Dover Athletic vs Taunton Town

Report Another point on the road for the Peacocks as they extended their undefeated run in the National League South to an impressive ten games and avoided defeat for the first time against a Dover club following four previous meetings. Equality was about right on an afternoon when Town recovered from conceding inside 20 minutes…

Taunton Town vs Portishead Town

Report Two goals from Ross Stearn helped the Peacocks through the opening round of the Somerset Premier Cup as they beat the current Western League First Division leaders. It was by no means a one-sided contest though with a tidy Portishead outfit displaying why they sit atop of their table but in the end a…

Taunton Town vs Eastbourne Borough

Report On this corresponding weekend ten years ago, the Peacocks had surrendered their lead to slump to a 2-1 defeat at bottom side Guildford City in the Southern League South & West Division before a crowd of 81. An awful performance, as I well remember. Fast forward to 2023 and drink in the progress, this…

Taunton Town vs Havant & Waterlooville

Report Let’s start with the positive. Another point gained by the Peacocks towards the ‘safe’ tally of 50 and a result which still keeps them in 5th place. However it could have been a maximum haul had the hosts accepted a gilt-edged opportunity in the final minute of the game, but Nick McCootie’s penalty missed…

Taunton Town vs Merthyr Town

Report The Peacocks were sent packing from this season’s FA Cup competition at the first hurdle by a Merthyr side who were far superior on the night. Any notion that the hard work had been done in the first tie on Friday to bring the Southern League side back to Wordsworth Drive for a replay…

Merthyr Town vs Taunton Town

Report The scene was set for an upset; Friday night football under the lights, a vociferous home support, a Merthyr side riding high in the Southern League Premier and the Peacocks’ historically dismal record at the old school Penydarren Park. Town sides of old may have faltered under the weight of those ingredients but not…

Tonbridge Angels vs Taunton Town

Report Some away days produce a real feel good vibe, and this game fits that category perfectly as the Peacocks stretched their unbeaten run in the National League South to seven matches on a baking hot afternoon in Kent. Two goals from Dylan Morgan before the break were reinforced by Nick McCootie in the second…

Chippenham Town vs Taunton Town

Report Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. Not sure where exactly following 90 minutes of high drama which made up the Peacocks’ highest octane game yet in the National League South and probably for many a season. After going two goals behind, the visitors bossed the majority of the game once the hosts had…

Taunton Town vs Dartford

Report Dave Sims-Burgess scored his first goal of the campaign to extend the Peacocks’ unbeaten run in the National League South to five games. Whilst the contest did not hit the enthralling heights of the previous Wordsworth Drive experience against St Albans, the points were equally as welcome against another side who had featured in…
