Bridgwater Sports Reserves made it through to the last eight of the Intermediate Cup following a nine-goal thriller against Forton.

A superb Mike Skidmore goal put Bridgwater ahead after just 30 seconds.

Dean Organ doubled the advantage on 20 minutes before Forton pulled one back. A second from Skidmore and a Ben Fellows strike put Bridgwater 4-1 ahead at the break. After Forton pulled another goal back at the start of the second period, Organ added Bridgwater’s fifth, only for two more Forton strikes to make it 5-4. Bridgwater clung on after seven minutes of injury time.

While there was joy for the reserves, in Division One, champions Bridgwater Sports suffered a shock 3-1 loss to bottom side Locomotives.

Middlezoy Rovers are up to third after a 3-1 win at Nether Stowey. Andy Smith scored two and Dan Luce the other for Middlezoy; Jason Alexander replied for Stowey. All other games were postponed.

With Bridgwater Sports Reserves in cup action, Predators took the opportunity to snatch top spot in Division Two with a 6-2 win over White Hart Rangers.
