Central Division 2

Bridgwater A 2 Minehead 4

MINEHEAD continued their impressive start to the season with a 4-2 victory away to local rivals Bridgwater A.

Like the previous week Minehead exploded out of the blocks and were 2-0 up within the first 10 minutes, Nick Jones opening the scoring from the top of the D before Jos Bennett doubled the advantage deflecting in at the back post.

Despite the setback a spirited Bridgwater team belied their current league position, reducing the deficit on 20 minutes before completing a remarkable, but thoroughly deserved turnaround, levelling the tie at 2-2 just before the break.

The second half began all square with both teams knowing the next goal would be crucial in deciding the outcome of the match.

Fortunately for Minehead it fell to them, Bennett with a tidy finish for his second of the game.

As the home team pushed for an equaliser the game opened up and Minehead secured victory with a late fourth, Bennett completing his hat-trick with a clipped finish following a good break from Heale
