South Zeal United 1

Topsham 4

ZEAL struggled to keep the ball on Saturday and all four goals came from mistakes that allowed the visitors to claim a comfortable three points.

Although several players were back as many were missing and a settled side and formation is needed if Zeal are to recover from this poor start to the season.

Barry Gilbert, one of three Gilberts on the pitch for Zeal, had a great game in goal and two saves in particular were out of the top drawer and he deserved man of the match.

Zeal had a good final 20 minutes and scored their only goal when Harley Cann crossed from the left and a nice touch from Karl Montgomerie put Tom Reilly in on goal and he finished well from ten yards out.

A second could have come five minutes later but Harley Cann's cross just evaded Scott Hooper at the far post.

Next week Sidmouth away, kick off 3pm.
