Updated 24 April
Both missing results in this morning with Devon Yeoman just edging out Heart of Oak B in a tight 4-3 battle whilst Heavitree Social B beat Clifton Wanderers by the same score.
23 April - It's the penultimate matches for most teams tonight with Allstars Z meeting Allstars C in a clash which could go some way towards settling second place in Division One. Lucombe B will be looking to close in on those two. All still to play for at the bottom.
In Division Two, four matches tonight although Green Gables, Heart of Oak C and Star Inn play their final matches. Allstars S and Jubilee will be trying to pile on the points before their meeting next week.
Results sheets etc. are available to download on this page (scroll down). There is also an updated fixtures list as we have shifted all the Wednesday fixtures along one week.
Older news now also at the bottom of the page.
IMPORTANT: If you are transferring to another team during the season, then please note that there is a Fourteen day clearance period in these cases.

16 April - Div 1 - Groom B could wrap things up this evening although it will depend on what the two Heart of Oak teams do tonight. The bottom two are meeting so there could be a change there.
Div 2 - Jubilee Club will be looking to close on Allstars S as the latter have the Bye tonight whilst Seven Stars will be looking to do the same with Star Inn.
10 April - 7.00am and one of the missing scores is in with Allstars Z getting one point back on the leaders with a 5-2 win over Devon Yeoman.
PM and I am back to see that Allstars Uni have beaten Heavitree Social 6-1 to lift themselves off the bottom.
9 April - Four matches to go and Horse & Groom B looking pretty safe at the top of Div 1. The next three meet amongst each other a few times so that may influence second.
In Division Two, the top four are all close and for each, it will be very much a case case of making the most of when any other of them have a Bye. It could well go down to the final week.
2 April - A bit of a break for the Cup semis and the Plate final tonight.
Allstars Z face Horse & Groom B for the second week running and will be hoping to do better than their league meetings. The other semi and the Plate final are inter-divisional but look like they will both be close matches.
26 March - Match eighteen tonight, with the top two in Division One meeting
for the first of two battles as they have each other in the Cup next week. Third and fourth
will be hoping they can close in a bit.
Division Two and the top pair both have a Bye
so Star Inn will be hoping Seven Stars and Clifton Inn meeting will help them. Bottom two
meet in the St Thomas derby.
19 March - Six matches to go and both leading pairs are comfortably ahead although the Division Two situation may change with the various Byes coming up, especially with leaders Jubilee Club not playing tonight.
12 March - Ship & Pelican have informed us that they have withdrawn from the League due to a lack of players able to attend matches. Tables and fixtures will be adjusted later. They had the Bye tonight so it doesn't affect any other team this week.
8 March -
No result received for the Green Gables v Ship & Pelican match. Match marked as
"unfulfilled" and both teams lose one "Games Won" (Rule 20).
6 March - Final Division One result in and Allstars Z are now 13 points adrift of Groom B whilst Allstars Uni have crept off the bottom, just! Yeoman T up to tenth by virtue of losing by less than the other two. Still awaiting the outstanding Div 2 score.
5 March - Match fifteen and can anyone catch the Division One top two this season? The adjusted Division Two table gives Allstars S a two point buffer over Jubilee Club though Jubilee are visiting third place Star Inn who beat Allstars a few weeks back.
3 March - Division Two news. Whipton and Pinhoe Labour Club have withdrawn from the league. Please insert a Bye into the fixtures in their place. All league results involving them have been removed from the tables (luckily with little effect on the rankings).
26 February - Back to league action this week with match fourteen. Groom B will be looking to hold onto their lead over Allstars Z in Division One whilst in Two, Jubilee Club will need to reverse their result from the first half of the season to maintain their slim lead over Allstars S and Star Inn.
19 February - Cup and Plate action tonight with the last eight of the Cup and the Plate semis. Nearly had the two table leaders meeting in the cup but one slipped off the top last week. Still could be six very tight matches though.
13 February - Final two Div 2 results in with Heart of Oak C winning a very tight match to move themselves up to fifth (on frames). Black Horse have beaten Lucombe A to move themselves above Green Gables down in the lower reaches. Not a good night for playing at home last night, only three wins out of twelve.
