BUCKLAND Athletic were involved in one of the only two games to go ahead in the Western Football League over a miserable weekend.

Wind and rain battered some areas with snow also wreaking havoc but the Bucks’ away game against Bridgwater United still lasted from minute one to minute 90.

Portishead Town hosting Barnstaple Town was the only other fixture to be fulfilled in the WFL and that ended goalless, leaving Buckland as the sole goalscorers with a 4-0 victory to remember.

Young Ryan Smith opened the scoring on 22 minutes for the visitors and the lead was then doubled on the brink of half-time in Somerset, courtesy of dominant defender Adam Hill. Fullback Sam Morcom with the assist for both goals.

Ryan Richards and who else but Ryan Bush got in on the act after the break to put the game out of reach for the trailing Bridgwater.

This convincing win for Dan Hart’s side paired with the lack of action from elsewhere in the division leaves them in fourth.

Barnstaple stayed ahead of Buckland after they picked up that point at Portishead whilst the Newton Abbot-based team overtook both Portishead and Street FC.

Buckland have a game in hand on Barnstaple who are just one point ahead and three on league leaders Brixham AFC, who are six ahead, meaning there are many more twists and turns still to come in this title race.

Talking of Barnstaple and they will visit Homers Heath tomorrow night, weather permitting, in a mammoth Western League clash.
