Minehead AFC secured a pre-season win against higher league opposition Staplegrove.
This friendly match saw the Blues dominate from the start, with Fin Harran nearly scoring in the first minute.
Though his early shot missed, he continued to pressure their opponents' goal.
Will Singleton-Voss also tested the Staplegrove keeper, Shaun Locke, who made a fine save.
However, a corner from George Sinnott allowed Ollie Morris to open the scoring, with his effort going in off a defender.
The Blues doubled their lead before half-time, with Morris again on hand to finish from another Sinnott corner.
This time, the ball glanced in off Singleton-Voss near the goal line.
Michael Nield put in a good performance and could be in line for a first-team squad place, alongside substitute Dan Vickers.
Goalkeeper Greg Turner also impressed with several competent saves.
The team now faces the challenge of deciding who to leave out of the starting line-up, rather than who to find to fill available places.
The Minehead team consisted of Turner, Bertie Harvey-Larmar, Sinnott, George Painter, Stefan Phillips, Nield, Singleton-Voss, Morris, Toby Waghorn, Ollie Miles, and Haran.
Rolling substitutes were Guy Burns, Sam Jackson, Fin Landon, and Vickers, with Nield being named man of the match.
The Blues have two more pre-season home games lined up.
They face Bishops Lydeard on Wednesday, July 31 at 7.30pm, and Wellington AFC at the Rec on Saturday, August 2, at 3pm.
The season kicks off with a trip to Winscombe on Saturday, August 9.
Their first home league fixture is against Peasedown Miners Welfare on Saturday, August 16, at 3pm.
A spokesperson for the club said that although pre-season results might not impact the season's fate, Craig Carr can be pleased with the potential first team squad and their performance in the game.
