COWES THE ONLY WINNERS ON LAST WEEKEND OF SEASON

By Clare Wall - Saturday, April 26, 2008

COWES Sports were the only top side to take all three points on the last weekend of the season for Sydenhams Wessex League teams.
The side beat Bemerton Heath Harlequins 2-1 away, thanks to a goal from Charlie Smeeton and a penalty kick from Wayne Newnham.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, the depleted Brading Town registered a 2-2 draw with Hamworthy Utd, a result manager Phil Moore was very happy with.
"We had a good few teenagers in our side today and they did the club proud. We deserved the win, but if you had said earlier that we would get a draw today, I would have been very happy," he said.
Both goals were scored by 17-year-old Simon Armstrong, making his debut for Brading.
Meanwhile in Division 1, East Cowes Vics lost 4-0 to Warminster Town.
Manager Lee Dixon decided to rest many of his first team players in preparation for this week's IW Gold Cup semi-final against Newport.
"We had a lot of reserves out there today and they did a great job," he said. "We were 0-0 up to 70 minutes but then we ran out of steam."
In the Southern League, South and West Division, Newport were edged out 3-2 by Winchester Town.
