This was a Step 5 versus Step 6 clash as Wessex League Premier Division (not Wessex Premier League as stated on the club Twitter! It always amazes me how many clubs don’t actually know the name of the league they play in!) hosted Western League Division 1. Again, a standard cage set up with three quarters of one side available for spectator viewing. The changing rooms are at the cricket pavilion, which is a good 350-400 yards away.

Bournemouth went ahead midway through the first half, when a back pass was miss controlled by the ‘keeper, resulting in the ball being rolled into an empty net. Wincanton levelled nine minutes later, with a brilliantly curled shot from 20 yards finding the top corner. It took Bournemouth a matter of seconds into the second half to regain the lead, when a long ball over the top saw the ball poked past the ‘keeper and seven minutes later they made it 3-1, when the ball was cut in from the left hand side and finished unmarked from ten yards.
