Weston St Johns Res 7

Hutton 1

SAINTS started this Division 1 clash full of confidence after winning the double last season.

They soon took the lead when Andy Young’s free kick was headed home by Joe Whittaker. Soon after, Troy Hayes doubled the lead. Young scored the goal of the game to make it 3-0 and then Hayes netted his second of the game. Hutton got on the score sheet just before half-time.

After the break, debutant Ryan Evans was brought down for a penalty which was missed by Dan Hartley, but netted the rebound for his first of the season. Hayes completed his hat-trick before Ryan Hodrien chipped in the seventh to complete the scoring.

Mike Whttakers Building Contractors man of the match was shared between Troy Hayes and Andy Young.

Worle Res 3

Sporting Weston 3

WITH a much-changed side, Worle were unfortunate to come up against one of the stronger sides in Division 4.

Sporting started well and took the lead through Matt Bazell, who doubled their lead soon after. Worle steadily improved reduced the deficit just before half-time when Jack Hodrien netted after help from his brother Mike.

It was an even game in the second half, but an own goal from Tucker increased the visitors lead. Worle hit back with Hodrien and Pierson up front, supported by Mike and John Parker in midfield.

Andre got a goal back with a smart finish and Worle drew level when Parker crossed for Jack Hodrien to score his second.

Man of the match for Worle was John Coleman. Match ball sponsor was Avenue Cleaners.

Shipham Res 1

Priory Rangers 2

SHIPHAM opened their league campaign with a narrow defeat to Division 6 newcomers Priory Rangers.

The first half was a relatively tight affair, Shipham created the better chances, but Priory took the lead with a long-range shot. The game held up for over an hour by a serious leg injury to Priory player Tom Burrows.

The second half finally got underway and Shipham equalised when a long through ball from keeper Sam Hughes was controlled by Seb Winter, who beat a couple of players before netting.

The match appeared to be heading towards a draw, but Priory scored in the last few seconds. Shipham man of the match went to Seb Winter.
