League Review

increased their lead, when a flick on from Kane Sansom found
Ollie Mason running through who cooly slots past Phillips in the
Stoke goal. Five minutes on it arguably should have been three
for Hill as a superb ball out wide by Telling found Fellows arriving
at the back post and heading against the bar. On 82 Little Stoke
got a lifeline when Tommy Coleman fouled, and Jack Watts scored
the resulting penalty. Little Stoke had plenty of time for an
equaliser, but Hill sat out the 10 minutes of added time for a 2-1
win.
To Hillside Gardens where Rockleaze Rangers put on a fantastic
display of finishing against a shell- shocked Gala Wilton. On just
two minutes George James found the ball at his feet on the edge
of the box and calmly stroked the ball past the advancing Oscar
Bignell, and the dream start got even better with two more goals
before seven minutes was up, firstly Ben Adam played the ball
over the top to Dan Webb who got to the byline before pulling
back for Drew Sawdon to slide the ball home from six yards, then
two minutes later Webb struck a superb shot past the hapless
Bignell. Webb almost scored again on 10 minutes, his back post
header superbly clawed away by Bignell. On 12 minutes Gala had
their first sight on goal when a dipping swerving effort by Antonio
Pirelli was smartly saved by Jordan Dunning. On nineteen minutes
Webb got his second of the match with another good finish after
being played through by Brandon Boontam and on 26 minutes
Boontam himself struck a free kick from the edge of the box which
curled around the wall and nestled in the corner of the net. On
thirty-two James got back in the act with a smart flicked finish
again from a cross by the impressive Webb. Gala started the
second half pressing Rockleaze with no signs of heads dropping.
But soon the hosts were back on the attack and Webb’s shot was
well saved by Bignell. With twenty minutes to go Marcus Williams
got behind the Gala defence and pulled the ball back for James
Goulden to pass it into the net from six yards. Five minutes later
Tate Shaw on for man of the match Webb smashed the ball past
Bignell from the edge of the box for the eighth Rockleaze goal and
the scoring was completed on 84 minutes with a really good
header by Jenson Beard from a Sam Bailey corner. It was a game
where the hosts took their chances and there could have been a
few more but for some inspired goalkeeping from Oscar Bignell,
but 9-0 it finished.
To Vicarage Road, where Hanham Athletic played Wick for a
desperately needed a home match. For the first 25 minutes both
sides were sizing each other up with several chances going
begging but it was Wick who took the lead on 26 when Brad
