This fell perfectly for me, as I had a back up game on a 3G pitch that was kicking off an hour later. At the moment that looks like my only New Years Eve game, so I was glad this went ahead as planned.

10th hosted 3rd in the league table and there was very little between the two sides. Castle Cary went ahead after just three minutes, with a left footed finish from the edge of the box that gave the ‘keeper no chance and nearly doubled their lead when they saw an effort come back off the crossbar. The visitors levelled with a penalty just before the half hour mark and added a second goal within minutes, beating the offside trap before finishing left footed to make it 1-2 at halftime.

It soon became 1-3. Wrington broke away to score within seconds of the restart, but Castle Cary pulled it back to 2-3 when a cross from the right was touched in at the near post six minutes later. I thought the hosts did enough to get a point overall, but just fell short in the end.
