Cornwall, Plymouth, the South Hams and Torbay see a more than 50% drop.

Were much the better side for the rest of the first half and missed enough chances to be out of sight Salford bounced back well and perhaps just about did enough with the second half performance to deserve a point. Bowman, Jay, and Randall were excellent going forward, although the final cutting edge of taking the chances they created was, as has been through pre-season, lacking
