Recap
Report
The Peacocks played well and fully deserved the victory against a strong Supermarine side in the latest pre season friendly.
The home side had the first real chance after 34 minutes when a free kick from George Dowling went just over but it was Taunton who took the lead three minutes later when a Joe Guest cross was finished by Ollie Chamberlain after good work by Joe Budd and Dave Sims-Burgess.
Supermarine continued to push forward and substitute Jack Stanley had a shot saved by Taunton keeper Will Buse after 54 minutes. The visitors increased their advantage after 65 minutes when Ollie Chamberlain scored from a free kick following a foul by Sam Turl on Nat Jarvis. Turl had a chance himself on 79 mins but sub keeper Lloyd Irish made a good save.
A pre season friendly would not be the same without a goal by Harry Warwick and he duly obliged two minutes from time, cutting in from the right and finishing with a thunderous left foot shot which gave the triallist sub keeper no chance. Taunton sub Dylan Morgan had a late chance which went over the bar but the Peacocks ran out comfortable winners.
