Abbeymead Rovers 'A 0 Tredworth Tigers 1
Gloucester Youth League - League Cup Q/F
Saturday 20th January 2007
Abbeymead were depleted by illness and came into this match with a bare seven players against the league leaders who had brought in re-enforcements. After just five minutes Abbeymead lost Brodie Goddard-Jones through injury and as a result they spent the remainder of the match defending. George Hall in goal was superb keeping out the Tigers again and again. Elliot Basford was a rock in defence and Clayton Dee caused some concerns for the Tigers at the other end. Just before half time a shot went through the defence leaving Hall unsighted and the Tigers took the lead.
In the second half Hall saved a penalty and Rovers were hanging on. However, the longer the game stayed at just one-nil Abbeymead were always in with a chance. In the last ten minutes the tables turned. Dee went forward and it was the Tigers who were hanging on. Dee, Joe Wilton and Ben Langworthy all went close but Abbeymead could not get the equaliser. A proud team performance against all the odds. This result now clears the way for the Tigers to probably win a league and cup double.
Abbeymead man of the match: George Hall
Abbeymead Rovers 'A': George Hall, Elliot Basford, Clayton Dee, Dan Lutman, Brodie Goddard-Jones, Joseph Wilton, Ben Langworthy
