Dawlish News

MARK Hodkinson has backed Dawlish Town to set the Premier Division alight next season after his side were hammered by the Division One leaders in south Devon. The Bradford boss was in awe of the passing and movement of the Dawlish players on a boggy surface saturated by rain at Sandy Lane. He said: "Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say we were beaten by the better team. Some of their movement was superb. I'm just glad we don't have to play them again this season. "If it had been earlier in the season I think the game would have been called off. Having said that, Dawlish were still popping passes all over the waterlogged pitch." Bradford had a 14 day break before Saturday's game and Hodkinson believes the rest would have been beneficial to prepare for any side other than Dawlish.
