Somerset County League Premier Division
Wrington 0, Ilminster Town 0

ILMINSTER Town travelled to Wrington & Redhill down the busy M5 motorway and arrived 30 mins before kick off due to heavy traffic.

The home side were out of the blocks quickly and wouldn’t allow the Blues a foothold in the game, and it was Wrington who had the first chance and Chris May pulled off a stunning save.

The home side continued to press and missed a one on one chance with the home striker putting his shot wide.

For Ilminster the best chance of the first half fell to Jake Woodard, whose free header went wide of the target, while Lee Sweet also shot wide after a strong run.

A change of formation by the Blues at half-time saw a couple of chances created through Lee Sweet and the fit-again Taylor Jefferson, who came off the bench, and both players had shots that went just wide.

With 20 minutes to play, the home side had a chance to score from the spot after uncertainty by Luke Paul ended with May bringing down a home player inside the box, but the goalkeeper made up for his mistake by saving the resulting penalty.

The game petered out to a draw, which the Blues were happy with on a day in which they couldn’t quite get going - this Saturday, they host Stockwood Wanderers.
