It was a different story on Sunday as Minehead failed to repeat their form of the previous day and suffered their heaviest defeat of the season, 5-1 away to Weston-super-Mare, another side vying for promotion.

In a re-arranged fixture, they failed to find any kind of form and were picked off at regular intervals, with Archie Marsh scoring their consolation and James Miles the Inspired Partnership man of the match.

The Weston win saw them leapfrog Minehead into second place, with Minehead dropping to fourth place.

It leaves Minehead needing to win their final two games, starting with a home match tomorrow (Saturday) against bottom of the table Old Bristolians A.
