DIDCOT Town gave a spirited display, but could not stop hosts Tiverton extending their unbeaten start with a 3-1 victory on Saturday.

With Oxford United loanee Jordan Graham unavailable and George Reid absent, Didcot boss Andy Ballard had to make changes for the long Division 1 South & West trip to Devon.

After Ben Whitehead dragged an early chance wide for Didcot, the hosts took the lead just before the half-hour.

Despite what looked like a foul in the build up, Levi Landricombe rounded Leigh Bedwell and slotted home.

Sam Barder and Jack Powell had efforts to level the match after the break, but they were hit from a sucker punch when Landricombe set up Owen Howe who netted from close range.

Then Landricome followed home to make it 3-0.

Didcot were rewarded with a consolation when Barder played in Jack Longford who fired home.
