South Molton lose to league leaders Exeter University
SOUTH Molton's hopes of promotion were hit on Saturday as they suffered a home defeat to league leaders Exeter University.
It was only their second defeat in Devon One this season, but one that now leaves them seven points off the top of the table.

The Students took the lead early on through an Oli Ramage try but, having reduced the deficit with a Matt Monaghan penalty, South Molton thought they had taken the lead when Dan Smith powered his way over the line.
However, the referee adjudged that he was held up just short of the try line and when Ramage and Bertie Haskins added further scores, for the University, the Students had a comfortable half-time lead.
