Gloucester Youth League Cup
Sunday 16th October
Abbeymead Rovers progressed through to the next round of the League Cup with a well earned victory away to Hardwick B. Abbeymead started very brightly and scored within the first two minutes curtsey of a well struck shot by Kieran Smith. Hardwicke then defended well to stop Abbeymead adding to the score, they even threatened to break through occasionally for an equaliser. However, a good Abbeymead defence marshalled by the reliable Barnaby George dealt with any threats. Eventually Kieran Smith got his, and Abbeymead's second after a delightful flick on by Matthew Ball. Just before half time Hadley Gilbert broke through from midfield to score a good goal to make things comfortable at half time for the travelling Rovers side
Half Time: Hardwick B 0 3 Abbeymead Rovers
Abbeymead started the second half playing some good football. Good work by Liam Phelps in midfield help spur Abbeymead on looking for further goals. An excellent individual goal by Gareth Davies secured Abbeymead's fourth goal. Good defending by the solid Brian Goodman and Adam Thrall restricted Hardwicke to only two chances in the second half. The first was dealt with clinically by goalkeeper Jacob Ellmore, who was quick off his line to close down a dangerous attack. Unfortunately for Abbeymead, Hardwicke scored on their next attack .Despite a valiant effort, by the ever dependable Nate Crosby, Hardwicke scored a well earned consolation goal.
Danny Baxter worked hard down the flanks and was unlucky not to score with a good effort on goal. With Adam Crabbe and Tom Rich working well down the left it was not too long before Rovers increased their lead again. The best move of the match saw Matt Ball and Barnaby George combine well to release Gareth Davies down the wing. An excellent cross was met by Kieran Smith, who completed his hat-trick with a sweet touch to beat the goalkeeper at the near post. Abbeymead were now fully in command of the game and were looking dangerous on each attack. Joshua Harris scored his third in three games, which was just rewards for his unselfish hard work.
Tom Rich completed the scoring, leaving the goalkeeper stranded, with a well struck shot.
