Somerset League Division 2 East leaders Peasedown Athletic all but ended local rivals Radstock Town Reserves' title aspirations with a 2-1 victory that puts themselves in a strong position to pick up the trophy.
With just three games remaining, fourth-placed Radstock are nine points behind Peasedown, who are also three clear of Broad Plain House in second and have a game in hand.
The home side took the lead early in the first half when Radstock keeper Jamie Hunt could only parry Luke Litterick's shot into the path of Neil Hulford, who smashed the ball into the far corner of the net.
Town were soon on level terms when ex-Peasedown forward Jordan Townsley beat the offside trap before rounding goalkeeper Chris Allard to equalise.
Peasedown bounced back within a matter of minutes, though, and top scorer Hulford sealed the win when he smashed home his second from 30 yards.
Bottom side Timsbury Athletic finished the home campaign of a disappointing 2012-13 seaon with a 3-1 defeat to third-placed Dundry Athletic.
Randall opened the scoring for the visitors midway through the first half when he was left unmarked in the Timsbury box.
Dundry made it 2-0 just before the break when a corner from the left was dropped by the keeper and Nash made no mistake with his header.
Griffiths added a third after 70 minutes when he let fly with an unstoppable shot from 25 yards before Percival's penalty five minutes from time gave Timsbury a consolation.
