Mendip 3 – Bridgwater 1 (24/10/2020) Goals scored: Harry Ellison (2), Josh Sutton.

[…]

13/2/16: Mendip looked resplendent as they took to the field to face top of the table Westbury, proudly bearing the name of their new sponsor, local business CassidyGregory Electrical Contractors Ltd & as if spurred on to pay merit to their benefactor they put in one of the performances of the season so far that […]

20/2/16: Despite some indifferent results, since the turn of the year Mendip have been playing exceptionally well & on Saturday their excellent form culminated in a hugely important win against promotion contenders WSM.

With the hosts controlling […]

23/1/16:  When Mendip faced West Wilts ‘A’ earlier in the season, there was little to choose between the two sides and following 70 minutes of an enthralling match on Saturday, once again they came away with honours even. The hosts started brightly and moved the ball around well, attacking down both flanks but the Mendip […]

12/12/15: Despite the best efforts of the West Somerset tourist board it appears that the coastal town of Minehead is not considered to be an attractive place to visit in the middle of winter or so it would seem as after exhausting all available options the Mendip skipper could only muster a sum total of […]

5/12/15:After a very disappointing first half to the season Mendip were back to somewhere close to their best against a high flying Bath side but even so despite putting up brave resistance they narrowly lost out in a hard fought contest. Welcoming back such key players as James Lovell and Andy Wood the Mendip defence […]
