Forest Rangers 0 Abbeymead Rovers 'A' 4

Gloucester Youth League
Saturday 25th November 2006


On a very wet, slippery and narrow pitch Abbeymead played some excellent football. Rangers kept three in defence to try to keep the potent Clayton Dee out. However it was George Hall and Josh Cannon who had to work hard in the first few minutes to keep Rangers out. Dee had many chances which went either just wide or were saved by the keeper. Dan Lutman provided many good crosses - Elliot Basford hit the bar with a fierce shot and it was Basford who set up Dee for the first goal - Dee beating the final defender and firing home. The keeper kept making inspired saves - even sitting on a shot from Elliot Obee.

In the second half Abbeymead played even better football - Brodie Goddard-Jones passed the ball well to wingers Ben Langworthy, who hit the post with one effort and Joe Wilton who fired several crosses across the face of the goal. Dee scored the second before having a deserved rest - Jamal Lawrence looked very lively when he came on - he earned a penalty only to see a strong save from the Rangers MOM deny him a goal. His run and unselfish cross led to Lutman getting the third and Lutman completed the scoring with a good shot from distance.
