Somerset County League
Bishops Lydeard finally clinched the First Division championship when they picked up the one point they needed in a 2-2 draw at Churchill Club 70. As it happened, they had already won the title as the only team that could have denied them, Odd Down Res., were beaten 2-1 at Street Res. on the final day and had to settle for second place. Watchet Town confirmed their promotion with an emphatic 9-2 demolition of Worle, securing them the third spot. Backwell Utd Res. finished a disappointing season in bottom place, following a narrow 3-2 defeat at Nailsea Town. New champions Nailsea Utd were pushed all the way on the last day by Timsbury Athletic who went down by the odd goal in nine, an narrowly escaped relegation by just two points. Shirehampton won the other game played, beating former champions Burnham Utd 2-1 in their seaside home town. Runners-up Wells City were held 1-1 in their final match by Castle Cary. After a season-long struggle with Nailsea Utd, they finished the campaign a full ten points behind the new champions.
