Buckland hit five against Parkway
Buckland Athletic began their final three Carlsberg South West Peninsula League games with a 5-3 victory over Plymouth Parkway that was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests.
The Bucks, who will play in the Toolstation Western League next season, were thankful to the back-room boys at Homers Heath who worked tirelessly to shift an estimated 1,600 litres of rain water from the pitch to allow the game to go ahead.

Chris Wright set up Danny Lewis to give the home side a 26th-minute lead before Gavin Hammon's cool finish made it 2-0 at the break. Former Parkway striker Wright added a third before Parkway hit back with goals from Paul Heveran and Lee Doel to narrow the deficit to one goal.
It was slightly against the run of play that Dean Stevens' fiercely hit free-kick was partially blocked for Liam Moseley to make it 4-2 before Hammon notched his second.
