ONLY GOAL: Jack Furzer's strike gave Bideford a 1-0 win at Frome Town.
It was just reward for the visitors who should have put the result beyond doubt before half time but wasted several chances.
Sean Downing hit the post in the first minute and then headed wide, while Rob Farkins and Kevin Squire also went close.

Downing was denied by Chitty after a fine run and, when the winger was brought down, Matt Hockley's penalty was brilliantly saved.
Frome were far more competitive in the second half and Bideford goalkeeper Paul Hider was called upon to make two saves. The hosts also scrambled a shot against the bar.
After Furzer fired the goal, Bideford defended superbly in the slippery conditions with Farkins again outstanding in their back three.
The win lifted Bideford up two places to 16th in the premier division. They are next in action on New Year's Day, at home against Weymouth (3pm).
