We wish you well old friend …. do not be a stranger “ Nick Finch ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Match Report: 17th May, 2016 Bridgwater Town FC v. Wrington-Redhill FC Tuesday,17th at Bridgwater Town FC, Wrington-Redhill FC made history by winning the Somerset Premier & Division 1 cup for the first time in their 126 year history .. A large and enthusiastic crowd gathered in Bridgwater to witness this final.. A clear night saw Fry’s in Red begin strongly with Wrington-Redhill threatening on the break .. a game played at high tempo and excellently  refereed by Alan Raggett  eventually saw Fry’s make the breakthrough midway through first half, when a loose ball ricocheted  around Wrington-Redhill’s  penalty box and nestled just inside keeper Clarke’s right-hand post .. messy but they all count . Wrington competed equally for the remainder of the half with Luke Patten going close with a header and Mike Rowcliffe not quite being able to direct two good efforts on target .. Half time arrived 1-0 the score . The second half saw Wrington-Redhill become more assertive as the game wore on and it was a shot by Luke Patten, well saved by the Frys keeper, that was despatched into the net by Josh Bennett.. cue hysteria by the travelling Redskin followers !..tails up and a Fry’s player dismissed by referee Raggett for a two footed tackle (so I’ m told ) .. Wrington-Redhill then were awarded a free kick 20 years from goal, as the ever willing Liam Knight was bundled over .. Chris Gayle who had seamlessly dropped into centre half after 20 mins, when the unlucky Sam Clements was forced off with injury, stepped up and fizzed the ball into the back of the net ..a swarm of green shirts tsunamied their way to manager Smith and the bench .. sheer delight for all from the Shire .. . Young Travis  then sealed the famous win with a 25 yard screamer .. Fry’s still kept at it and forced several corners and free kicks, but the introduction of Club legend and talisman, Graham Cheeseman, whose pure will to win and aerial prowess typified the Wrington-Redhill players’ resolve  .. Cheeso , Cheeso  the faithfull chanted their adulation .. final whistle .. euphoria . !.. .
