The first real cold spell of the season devastated the SDFL programme, causing further headaches for the fixtures secretary. Just two league matches survived and those cup matches scheduled will now have to be carried forward to next weekend. UPTON ATHLETIC have already relinquished home advantage against NEWTON ABBOT SPURS RESERVES and their Herald Cup tie will now be played at the Recreation Ground on Friday 10^th, with a 7pm kick-off.

In division two HOOKHILLS UNITED met fellow strugglers TEIGN VILLAGE and picked up three very useful points, despite skipper Julian Snook having to deputise in goal. Craig Downing struck twice for the hosts, Max Prestwood, Jason Burkitt, Matt Brooke and Rob Carr all adding singles. Pat Williamson and Dan Martin scored one apiece for the Villagers. The win lifts Hookhills above Harbertonford on goal difference as they seek to preserve their divisional status.

The only division four match played saw promotion contenders FOXHOLE UNITED travel to LODDISWELL ATHLETIC, with ten man Foxes coming out on top 3-1 and going second in the table. Jamie Tibbo's double and a single from John Bolus gave the visitors a three-nil lead with Adam Sherring striking a late consolation for the hosts. Ilsington Villa remain in top spot but Foxhole have three games in hand with the mouth-watering prospect of facing the leaders twice in the league.
