Not a great start as Bridgwater’s team we only assembled properly on the morning of the game , however we came together and started the game really well . After a good few attacks Bridgwater made an early break through from a short corner . Steve Pigden pushed out to Tom Lott who’s return ball found Pigden unmarked in the post to slot home . Bridgwater’s midfield of George Adams and Dan Stone were working tirelessly to keep Yeovil at bay with the foremost mentioned Adams making crucial interceptions that not only stopped Yeovil but gave Bridgwater crucial attacking platforms .
Bridgwater found the net again after good work from Tom Lott and Rich Payne led to another short corner . This time the ball was slipped to Adams who returned the ball to Lott to slot home a well
Worked corner . 2-0.
Yeovil came hard at Bridgwater and got a goal back for 2-1 . The defence of Mike Morrish , Ian Stradling and Marcus Blyth made a slight adjustment and Yeovil found it hard to breakthrough again for the rest of the half .
Bridgwater extended their lead in the second half when Kit Hockey popped up to push the ball home after another swift counter attack for 3-1 . The game then drifted for a while and a heated Yeovil team who were already warned about conduct were starting to let the game get to them. However they managed to get another goal back to make for a tense last 10 mins . Bridgwater however rallied and held firm with a fantastic defensive display . The game ended 3-2 and. The man of the match went to Marcus Blyth
