it was no surprise ...

Bank Holiday
26 Aug 2008

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Bank Holiday as much as I did. A fabulous but hectic afternoon and evening on Saturday was followed by a more relaxing Sunday. We were unable to have a picnic, so we opted for a lovely lunch at a riverside country inn followed by a brisk walk along the river bank.