12 February - Match thirteen and Groom B will be looking to repeat their score against Groom J with Allstars Z hoping to do the same against Yeoman T in Division One.
5 February - The start of the second half of the season tonight with most of the top six in Div 1 playing lower half opposition (except Groom J v Allstars Z). Div 2 has Allstars S v Seven Stars and Jubilee v Clifton which could shake up their top a bit, especially if the other top-six two win tonight
30 January - All but one of the missing results in now. In Division One, the top seven stayed put whilst Heart of Oak A leapt up three places to eighth. In Division Two, the top two swapped back as did seventh and eighth. The missing result will affect the bottom four only.
29 January - Match 11 of 22 tonight with the top two in Division Two meeting with only one point separating them. The second and third teams clash in Division Two although Allstars Z will remain at least second regardless of the result.
23 January - Final result now in and Ship & Pelican have beaten Black Horse 4-3 to move one place up the table.
22 January - Getting towards the end of January and we finally have some league pool! Division One and Groom B and Allstars Z will be looking to maintain their lead (at least they can keep an eye on each other tonight). Division Two, and the top two will hope to keep theirs too although Allstars S will hope Lucombe A are not too buoyed up after their Plate win last week. The next five are all close enough to pounce.
17 January - As stated on the main News page, we have to announce the
passing of Kev Carver, someone who many of us elder ones played with and against thirty or
so years back, and who was still playing up to a couple of years ago.
It has been
requested that we hold a minute silence before the forthcoming Sunday and Wednesday matches
to remember a player who will be sorely missed. We trust you will all be happy with this.
15 January - Second attempt at the Cup and Plate matches tonight. At least the weather is a lot better.
8 January - First 2025 Wednesday matches tonight with the Team Cup and Plate, assuming we don't get snowed in! Severe weather is a justifiable reason to ask for a postponement although it should hopefully be clearing by this evening (if we get any).
1 January - Happy New Year to you all, hope it's a good one all round.
25 December - Merry Christmas to you all!
19 December - Final result in this morning and Yeoman beat Yeoman T 4-3 in the last game to leave themselves in sixth place.
A couple of weeks off now for the festivities, hope you all have a nice time, I shall enjoy the rest!
18 December - The final matches of 2024 tonight, with the top two in Division One playing the bottom two whilst the Division Two leaders have a possible harder match ahead than the second place team.
Lucombe Oak A have become the second recipient of a deduction of one Game Won for
non-submission of a result sheet for last week's match. Division Two table
adjusted.
12 December - Last two Div 2 results in and the win for Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club over Lucombe A leaves the middle six unchanged, whilst Heavitree Social A have climbed off the bottom with their win over Black Horse, who they are now close behind.
11 December - The penultimate match of 2024 (and only a fortnight to Christmas!) with Groom B looking to maintain their lead over Allstars Z whilst the top four in Div 2 will want to pull away from each other a bit.
10 December -
Black Horse become the first recipient of a deduction of one Game Won for
non-submission of a result sheet for last week's match. Division Two table
adjusted.
6 December - Claim received for Allstars Uni v Groom J match. Groom J awarded 4-0/8-0.
5 December - Ship & Pelican have beaten Allstars S 4-3 in a tight match which has left Allstars just one point clear at the top, with Clifton Inn, Jubilee Club and Ship & Pelican all one point off of each other. Clifton Inn would be top if we were using the old points system with six wins. Still awaiting the two Division One results.
Clifton Inn Wanderers have beaten Devon Yeoman T to raise themselves off the bottom of Division One.
4 December - Match seven with the top two clashing in Division One tonight whilst it's 1st v 4th, 2nd v 5th and 3rd v 6th in the other division.
28 November - Final result in with Devon Yeoman beating Allstars C 4-3. This has resulted in no changes to the table, apart from the fact that Horse & Groom J have identical stats with Devon Yeoman so have technically climbed one place to 7th equal. With eight out of twelve matches finishing 4-3 last night it is not surprising that neither table changed much.
