Torbaygo are tormented by hat-trick hero Elms

DIVISION Two contained the only surprises in the Torbay Sunday League at the weekend, with the top two sides dropping points for the first time this season.

In fact, Trinidad and Torbaygo surrendered all three after a 10-0 hiding away to Kingsteignton Athletic 3rds, while leaders The Dolphin Inn were held to a 2-2 draw by Torbay Wanderers.

Striker Jake Elms was tormentor-in-chief for Kingsteignton, opening the scoring at Broadpark before completing his hat-trick with further strikes in the 30th and 71st minutes.

It was 4-0 at half-time, the other goals coming from Mike Turner (36 and 58 minutes), Justin Lashley (41 and 56), Ollie Booth (78), Aaron Cowell (79) and Lee Pascoe, who marked his debut with Kingsteignton's seventh 18 minutes after the break.

Staddiscombe Colts 2 Kingsteignton Res 1

Staddiscombe Colts A beat Kingsteignton 2-1.

Staddy, against the run of play, conceded a goal and did not get their equaliser until just before half-time.

It took a 25-yard strike by Gavin West to level the match.

Staddy found the net once more when Craig Roberts jinked past two defenders before smashing into the top corner.

Fifth straight defeat for Rams

Kingsteignton Thirds taste defeat for 1st Time this Season.

Dolphin Inn 4 - Kingsteignton Ath 3rds 2

The Dolphin Inn were grateful for the points after beating Kingsteignton Athletic 3rds 4-2 at Torquay's King George V Playing Fields.

Kingsteignton were keen for the game to be abandoned at one stage after referee Phil Davey was unable to carry on having suffered ligament trouble at the back of a leg. In the end, Dolphin manager Ken Thompson took the whistle with his side 3-0 to the good, only for Kingsteignton to pull it back to 3-2 with strikes from Jake Elms (in the 64th minute) and new signing Kevin Orrell five minutes later.

Dolphin held on, however, stretching their lead to 4-2 with a final goal from Louis Bergin. Earlier, Bergin, Shane Shobbrook and Kevin Bailey, with a long range screamer, had scored to provide Dolphin with a 3-0 lead.
