HEAVY WEATHER Sherborne struggled to break down Bishop Sutton
Western League Div 1

Bishop Sutton                    1              Sherborne                          1

Sherborne were Team of the Month in a poll of 300 Western League fans after winning all three league games and an FA Vase match in September.

But October isn’t proving lucrative, with The Zebras losing 3-4 at home to lowly Almondsbury then failing to hold their lead at midtable Bishop Sutton.

Alex Murphy put Sherborne ahead on 53 minutes but their lead lasted just three minutes against a team that hadn’t won in five games. Almondsbury were also on a poor run, winning only two out of 12 but the Bristol team took the lead at Sherborne through a penalty.

Dec Cornish equalised but ‘Bury then sprinted into a 4-1 lead by 65 minutes. Ashley Knight scored a hat-trick for the Bristol team.

A late rally saw The Zebras score two in the last eight minutes, through Josh Williams and Cornish.
