Sidmouth Chiefs, the latest taable.

The ninth defeat of Sidmouth Chief’s season leaves them sat eighth in the South West One (W) table with 28 points.

They sit 14 point shy of third placed Camborne at the half-way stage of the campaign.

Perhaps of greater concern is that the Chiefs sit just eight points off the bottom two.

They host fourth placed Cullompton on Saturday.

Latest table following the December 8 matches.
