Sherborne v Wincanton derby set to provide thrilling end to football season

THE football season is drawing to a close – but as the Premier League giants battle it out in the Champions League, two Dorset/Somerset rivals are set to finish their year with a delightful derby.

On Saturday (April 19), Sherborne Town and Wincanton Town will finish their Wessex League Premier Division programmes with a derby-day match-up.

The game, at Sherborne’s Raleigh Grove home, will get underway at 3pm and promises to be an eventful game.

Sherborne, known as the Zebras, currently sit in guaranteed ninth position in the league table, with their Somerset neighbours Wincanton in 15th spot. Victory could see Wincanton, however, move up the table if other results go their way.

The Premier Division title was secured by AFC Portchester last weekend, while last night (April 14), Sherborne picked up a 1-0 win at home to Cowes Sports, while Wincanton’s last match, away at United Services Portsmouth, saw the Somerset side pick up a 2-1 victory.

On Wednesday night (April 16), Sherborne will take on Laverstock & Ford, before the final game on Saturday, while Wincanton host Andover New Street.

Tickets for Saturday’s match, kick off 3pm, cost £8 for adults, £5 for concessions, and £1 for under-16s.
