Previewing this weekend’s football across Devon 18/10, including the FA Vase

Preview of Weekend Football in Devon

This weekend's football in Devon is set to be exciting, with a focus on the FA Vase.

Buckland Athletic is looking to complete a memorable seven days, following their recent wins. Last weekend, they defeated Western League leaders Clevedon Town with a late strike from Ben Carter. On Wednesday night, they beat Saltash United 3-0, with Ryan Bush scoring twice and Sean Thomson adding another goal.

The victory over Saltash United, who currently sit fourth, has moved Buckland Athletic within two points of the playoff positions. This weekend, they will face Bishops Lydeard in the FA Vase, a team that has struggled in the SW Peninsula League with only one point from 12 games.

We'll go there and treat them with the full respect that they deserve, they're in this round for a reason.

Despite Bishops Lydeard's struggles, Buckland Athletic's manager Matt Cusack has warned against complacency, and the team will likely approach the game with caution.

Author's summary: Buckland Athletic seeks FA Vase win.
