Peasedown Miners Welfare 2 Wrington Redhill 2
This penultimate game of the season was one that Wrington Redhill had to win if their dream of promotion was to stay alive. Things started well enough as they probed and prodded away at the Peasedown defence and generally controlled the game. The opener came when a ball over the top from skipper Harding James left Luke Weeks in a race for the ball with advancing home keeper Chris Allard. Weeks got there first to lift the ball over Allard and celebrate as it bounced into an empty net. Peasedown looked lively enough up front with Lewis Wheeler and Sam Clay proving to be a handful and Clay probably should have scored when he got the better of Skuse but his effort brought out one of a series of fine saves from Rob Hannah in goal for the visitors. Wrington Redhill went 2 up when a move right from the back involving Holmes, Cam Milkins, and Hutchings gave Weeks the opportunity to to shoot. His right foot shot was tipped over by Allard and from the resulting corner giant centre half Harding-James headed in at the far post. What was looking like a straightforward win became anything but soon after as Peasedown began to push forward. The visitors back line which has been, on many occasions, selenite firm looked uncharacteristically shaky at times. An ill-advised challenge from Skuse on Clay led to a penalty which Nathan Maggs dispatched for make it 1-2 at half time
