Sizeable defeats at the hands of champions presumptive Berkshire then Cornwall, have left Devon anchored to the foot of the five-team table.
Last season's Western Division champions face the unpalatable prospect of being as good as relegated if they (7pts) lose to Cheshire (10) who are the team to overtake of in the final two games of the season.
With a 24-point maximum for a win the situation would change quite quickly. Lose and Cheshire will only require a handful of bonus points against Cornwall in their final fixture to send Devon down.
Devon went into the corresponding game in Chester last season in the unusual position of fearing relegation and having the chance of winning the division, which they did.
