P. 10
Corsham Town suffered the heartbreak of losing by the barest of margins in the semi-finals
of the Isuzu FA Vase and missing out on a trip to Wembley Stadium. Visitors Ascot United
won through to the Final by winning the penalty shoot-out 5-4 after a 2-2 draw. Goals from
Sean Keet and James Rusby kept Corsham alive but they suffered the same last four fate as
another local team – Bitton – a few years ago.
Taking advantage of several postponements, Malvern Town cut the lead held by Cribbs to
two points by beating Tuffley Rovers 3-1 with goals from Ben Hayes 2 and Harry Clark.
Ryan Dobbins reduced the arrears for the strugglers.
Worcester Raiders’ chances of finishing in the top three suffered a severe setback as they
were-drubbed 4-0 at home by Hereford Pegasus, for whom Jordan Williamson netted
twice and there was one apiece for Cawley Cox and Matthew James.
Roman Glass St. George also saw their hopes take a knock with a 3-1 home defeat by
Royal Wootton Bassett Town. Bradley Pagliaroli was on target twice and Matthew Jones
grabbed the other for the Wiltshire side.
A 5-3 win at Hereford Lads Club has boosted the survival chances of Lydney Town at the
other end of the table. Two goals from Jarred Liddington, and one each by Jaheim Allen,
Lewis Thompson and Lucas Vaughan saw them take three vital points. Brandon Jennings 2
and Matthew Williams replied for the home side.
Jack Beardsell and Josh Mason earned Longlevens a narrow 2-1 victory at Fairford Town
who hit back through Finlay Jenner.
Cirencester Town Development notched their first win of the season in the First Division,
beating Moreton Rangers 2-0. Sam Kern and Matthew Purcell were on target in the
momentous win.
James Hawkes grabbed the only goal of the game as Long Crendon won at Kidlington
Reserves.
In the only other First Division fixture played on Saturday, Southam United overcame
Newent Town 2-1 with goals coming from Ryan Harris and Adam Neale. Sanchez Grange
scored a consolation goal for Newent.
