Banwell Res 2

Shipham 2

SHIPHAM got a well-earned point against Banwell in blustery conditions on a pitch that wasn’t in the best condition.

The game was evenly matched, with both teams creating chances. Hobden hit the bar with a cracking shot, with Stacey slipping at the crucial moment when trying to put the rebound in the empty net.

Jamie White hit the bar from distance for Banwell, but Shipham were battling hard playing against the wind. Banwell took the lead through a defensive mix-up and the score was 1-0 at half-time.

Shipham started the second half with a bit more influence, but failed to make the breakthrough. Banwell extended their lead with 20 minutes to go.

With 12 minutes remaining, Shipham got a goal back when Matt Burland ran the ball out from centre back and hit a shot from long range, it took a wicked deflection and looped over the keeper.

With three minutes to go, Shipham got a corner, Burland flicked it on and Stu Newson nodded home to equalise.

Man of the match went to Matt Burland for a great defensive performance.

Worle Rangers 2

Locking Park 4

A CLOSE encounter at Drove Road drew to a close with Locking Park taking the points.

Worle Rangers went in front with a tidy finish, but Locking quickly replied with Craig Baird converting a penalty. The remainder of the half saw Rob Long and Russell Carter making robust challenges to ensure the Locking defences were not breached, helped out by Jason Cain, Daniel Windsor and Paul Adams.

Worle went ahead with a fine finish, but two set pieces were their downfall as two quality crosses from Ryan Harris were unluckily headed into his own net by a defender.

The final nail in the coffin arrived from Aidan Dancer, his goal allowed Locking Park to take all three points from this tightly contested game.
