Pat Twitchin doubled the lead on 21 minute, turning home Stuckey's headed pass.

Riviera Spurs 1 - Kingsteignton Ath 3

Kingsteignton dominated the early play against a battling Riviera Spurs team with only 10 players; the breakthrough came midway through the first half after a Will Irwin pass released Rik Reynolds to run clear and finish neatly across the goal keeper into the far corner 0-1. Towards the end of the half Riviera started to show their fighting spirit and began to have the lions share of possession, after the referee awarded a dubious free kick just outside the penalty area, they duly fired the ball into the top corner left hand to leave the score 1-1 at halftime.

With their ears still ringing after Rob Laws rallying half time team talk, Kingsteignton again started the stronger with a blistering 5 minute spell where the Kingsteignton scored twice. The first was a solid strike from Ian Cornock who had beaten the offside trap to run on and beat the goal keeper at his near post 1-2, Kings third goal again came from Rik Reynolds who neatly finished of a move involving Luke Bates and Ian Cornock who unselfishly squared the ball across the box for Rik 1-3. Again further good play from Kingsteignton in the Riviera box resulted in Ian Cornock being upended resulting in a penalty, Rik Reynolds stepped up confidently to complete his hatrick only to pull his spot kick wide of the mark. Kingsteignton then relaxed and almost let Riviera back into the game, but with the introduction of the 3 substitutes and resolute defending the team repelling the Riviera attacks to see out the final whistle, thoroughly deserving their first league victory of the season.
