A point apiece for the two teams which will probably satisfy Meridian far more than City – given the two side’s respective places in the current league table, but City may well view it as two points dropped because they had some really good chances to win what was a very tight encounter played for the first half-hour in horrible, driving rain.

A fairly comprehensive victory for City today away at basement club Meridian VP. On an unseasonably warm and sunny afternoon, two goals in each half sealed the win and although the hosts kept trying to get forward, it would be fair to say that City keeper Dan Smith probably had one of his easiest afternoons.