For anyone interested, if you haven't already found it, there is now a set of tables online calculated using the old system. This was started in weeks three and four when the tables were substantially different. Now the table rankings are almost the same with the new system showing, in Division Two, the advantage of a few high scoring wins.
27 November - Match six tonight and the top Division One teams will be looking to maintain their run. The top two clash in Division Two which could help the third placed side. The bottom three in both divisions may have a tough time this evening.
21 November - Final result is in and Clifton Inn are up to second in Division Two with Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club tightly behind them. Ship & Pelican back down to fourth.
Sorry for the delay updating today, have been working and it was a bit fun driving about delivering!
20 November - Match five and only five matches to Christmas! Second play third in both divisions tonight with both top teams likely to continue their form. Both bottom clubs will be hoping for their first win of the season.
14 November - Draws for Team Cup second round and Team Plate first round now on the fixtures and competitions pages.
13 November - A break tonight for the first round of the Cup with two all first division clashes, one all division two and five inter-division. Could well be a few lower division teams going through.
6 November - Week four and tight in both divisions. Can anyone pull away before the Cup break next week?
Still awaiting a reply from one team about the incorrectly marked score from last week. We will go with the amended score (6-1/13-6 as opposed to 5-2/12-7) if we do not hear back by the start of play tonight. This will lift Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club up to a very close second by virtue of legs scored.
30 October - Week three and can anyone catch the Division One leading pair?
Division Two is a lot tighter although with the top three variously taking on the bottom three tonight, anything can happen there. In both divisions plenty of other teams are close enough that a good win could leap them up the table.
28 October - The draw for the first round of the Team Cup has been made and is listed on the fixtures and competitions pages.
24 October - Final result is in and the tables updated.
Division 1 still has the same leader with risers in the next two places and the bottom two staying put. Division 2 has had a swap around at the top and the bottom with only two teams staying put this week.
23 October - Week two, who will maintain their momentum from last week?
17 October - Final Div 2 result is in and table updated.
16 October - The new season is finally here! Have a good one.
7 October - We have now eliminated the Bye in Division Two with the addition of the Green Gables team. The (updated) fixture key now downloads properly as well!
27 September - Fixtures have been beaten into submission and are now online. You should receive an emailed copy soon.
From the AGM, for both Sunday and Wednesday league tables, there will now be one point per game won with the match winners getting an additional two points i.e. a 5-2 win will mean 7 points for the victors and 2 points to the losers. Match format will remain as before. (For those with long memories, this method of determining the table was last used up to Summer 2000).
26 September - The divisions have been confirmed as listed below. This was a three up/three down from last season. Hopefully we will return to two up/two down this season.
Matches will commence on Wednesday 16th October, full fixtures to follow asap.
21 August - Following the registration, we have the following teams for this season (split into probable divisions but subject to confirmation).
Allstars C, Allstars Exeter University, Allstars Z, Clifton Inn Wanderers, Devon Yeoman, Devon Yeoman T, Heart of Oak A, Heart of Oak B, Heavitree Social Club B, Horse & Groom B, Horse & Groom J, Lucombe Oak B. (Clifton Inn Wanderers are the Wandering Stars from last season).
Allstars S, Black Horse, Clifton Inn, Heart of Oak C, Heavitree Social Club A, Jubilee Social Club, Lucombe Oak A, Seven Stars (Kennford), Ship & Pelican, Star Inn, Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club.
15 August - Just to confirm that all three meetings below will be held at the Horse & Groom. Forms will be emailed out/available to download by tomorrow evening.
14 August - At the moment, we have the Pre-AGM pencilled in for Wednesday 11th September, the Presentation Night followed by League Registration will be held on Wednesday 18th September with the AGM on Wednesday 25th September. Subject to confirmation, all three events will be at the Horse & Groom, starting at 7.00pm.
The Registration forms will be available later this week and will be sent out to all team contacts on our lists and anyone who has asked for one.
Wednesday matches will commence on either the 9th or 16th of October, depending on numbers. Hopefully we should have at least 24 teams again this winter, possibly more, although several teams may be operating in a different location from last year. We shall know more after September 18th.
