FORMER Bideford striker Craig Veal condemned Barnstaple Town to a fourth straight defeat in Evo-Stik League Southern. Sent on as a half-time substitute, his 55th-minute header gave Taunton Town a 1-0 win and lifted them four places to 14th in Division One South and West. He might even have had a hat-trick as Barnstaple turned in a poor second-half display on an icy evening at Mill Road. After three 1-0 defeats in a row – and only one win in nine matches – they remain in the...

Next year, rather than the traditional podium, the winners will be greeted by a giant deckchair, supplied by headline sponsor Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks, on which they can take a well-earned rest. The race, which is on June 25 and in aid of...
