Weston Men’s XI 3

Old Bristolians C 1

WESTON fought hard with a brilliant performance against a spirited Old Bristolians side.

The game was even for the majority of the first-half, but Weston looked to have the edge after winning a couple of short corners, but were unable to show the form of recent weeks. Captain Jack Pitt was also unlucky with three chances all hitting the side netting.

In the second half, Weston came out strongly and took the lead with a long ball down the line by Rob Duckett to Pitt, who played a ball through the defence into the path of Rob Huish, who made no mistake.

Weston extended the lead after a fantastic solo run by Cam Slater, taking on two defenders before scoring. Weston scored again after good work again between Slater and Huish, with Huish making it 3-0.

Old Bristolians gave Weston a worry in the dying minutes from a short corner, which was unlucky to go in after a fantastic save by stand-in keeper Nick Bily.

Synter Mercedes Benz man of the match was Nick Bily.

Chard Ladies 0

ON the back of two clean sheet wins, Weston were positive from the off against Chard.

The Chard defence held firm, but it was not long before Lucy Clarke broke free from her marker to score the first of Weston’s goals. The second goal followed quickly with Gibbins’ persistent pressure paying off when she forced an own goal off a defender.

Another goal from Gibbins and a stormer from Bellinger left Weston sitting comfortably at half-time.

The second half got underway with some promising attacking play from Chard, but these efforts were thwarted by the defence of Westgate, Gordon, Mawford and Westcott.

Captain Crandon stepped up with a punishing shot which led to another goal for Weston. Clarke added two more to the tally and Bellinger added one more. Westcott was unlucky not to score when her shot hit the post.

Kingscott’s goal was well placed in the corner and Tuxford rounded off the scoring with a fantastic shot.

Mercedes Benz of Weston player of the match was Taylor Kingscott.
