Having lost my intended match for today, which has been rescheduled to tomorrow night, I decided on this match, as it involved only going slightly off route when heading back home and it also had something on it, with Chilcompton Sports looking to retain their title.

Coming into this they were in third place in the league table, five points adrift of leaders Nailsea & Tickenham, but with three games in hand. Worle are seventh and had nothing to play for, which was certainly reflected in how they approached the game.

It was all over after sixteen minutes, by which time it was already 4-0. Worle did pull one back, but by the 25th minute mark it was 5-1, with the game becoming very pedestrian from here onwards. Worle somehow managed to make it 5-2 in the last ten minutes, but Chilcompton rounded off the day’s scoring when they added their sixth goal in stoppage time.

It is still all to play for as far as the title goes. Nailsea & Tickenham have 62 points (2 games left) goal difference +33, with Fry Club on 61 points (1 game left) goal difference +43 in second place. Chilcompton are now on 60 points (4 games left) goal difference +43. The title could well be decided when Nailsea & Tickenham host Chilcompton Sports next Tuesday.
