  MARK ELLIS hit the nail on the head two days before kick-off. "Massive," he said. "Massive in September. That's a weird thing to say, isn't it? Massive in September." It was not even the end of September.Or the middle. Ellis was speaking on the first day of the month. The season had kicked off only 12 days earlier and already the picture was clear. Both Barnstaple AAC and Combe Martin were in a battle to stay in...
