GRECIANS TAKE FIRST DERBY HONOURS

In the first Devon-Somerset league meeting of the season, Exeter City came out on top as they defeated Yeovil Town 3-1 at Huish Park. A brace from Richard Logan and another from Ryan Harley ensured that the Grecians came out on top as both sides said a final farewell to the late Adam Stansfield. Sam Williams scored the Glovers consolation goal.

Plymouth Argyle recovered from their 2-0 midweek defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion to draw 1-1 with Rochdale at Spotland. Bradley Wright-Phillips put the Pilgrims in front with a first half strike before Dale, who are managed by former Argyle defender Keith Hill, equalised in the second half through Craig Dawson.

Meanwhile in League Two, Torquay United slipped to a surprise 3-1 defeat at home to Macclesfield Town. Hamza Bencherif gave the Silkmen the lead in the 12th minute before Elliot Benyon turned in a cross from Eunan O'Kane on 40 minutes. However, Ross Draper and Emile Sinclair struck in the 76th and 78th minutes respectively to wrap up the points for Macclesfield.
