Weston Town Under-13s gained promotion after defeating Axbridge.

WESTON Town Under-13s travelled to Axbridge knowing that a victory would guarantee them promotion into Division 1.

Weston were at full strength and set about Axbridge right from the first whistle and it didn’t take long for Town to take the lead when Heal’s cross was netted by Bambury.

The defence marshalled by Manaton, Swires, Murphy and Sharp were rarely troubled in a dominant first-half, thanks to the midfield shield of Pritchet and Kelly working tirelessly.

Thomas and Large got wide early allowing space for the front men and Town doubled their lead when Manaton headed home Heal’s corner.

Much like the first-half, Weston started the second period on top and Pritchet harried an Axbridge defender. Thomas passed back to Large from the touchline who crossed for Maidment to score.

Snell in goal was rarely troubled as Town scored again as a neat lay-off from Manaton saw Pritchet score into the far corner.

Man of the match went to Sharp for a no nonsense defending display.

UPHILL Castle Under-16s started brilliantly as they entertained Yatton in this encounter.

McKenna opened the scoring as he pounced on a rebound as the keeper failed to hold Bromley’s shot. McKenna then flicked on a header for Bromley to score and Elliman’s shot was spilled by the keeper for Bromley to make it 3-0.

Tom Starr played a sublime first-time pass to Elliman who finished it off, before Starr grabbed his first goal of the season with a lovely finish. Bromley completed his hat-trick and made it 6-0 with a lovely finish.

Uphill switched off just before the break as Yatton, who never dropped their heads, slotted one home, giving Hathway no chance.

After the break, Nathan Sharpe’s corner saw Ed Deane nod home the seventh. Referee Mark Smith then abandoned the game six mins into the second half due to heavy rain.

THE next generation of the Trego family announced his arrival onto the local sporting scene.

Dexter Trego scored eight goals playing for Milton Nomads Under-8s in a mini tournament at Churchill Sports Centre.

Dexter, who is the son of Pete Trego, was playing as a striker and in one game scored a hat-trick, much to the delight of his dad.

“I love going along to watch Dexter play and I feel proud of what he has achieved so far in his football,” said Pete.
