Wrington Redhill celebrated their third win in a row after edging past Peasedown Miners Welfare.
In a tense encounter, Redhill secured a 2-1 victory at home.
The match, marking Peasedown's first visit to Wrington's Rec ground in many years, began with Jack Hutchings hitting the bar for the home team with a long-range effort.
10 minutes in, Dan Berry, coming up from the back, launched a powerful shot that ricocheted off the bar, hitting Peasedown's diving keeper Chris Allaco on the back, before rolling into the net.
Peasedown nearly equalised when Charlie McLachlan bypassed advancing keeper Rob Hannah with a through ball, but Josh Skuse managed to scoop it off the line, preserving Redhill's lead.
The first half ended with a 1-0 lead for Wrington Redhill.
Tensions flared at the start of the second half, but Wrington Redhill manager Scott Campbell managed to calm things down as players from both sides got involved in some pushing and shoving.
Peasedown were gaining the upper hand until Jake Marshman snatched the ball off Peasedown’s Bert Haines, who was left with no choice but to bring him down just outside the box.
Jack Hutchings then stepped up to curl the resulting free kick past Allaco and into the top corner, doubling Redhill’s lead.
Peasedown, however, continued to play well and saw their chances of making a comeback improve 15 minutes from time when Redhill’s Jack English was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, Redhill managed to hold off Peasedown’s attacks, with Josh Skuse, Harding James, and Berry putting in a solid defensive performance.
However, their lead was eventually cut short when Charlie McLachlan thumped a corner from the right into the net.
The final period of the match saw Redhill in a defensive stance, managing to hold onto their lead and secure their third consecutive win.
Skuse was named Supporters’ Man of the Match, with his goal-line clearance and all-round performance standing out.
