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.
