Drimpton FC Thrash Ilminster FC, 8-1

Drimpton have moved into the semi finals of the Jack Venn Cup after an emphatic performance and result against Ilminster.
Match report:
The Greens wasted no time in getting their passing football going. Some of the passing was exquisite causing the visitors numerous problems early on. Adam Cody Boucher gave the hosts an early lead but were soon pegged back when the ball took a nasty bounce catching out the home defence and the Ilminster No 9 ran on to the ball poking home.
Drimpton then went up another gear and effectively finished the game with 2 further goals in the first half.
3 – 1 Drimpton half time.
The second half was a dominant performance with Drimpton playing some of their best football of the season. The one time passing and the movement off the ball was a joy to watch. Further goals were added by Adam Cody Boucher who got himself another hat trick, Pawel Ciereszko 2, OG, Josh Cousins and Frank Symonds completing the scoring.
Manager Andy Loudon added ” That was a very pleasing performance with us playing some lovely football. We were very ruthless in front of goal tonight and progress into the semi finals of the cup
The club have a very important fixture coming up this Saturday (9th April) when they host Shepton Beauchamp, the Greens will be hoping to get the point needed that will crown them champions of Divison 2.
Football
Kick off is at 14.30
and they would love to see as many people as possible cheering the Greens on.

Good Luck Drimpton FC!

Drimpton FC – Need One Point For Championship Title

The Perry Street & District League Division Two title is almost over and after drawing with Charmouth 1-1 on Saturday, 26th February, Drimpton FC now need just one point from their final two games to take the title.

Match Report:

In what was a very close cut contest this afternoon, Drimpton & Charmouth came away with 1 point each and the result leaves us needing just 1 point from our final 2 games to solidify us as Division 2 champions in the Perry Street League.
The game started with both teams enjoying spells of possession before Frank Symonds unleashed a shot from range which was comfortably saved before Charmouth tried a shot from distance which flew harmlessly over.
The first major chance fell to Drimpton after Adam Cody-Boutcher won the ball in the air and perfectly flicked it on for Adam Chant who shot just over when bearing down on goal.
The first half concluded with both teams scrapping for possession and the rest of the chances were shots from distance which left both ‘keepers relatively untroubled.
The second half began with a half chance for Drimpton after Tom Franklin cut out a pass which allowed Pawel Ciereszko to challenge for the ball in the air with the Charmouth ‘keeper but he just missed out on capitalising.
Charmouth then had a very good chance of their own after a good cross which saw a first time volley go over the bar.
Drimpton then got a bit of control of the game and the opening goal came from Frank Symonds who chased down a through ball which Charmouth’s ‘keeper came out for but then got caught in no man’s land which ultimately gave Symonds the time to pick out a perfectly lobbed finish.
Drimpton carried on with the same second half intensity from last week’s game against Charmouth but this was a game of few chances and this was largely in part to both teams defences playing very well throughout, however, there was nothing the Drimpton defenders could do as Charmouth equalised thanks to a stunning long range strike.
The equaliser took the sting out of the game and both teams finished an even match with a point apiece.
Drimpton now head into a 2 week break knowing that our destiny is in our own hands and only needing 1 point from the remaining 2 games to end the season as champions.
Manager, Andy Loudon, had the following to say: “On another day if we took our chances we’d have come away with all 3 points but I’m happy with 1 point and we know we only need 1 more to confirm ourselves as champions.”
Scorer: Frank Symonds

FootballAt their earlier game last month, they took 3 points after beating Charmouth 3-5

Euro 2021

The oldest rivalry in international football … At 8pm on ITV this evening, England play Scotland in their 2nd match of the UEFA EURO Cup at Wembley Stadium.  The teams have not faced each other since a pulsating 2-2 draw at Hampden Park in 2017, a match which saw three goals in the final six minutes!

Gareth Southgate, his team and the English fans are all confident of victory having beat Croatia 1-0 last Sunday with a goal scored by Manchester City Forward, Raheem Sterling. At their 10th attempt, this was the first time England have ever won their opening match.
England are hoping that it will be a repeat of the classic encounter between England and Scotland at Euro 96. England won that day 2-0 with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne.

The Scots however, their first appearance in a major tournament in 23 years last week, were reminded of the disappointment of watching Scotland at the World Cup in Argentina 43 years ago as Patrik Schick from the Czech Republic put two goals in the back of Scotland’s net – one of them extraordinary from the halfway line.  Steve Clarke and his team have a lot to do!

Peter Davies Wins Local Bowls Championship

It was mainly sunshine this afternoon and a brief rain shower was followed by a beautiful rainbow high in the sky over Fullers and our village.  Three local villagers were in competition.

The match was close at times and despite scoring the most Woody’s of the afternoon, Peter Davies (in main photo) had accumulated the most points over the last 14 weeks with 226 and at 3pm was declared the overall Winner of their championship.Christmas GarlandThe title of the most Woody’s overall could have been declared before the match began as Steve ‘Slick’ Kylie was so far ahead on this count!

Steve won this afternoon’s match but overall had accumulated 217 points and he received the Runner up trophy.Christmas GarlandThere was also a trophy for the one coming in last and the Loser’s trophy went to Mike ‘Slammer’ Steer who managed just 201 points.

With Christmas music playing, they enjoyed a barbecue at half time and a few passer’s by observing the action, they were fortunate with the weather although it was a cold wind.

The 3 winners: Mike, Peter & Steve.

Christmas Garland

The three now plan to have a week off next weekend and resume playing on Sunday, 10th January 2021.

Fullers Lockdown Bowls Championship On Sunday 27th December

On Sunday, 27th December on the lawn of 13 Fullers in Broadwindsor starting around 11.30am/12noon, there is a very serious competition taking place.

About four months ago, during Lockdown, three residents of Fullers were so bored, they decided to play a game of bowls on a sunny Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a small barbecue of chicken and burgers on one of their lawns.  They so enjoyed their afternoon, they decided to do the same the following week. They have now been playing each Sunday and maintaining the chosen lawn for almost four months, religiously whatever the weather.

The three individuals competing are Mike Steer a.k.a. Slammer, Peter Davies a.k.a. Hartley’s & Steve Kylie a.k.a. Slick. all residents of Fullers.
They are competing for the trophies shown. The one on the left is for the winner.  The one on the right is for the runner-up.  The one in the centre is for the Woody champion.  The Woody trophy will be awarded to the unfortunate individual who hits the blocks of wood in the centre of their lawn (an addition to make it a bit more interesting) the most times.  Trophies will be awarded after play, prior to their barbecue by Web Mistress, Wendy Shields.

Fullers Lockdown Bowlers
From Right to Left: Mike Steer, Peter Davies & Steve Kylie.

Peter Davies assured that “Even if there’s six inches of snow, we’ll clear the lawn and play! It’s a bit of good fun.

Spectators are welcome 🙂 Their match is expected to last 90-120 minutes.
