Superb movement off the ball combined with strength on the ball from Sadie Sjogren opened up the Winscombe defence and a deserved goal eventually came from a rebound pounced on by Rachel Aldington, leaving Weston trailing by just one at the interval.
The second half continued with Weston controlling the game and some fine strikes from vice-captain Jade Brown, forcing some good saves from the Winscombe keeper.
However, a controversial decision saw the Weston’s defence caught out and Winscombe scored their third goal of the match.
