    Intro

    The Mid-Somerset League Division One consists of 8 clubs this season. Peasedown Albion Reserves are unbeaten so far yet, due to having several games in hand over all the other sides, are currently in 3rd position. Despite this, their previous game was a defeat in the County Cup to Odd Down’s Development side. The reverse of today’s fixture resulted in a 5-3 win for Albion at Pensford Recreation Ground back in November.

    Chew Magna Reserves are down in 7th place with just 2 wins to their name. Their most recent victory was a few weeks ago: a 5-3 away win at Pilton United. Interestingly, the match that preceded that high-scoring win was the aforementioned 5-3 defeat to today’s opponents. Magna’s season started badly; with an 8-2 defeat at home to Westfield Reserves, and they didn’t manage a victory until a 2-0 Cup win over Haydon Sports from the league above.

    Intro

    A successful season for Glastonbury has seen them promoted to Division One of the Somerset County League in 2nd place, behind Imperial FC. After a couple of seasons finishing mid-table, The Dollies convincingly secured their promotion losing just 3 league games so far. They got off to a great start; winning their opening 5 league games and not losing until November. Oddly their most recent game, last Saturday, was away at the temporary home of today’s opponents in Tunley. That game ended in a close 2-2 draw.

    A repeat of that score line won’t help Chew Magna; they need a win to have any chance of sneaking into the 3rd promotion spot and joining Glastonbury in Division One next season. They will also need Congresbury to fail to win today against Hutton. Should Magna win and Congresbury draw, the former will be promoted on goal difference. There may well be some tired legs in the Yellows’ ranks as they played on Thursday night – a vital 3-0 away win at relegated Cheddar Reserves.
