28/3/15:  Mendip finished their league campaign in style with a victory over Lodway to finish a respectable 7th place in the table. It also sealed Lodway’s demotion to Brunel Division 2 next season. The hosts soaked up early pressure from the visitors with Mendip’s goal keeper Jenny Dallimore making some excellent saves to keep her […]

21/3/15: The score line of this match was not a true reflection of the game in which Mendip yet again put in a strong first half performance but then struggled to find their form in the second. Mendip applied early pressure to the visitors defence but failed to convert scoring chances. It was against the […]

14/3/15:  With the return fixture earlier in the season ending in a heavy 6 : 0 defeat, Mendip could certainly take heart that only 2 goals separated them this time. With just the bare 11 players Mendip dominated play in the 1st half and there were plenty of goals for the home crowd to cheer. […]

7/2/15:  Following on from the high of last weeks’ victory, Mendip’s low came in the 2nd half of this match away to Keynsham. For much of the 1st half the visitors matched the well drilled, strong Keynsham side and capitalised on good attacking play. They went into the break with a 2 goal lead thanks […]

28/2/15: Mendip mastered a massive upset in Brunel League Division 1 with an emphatic victory over table topping and previously unbeaten this season, Mid Somerset. Mendip expected a tough encounter and a largely defensive game but the 1st half was anything but. The hosts applied lots of the early pressure playing good passing and moving […]

21/02/15:  With the return fixture earlier in the season ending in a heavy defeat for Mendip, the visitors may have been excused for thinking that victory was already in the bag but they were made to work hard for their 3 points on Saturday. They did open the scoring quite early on in the 1st […]

7.02.15 :  With both teams in the lower half of the table a win for either side would make a relegation battle less likely in March. It was Mendip who came out on top however, putting in a strong team performance to secure all 3 points. It was an interesting 1st half with Mendip stamping […]

31.1.15:  Mendip started this match brightly and found themselves in the lead with a goal from Karen Inns after just 10 minutes. This seemed to spur the visitors into action however and Mendip found themselves increasingly under pressure struggling to build play effectively. Despite solid defending most notably from Esther Selway, Nailsea found the back […]

24.01.15:  Mendip travelled to Bristol keen to secure 3 points to bolster their league position. This was the first encounter of the two teams as the fixture earlier in the season was conceded by today’s hosts as they were unable to field a side. There was little to choose between the sides in the opening […]

10/1/15: Mendip travelled to Bristol hoping for a positive start to the second half of their season but it was not to be. Initial hopes were raised when it was evident that the hosts had no keeper but it meant they were able to then compete with 11 outfield players and this advantage showed in […]
