Horsford United 1, Wells Town 0
THE Seasiders travelled looking to pick up points with new signing Tom East added to the squad on Saturday.
Early play was fairly even, with both sides searching for a breakthrough. Wells' defence cleared any real danger and Fulford had to be alert to clear a loose ball as Nichols loomed in on goal. Horsford cleared a dangerous ball as Grocott attacked, and a good cross from East saw Grocott head over Wilkes' cross-bar.
The second half started with Horsford attacking. In the 48th minute, Nichols forced the ball across allowing Rudder to slot home, giving the home side the advantage.
Fulford tipped a good header from Nichols around a post and Wilkes then saved well as Murfit was looking dangerous for the Seasiders. Wells thought they had forced a late equaliser as Murfit turned his marker, only for the match official to give a foul against them.
Somerton flashed a good shot across the United goal as Wells looked to level.
