Yatton Suffer First Home Defeat

Clevedon United won 4-0 at Hangstones, in a match that could have been so different had Yatton taken their chances, especially in the first half. Yatton hit the post twice, and saw numerous efforts saved or flash wide.

Clevedon took advantage of Yatton's wasteful finishing by taking the lead right before half time with their first real attack, and after they doubled their lead early in the second half they made it very tough for Yatton to get back in to it.

In the end, Clevedon had that cutting edge in the forward department and especially had to thank their goalkeeper for three top class saves before breaking away to finish the game off.

Elsewhere the Reserves came from two goals down to draw, Chris Gumm getting on the scoresheet twice, and Matt Clothier bagged four goals as the "A" thrashed Dolphin Athletic away.
