COMBE St Nicholas’ 4-0 home win over Glastonbury means that Minehead will definitely be playing in the first division of the Uhlsport Somerset County Football League next season.

Mathematically, Minehead were still facing the possibility of relegation until Combe beat Glastonbury to stay top of the table.

Minehead boss Lee Todd said this week: “Obviously I’m pleased with that result but I never seriously thought we would be in danger of going down. But it’s nice to know that we will definitely be playing in the first division next winter.

“It removes any uncertainly and we can play out the season.”

Meanwhile Minehead, who were due to play at home to Wrington Redhill on Wednesday night (April 15), play their last match of the season away to Clutton, who are just above the relegation zone, on Saturday, April 18.

Minehead will be looking to pull off the season’s double over Clutton, having gained an impressive 5-0 home win over their rivals in late November. In one of their best displays of the season, Minehead never looked back after Olly Prescott put them ahead in the 18th minute. They led 3-0 at the interval in a match played mostly in the rain.

Saturday fixtures: Ashcott v Peasedown Miners Welfare, Clutton v Minehead, Combe St Nicholas v Bishop Sutton, Sporting Weston v Burnham United, Winscombe v Wrington Redhill. Sunday: Glastonbury v Westfield.

Watchet Town, who lost 8-1 away to a strengthened Wells City Reserves’ side in the Premier Division last weekend, face another tough game this coming weekend - away to leaders Chilcompton Sports.

Watchet played well enough in the first half at Wells before conceding six goals after the interval.

Saturday fixtures: Congresbury v Worle, Chilcompton Sports v Watchet Town, Clevedon United v Clevedon AFC, Nailsea United v Stockwood Wanderers. Sunday: Chard Town v Yatton & Cleeve United.
