The Down travelled to Moor Lane on Saturday 7th September and romped to a 9-3 victory.
It was 4-1 at half-time, the visitors having gone 2-0 up and Town pulling things back to 2-1.
Erin Watkins and Sophia Wright each struck a hat-trick in South Somerset, and there was a goal apiece for Jessica Bailey and Kyla de Silva. A first-half own goal completed Odd Down’s tally.

Sammi Seldon netted the Hornets’ first-half goal. And Donna Hitchens came off the bench to grab a double in the second period, her strikes leaving Winky only 4-3 adrift before the Down raced away.
Hitchens was named Wincanton’s top performer.
