The Down, from Trophies of Radstock Mid Somerset League Division One, emerged 1-0 victors over City, who are from the Premier Division.

However, the sides will be in the same section next season as Odd Down secured the Division One championship just three days before the Friday 1st May showpiece at Shepton Mallet’s West Shepton Playing Fields ground.

The decider was a second-half own goal by the Wells keeper.

Captain Tyrone Mulholland was the Devs’ man of the match.

Odd Down followed up their Charity Cup triumph by romping to a 4-1 success against fourth-placed Chew Magna Reserves in a league game at the Lew Hill Memorial Ground on Tuesday 5th May.

Kevin Boadi, Edwin Mazhindu, Mulholland and Abdoulaye Ndiaye notched the home side’s goals.

There is still plenty more action to come for the Devs, starting with a league fixture at home to Pilton United tonight, Thursday 7th May (6.30pm).

The Down will entertain Mid Somerset Premier Division team Westfield Reserves in the Dimmock Green Cup semi-finals on Saturday 9th May (2pm).

The prize for victory is a clash with Wells City A or the Premier Division’s new champions Coleford Athletic, whose last-four encounter will take place tonight.

Radstock Town’s Southfields headquarters will be the venue for the Dimmock Green Cup final.

Pensford are set to visit the Lew Hill Memorial Ground in the league on Tuesday 12th May (6.45pm).

And Odd Down will take on Taunton & District League outfit Racehorse Rovers at Bowdens Park, Cheddar, on Friday 15th May (7.30pm) in the Somerset Intermediate Cup final.

Meanwhile, Odd Down Women – the new champions of Somerset County Women’s League Division Two – are staging open trials at the Lew Hill Memorial Ground next month.

Players aged 16 and above are invited on Thursdays 11th, 18th and 25th June (6.30pm to 8pm) and can register their interest by calling team boss Rob Macer on 07825 295595.
