Windsor Drive 1 Abbeymead Rovers 'A' 4

Gloucester Youth League
Saturday 23rd September 2006

This was an excellent game of football between two competitive sides on a good pitch and well refereed.

Abbeymead were very sleepy at the start but took the lead when Clayton Dee latched onto a long kick from George Hall and bustled his way through before finishing well. Indecision in defence meant that Drive got straight back into the game - Josh Cannon and Elliot Basford left a bouncing ball and the Windsor Drive forward finished well. Ben Langworthy fired just wide from a Brodie Goddard-Jones cross and then just before half time Abbeymead scored two quick goals. Goddard-Jones took a short corner to Cannon who passed back for Goddard-Jones to cross for Dee to head home. . Langworthy and Dee combined well several times without an end result. Dee then went on a run and set up Joe Wilton for the third.

The second-half was very even - Abbeymead pressed but Windsor Drive were quick on the break - Basford, Cannon and Goddard-Jones made tackle after tackle to keep Drive at bay and Hall had to make some important saves. Near the end, Goddard-Jones won an important header and set up Dee for his third which sealed the game. Wilton nearly added a fifth just on the whistle. Dee is in fine scoring form having netted seventeen times in the first five games.

Man of the Match: Brodie Goddard-Jones

Abbeymead Rovers 'A': George Hall, Brodie Goddard-Jones, Joe Wilton, Josh Cannon, Elliot Basford, Clayton Dee, Ben Langworthy
