Smarty, THANK YOU GUYS.

Since we last spoke we have had 5 games, 3 in
the league and 2 in the Somerset Senior cup.
We welcomed Westlands Sports on a Wednesday night in the cup. Sports are
favourites to win the Dorset County Premier Division, and for the last 30 minutes
we saw why but the 1 hour was ours, Sam Thomas gave us a deserved lead,
st
they equalised on 70 mins. We won on penalties 4-2.
That took us to the Quarter finals vs Middlezoy Rovers, 2 in the Division above
nd
us, looking to get in the Toolstation league next season and their Reserves have
done the double over us! So that didn’t look good! T.J gave us a deserved early
lead following a bit of magic from Mason. We conceded a sloppy goal just before
half time but had definitely been the better side. Rovers upped their game, and
ran out 3-1 deserved winners (Just).
We lost narrowly to Wrington 1-0, but 6 points from Street 2-1, Tomo and
Radders, and Staplegrove 2-0, again Tomo and Radders got the goals, has seen

us move up the table as we target a middle of the table finish.
We have 16 games to play, that’s HALF the season, so a lot of football and a lot
of points to pay for.
Yet NO game for us today, we move on to this Wednesday when we host
promotion chasing Wrington. A lively local derby, 7.30 KO.
Enjoy your game, see you soon.
