Chilcompton arrived here knowing a win would see them crowned champions for the second successive season, pipping the leaders Nailsea & Tickenham, who had already completed their fixtures, by a point. Back on Easter Monday I saw the reverse fixture of today, which Chilcompton won 6-2 without needing to get out of first gear. That day they were 4-0 up after 16 minutes and they had made it 5-1 before we had half an hour on the clock. Today, Worle made an even more pathetic attempt in putting in any type of performance, conceding five goals in the opening 21 minutes, in a woeful display. Their lack of effort really wasn’t fair on Nailsea & Tickenham, but unfortunately these things happen from time to time.

As a neutral, it was a really poor game to watch. With it being 0-5 so early on, it was job done for Chilcompton. The rest of the match was absolute rubbish, with the visitors deciding to add a couple more goals in the last twelve minutes to finish things off. What a shame that a match where the title was at stake turned into such a poor afternoons entertainment. It really doesn’t say too much about the standard of the league when Worle managed to finish in seventh place!
