Abbeymead Rovers Gladiators v Rodborough Raiders

Mid Glos Mini Soccer - Central League
Saturday 3rd November 2007


Again playing in their blue strip, this time at home, the Gladiators faced Rodborough Raiders in a new formation, playing Dominic Perris as a sweeper/feeder from defense. The game started very well with an early goal by Aiden Bonehill followed shortly by one by Ben Vallender. Ben then scored from the penalty spot which started a landslide of goals with a further two by Ben, two by Dominic Perris (one a great shot directly from a free kick) with Aiden getting his second to take the Gladiators to 8-0 by half time. Ben continued the assault in the second half with his fifth goal. Gladiator's goalkeeper Edward James then got his first touch of the ball (his total for the match was four). Three goals were then scored by Michael Assheton (the last from a great cross by Robbie Searle). The game was rounded off by two more goals, one each by Alex Fleming and Hayden Lavender. Final score 14-0.
