Chili take control of title race after crucial success

CHILCOMPTON Sports took a big step towards the Premier Division title with a 2-0 win at previous leaders Ilminster Town.

- 

Rightly billed as a potential title-decider on Tuesday, Ryan Gay scored both Chili goals to move a point clear with a game to play. It’s another tough one though as they take on third-place Nailsea United on Monday.

Chili had set themselves up with a 3-1 success at Uphill Castle on Saturday.

Wells City Reserves moved themselves into the top five with an 8-1 mauling of bottom side Timsbury Athletic. Nick Fowler had a day to remember as he struck a double hat-trick, alongside goals for Richard Fowler and Alex Robertson. Wells will finish fifth regardless of what happens in their final game.

Goals from Jamie Brown and Jacob Holland edged Somerton Town to a 2-1 win over Clevedon United in their penultimate match of the campaign. They will finish 12th and at least five points clear of safety.

Ashcott have one final game to try and complete their incredible great escape in Division One after their 4-0 win over bottom side Saltford was cancelled out by Keynsham Town Reserves’ success at home to Minehead.
