Subs: Peare, D. Anthony (on), Bailey. S. Anthony (on)

With McGrath and Rodney Marsh injured one of the central defender role was filled by Danny Lane but within 30 minutes Lane collected his second yellow card and Taunton played out the remainder of the match with ten.
Too painful to write a full report ... General consensus Alexis Piper and John Harris the pick of the first half in which Taunton contested the match for the first 20 minutes.

Half Time: 0-1

Pick of the players second half Craig Veale for some tireless running but most of this was in chasing down the play and trying to put defending players under pressure. Craig had the only two attempts on the Mangotsfield goal in the second half both of which brought good saves from the Mangotsfield keeper.
Three goals in some six minutes finished Taunton off and this must have felt like Groundhog Day for Manager Paul West.

Final Score: 4-0

And the taunts from the home supported of “Can we play you every week” summed up a poor performance.
