Playing up the Shapwick slope is never easy and we were put under a lot of pressure early on. A superb strike on the half-volley from a corner put Chilton into a deserved lead after 10 mins and our defence were under real pressure not to concede a second. Nick Downes, in his first game of the season, held the defence together with superb support from Michael Paz. We settled down to play some good football and after passing the ball well in midfield, Peter Jenkins scored a deserved equaliser.

After half-time we played our best football of the season with everyone joining in and enjoying the game. When Peter scored his second goal our confidence grew and our first victory seemed assured when John Pykett slotted home a blatent penalty. There were still twists and turns before the end and Ben Love had to pull off a superb penalty save to secure the lead. Peter settled our nerves with the goal of the season to round off a superb “hat-trick”.

The game finished 4-1 to Shapwick. A superb team performance allround. Well done Shapwick!
