Inglis manages four in victory

The Bath & District Sunday League didn’t disappoint this weekend, with 11 fixtures over the three divisions and some shock scorelines, there were many talking points.

A brace for Banks and four from Nico Inglis ruled out Willott’s single goal for hosts Heritage to see PF Loco take a convincing three points with a 6-1 win.

Kingsmead welcomed Batheaston and five different scorers gave them the win in this eight-goal showdown. Parsons, Chandler, Saunders, Conradi and Wych all came good for the home side to win 5-3 and build on last week’s good work.

Odd Down ended the run that BAS have been on by beating them 4-1 at the Lew Hill memorial Ground with strikes from Spurrey (2) at his new club, Ty Mulholland and George Butler. The battle of the Bidgood brothers this year saw Maslen score for Mason’s Radstock Albion but Adam’s Bath United matched it with a strike from Sutor to share the points.

Division Two didn’t fail to entertain either, Odd Down Reserves travelled to Lansdown but Lansdown couldn’t capitalise on home advantage as the Down took a 3-1 win back home courtesy of goals from Whittock, Clark and Presley.

All goals came in the first half of a feisty well-contested affair between Team Nathan and FC Trinity. Half an hour into proceedings Nathan were 3-0 down but then a majestic free-kick from Rowlands got them back in it, which he added to with a goal straight from the half-way line for 4-2.

Although goals of beauty, it wasn’t enough for the home team as Trinity continued their good form and matched Nathan through good finishes from Stanton, Lakeman, Mason and Coley. Gringos lost at home 3-0 to Griffin.

The third tier was also full of goals and big results. Dunkerton grabbed their second win after ruling out Rogers’ goal for Puckle Vale in their 4-1 victory. Colchoneros continue to show that they’re probably a cut above with a big 4-0 win over Heritage Reserves but the biggest win of the weekend came from Farrington as they beat Bear Flat 7-0. Welton Rangers lost 5-2 at home against Two Weir Town.

LARKHALL Athletic have won the Somerset Girls’ League Under-12 final, played at Strode College, to be crowned 2019/20 champions. It is an incredible achievement for the girls as they have only been playing together for a year and the only girls side Larkhall had entered. Postponed due to COVID-19, it was an exciting day with a thrilling semi-final decided on penalties before the girls beat Shepton Mallet Sports 1-0 in the final. The winning team consisted of Emily Willis, Chloe Rose, Katia Reeves, Anna Harris, Greta Davies, Izzy Barron, Hannah Gleghorn, Amy Spinney and Rosa Couzins. The girls side of the club is thriving with weekly training sessions for girls aged 6-13. This season they have entered teams at U9, U11 and U13 level and the girls are coached by a professional whilst they learn about teamwork and respect but also have lots of fun and build wonderful friendships.
