I can’t remember an early May Bank Holiday where I have struggled so much to find an unvisited ground. In the end, I plumped for the nearest one, which was the only ground I needed today apart from lower level matches in Devon or Yorkshire.

As it turned out, at least there was something on the game, as Hutton are fighting it out with Cheddar Reserves for second place in the league and with it promotion to Division 2. Somerton certainly made them work hard for it and it was only a deflection when attempting to block a cross that beat the ‘keeper at his near post to give Hutton a 1-0 lead at the break. It was 1-1 early into the second half and as time was running out it looked like Hutton had grabbed the 3 points when they went in front with eleven minutes left. It looked like their effort had been for nothing though, as they conceded an equaliser a minute into stoppage time, but as we entered the fifth minute of added time, Hutton were awarded a penalty, for handball, which was coolly slotted into the bottom corner of the net for the winning goal.

With one game each left to play, Cheddar Reserves lead Hutton by three points, but Hutton have a far superior goal difference.
