Wells Town 3, Horsford United 0
Wells Town played Horsford at Beach Road and produced another solid performance.
A seventh-minute free-kick was turned away for a home corner, but on the 11th minute Sutherland-Gray pounced on a loose ball and broke the deadlock. Just before the interval Harrison went on a mazy run and blasted home from 18 yards.
Straight from the re-start Sutherland-Gray chased down a loose ball, turned his marker and chipped the keeper.
Wells introduced 16-year-old Ben Scott for his first taste of senior football, and he certainly looks one for the future.
