Toolstation Western League Premier Division: Barnstaple 0 Hallen 1

HALLEN have applied for promotion to the Southern League and kept their slim hopes alive with a win at Barnstaple.

Ashley Bennett scored the only goal of the game in the second half.

Hallen are in sixth place and ten points behind league leaders Willand Rovers but they have three games in hand.

Merthyr Town, who are the only other team to have applied for promotion from the Western League Premier Division, are only above Hallen on goal difference. A top two finish might be enough to go up.
