League Review
Cribbs maintained their lead at the top of the Premier Division by beating Royal
Wootton Bassett Town 3-1 at The Lawns. All the scoring was done in the first
half with Asa Corrick, David Duru and Sonny Harnett-Balkwill on target for the
home side and Matthew Jones scoring a consolation goal for Bassett.
Malvern Town are still very much in the hunt following their 4-2 success at
Longlevens. Lee Llewellyn and Jack Beardsell netted for the home side but
Malvern came back with doubles by Ben Hayes and Jack Watts.
Lewis Leigh-Gilchrist notched the only goal of the game to give Roman Glass
St.George all three points at home to Bradford Town who slipped to the bottom
of the table after the defeat.
FA Vase semi-finalists Corsham Town – and we wish them well in their last four
tie against Ascot United today – eased to a 3-0 win at Mangotsfield United to
retain a chance of finishing in the top two. Neikell Plummer, Matthew Swann and
Robert Hobbs found the net for Corsham.
Tuffley Rovers moved off the bottom of the table after drubbing Hereford Lads
Club 4-0 thanks to Ryan Dobbins, Macauley Herbert, Warren Mann and Kieran
Alder.
Goals from Josh Davis 2, Luke Whelan and Kyle Chester earned Wantage Town
a 4-2 victory at Chipping Sodbury Town for whom Adrian Harvey and Tyler
Dacres replied.
Brimscombe & Thrupp’s 3-0 win at Lydney Town came courtesy of Oliver
Barnes, Oliver Pitt and Sam Foulkes, whilst Thornbury Town shared a 1-1 draw
with Shrivenham with an own goal. Billy Aldrich levelled for the visitors.
Hartpury University joined Pershore Town at the top of the First Division after
crushing bottom team Cirencester Town Development 10-1. King Baldoo
slammed four of the goals, Luca Robinson notched a hat trick, Charlie Johnson and
Philip Kay added the other goals.
Karl Dickinson, Jozef Fullerton and Declan Sheppard were the marksmen for
Clanfield 85 who edged out Long Crendon 3-2. Adam Jeffries and Oli Lethbridge
replied for the hosts.
William Fowler and Cameron Sanchez netted for Calne Town who beat Newent
Town 2-0.
In the other game played, FC Stratford won by the odd goal in three at home to
Littleton. Matt Reed and Joe Sykes gave them all the points while Charlie Muir
scored a consolation goal for the visitors who continue to struggle.
