Nailsea pressed from the start and after 5 minutes created the opening chance when a pass from James Lee was put over the bar by Matt Long. The home side continued to dominate when on 25 minutes against the run of play a speculative shot from the edge of the area deceived the home side keeper to give Watchet the lead.

This reverse only spurred on a competitive Nailsea side. Watchet had their keeper to thank for two brilliant saves from Matt Long to allow them to go to the break in front.

For the second half Kevin Cosham replaced the injured Rob Wilson with Ben Cook moving into the back four. Immediately striker James Lee had the opportunity to score the equaliser but could not beat the Watchet custodian.

Nailsea then began to play some of their best football of the season and it was no surprise when after 56 minutes a well worked move down the right found James Lee on the ball who crossed into the centre for Matt Vickers to bravely volley the ball home giving the visiting keeper no chance.

The Nailsea midfield were now rampant with Matt Long, Kevin Cosham and Russ Driver causing all sorts of problems for an increasingly and surprisingly dispirited Watchet Town. It was no surprise that on 60 minutes a shot from Cosham was parried to Matt Long who emphatically found the back of the net for the winning goal.

The home side played out the remaining time mostly in the opponents half. Rob Dace replaced Matt Vickers on 85 minutes to ensure that the home side ran out very worthy winners.

This was possibly the best all round display of the season by Nailsea with the defence in fine form, the midfield dominant and the forwards creating good chances. It would be wrong to single out one player from such a good team performance but Captain Matt Long was an inspiration to the rest of his team
