With a double opportunity on offer, it seemed as good a time as any to make my debut in the Mid-Somerset League. Division 1 is tier two of the league, which on the evidence of this match is not the best of standards. There was plenty of effort, but both teams were lacking in skill.

Evercreech led 1-0 at the break, courtesy of a Kepa style howler that was gifted by the visitors ‘keeper when trying to be too clever with a clearance. A good finish to a pull back from the left made it 2-0 five minutes into the second half and it looked like the three points were safe. High Littleton had done nothing as far as attacking went, but somehow snatched an unlikely point in the dying minutes. Their opener, with two minutes left, looped over the ‘keeper, going in off the underside of the crossbar, before a corner was headed in from six yards to level it up right on ninety minutes.
