The soccer score of 7-0 to Bideford was flattering, the game being closer than the margin suggests.
Bideford County Secondary School football team: Michael Eastman, Kenneth Hocking, Dennis Pengelly, David Hare, Paul Ashby-Crane, John Lockyer, Keith Sowden, Christopher Sowden, Brian Fishleigh, Kevin Naylor, Tony Beer.
Torrington – Christopher Jeffery, Rodney Nancekevell, Jeffery Rookes, Christopher Copp, Melvin Lee, Desmond Nancekevell, John Bryant, Lesley Hutchings, Arthur Jones, Gordon Glover, Melvin Wheeler.
