SOMERSET U16s 2 BERKS & BUCKS U16s 1

Paulton Rovers hosted a very enjoyable FA County U16s Youth match, with Berks & Bucks the visitors to Somerset.

The visitors’ Abs Khan tested Bath-based Ben O’Hare in goal, before Somerset went ahead on fourteen minutes, as Rory Jones found Dev Halladey, who superbly lobbed over B&B keeper, Ben Parslow.

Somerset were on top, and Halladey a constant threat. However, against the run of play on forty minutes, the visors levelled following a corner on the right – a loose ball fell to Tobi Collins, who made no mistake.

Jones was influential in midfield, and set a good chance for his centre-forward, Harry Purser, to run on and grab Somerset’s second after 54 minutes.

O’Hare then pulled off two saves from Josh Adeyemi; the second an absolute blinder. In the final minute, Somerset should have added to the tally, as Connor Westerside saw his effort held by Parslow.
