Bridgwater put in a professional performance to cruise past local rivals Berrow on Saturday meaning they advance to the league cup semi final.

Bridgwater started at a frantic tempo with the front three of Matt Connick, Lee Villis and Charlie White causing the visitors problems with their energy and pace.

On a difficult playing surface, Bridgwater played some good football with Mike Duffy particularly impressive in the home sides midfield. They went close to taking deserved lead when a Tyne Govier's corner found captain Josh White at the far post, only for his powerful header to be blocked the line.

Shortly after the half time break, Bridgwater switched to a back 3 and introduced forward Kenzie Farnham. Only minutes after his introduction, Farnham broke the deadlock after some excellent work by Lee Villis allowed Farnham to bundle in from close range.

Immediately after their first goal, the home side were denied a second when following a neat team move Andy Venning's side foot finish was smartly saved by Nick Slack in the Berrow goal.

Bridgwater's lead was doubled with 20 minutes left when Mike Duffys powerful strike was misjudged by Slack and flew in at the near post. This goal deflated the away side and Bridgwater held on for a comfortable win and a spot in the league cup semi final vs Dundry on April 11th.

Manager Luke Buckingham said,

“It was a solid performance from the team today and I thought our energy and endeavour was outstanding. Despite a difficult pitch, we managed to pass the ball well in spells and I thought the score line was a fair reflection of the game. As a group, we've worked hard all season and we are delighted to be in the semi final.”
