Jewson Western League, Premier Division: Bridgwater United 0-1 Street Bridgwater United ended their home campaign in defeat as they welcomed fellow Somerset side Street to Fairfax Park on Good Friday (April 18). With one game left on Monday (April 21) against Oldland Abbotonians, the Robins are now consigned to finish in 17th place in the Western League Premier Division. United made a single change to the line-up that defeated Paulton Rovers the previous weekend with Preston Hopwood replacing Shomari Sengor.
The visitors made the faster start and despite appeal for a penalty for Bridgwater when Brad Pfupa went down in the box, it was the visitors who took the lead on 12 minutes as Harry Foster scored from a Philip Ormrod cross. The home side had another penalty appeal waved away by the referee on 15 minutes and on 34 minutes a speculative effort from Michael Duffy was saved by the Street goalkeeper. With a minute to go until half time, Bridgwater United were reduced to 10 men as Morgan Williams is shown a straight red card.
The score was 0-1 at half time. Four minutes into the second half and Duffy nearly levels the scores with a cross which was deflected off a defender but goes narrowly wide. Five minutes later, Liam Kingston produced a good save to deny Foster a second goal for Street.
With 14 minutes to go, Hayden Chambers, who had come on as a substitute, sent a header wide of the goal. Less than 60 seconds later it was Mark Armstrong’s turn to head wide from a corner. The sides were evened up at 10-aside as Jake Horsey was sent off for a second yellow card with eight minutes to go.
On 87 minutes, substitute Chris Barrett sent in a cross to Chambers, but he put his shot wide of the target. The match finished 1-0 to Street. Bridgwater United: Kingston, Pfupa (Willis, 81), Armstrong, Llewellyn, Williams, Brown, Taylor, Duffy (Barrett 77), Horton, Ireland (Chambers, 70), Hopwood.
Unused subs: Sengor, Townsend..
