PORTERS B went into their final match of the Plymouth City Super League with an unblemished record after 39 matches and it would have been a travesty of justice if they hadn’t completed the campaign undefeated, but Octagon Social Club made them fight every inch of the way in an end-of-season thriller. Octagon led twice after the first three disciplines, only for the hosts to win four on the bounce and lead 5-2. Octagon started their revival when Tony Lamerton defeated Phil St
