Abbeymead Rovers Gladiators v Thornbury Falcons Central

Mid-Glos Mini Soccer - Central League
Saturday 22nd March 2008


Leaving the snow flurries at home, the Gladiators headed south - unfortunately the weather followed and so on a bitterly cold day, the Gladiators faced the Thornbury Falcons away. Despite the cold, the game set off at a good pace with a goal by Michael Asshetton which he followed soon after with another on the rebound from the Thornbury keeper. The Gladiators once again demonstrated some excellent passing and positional play dominating the field. Aiden Bonehill scored from a poor goal kick by Thornbury, Ben Vallender from an excellent corner by Michael Asshetton who then completed his hattrick shortly before half time when the Gladiators had five goals to nil.
Fighting against the cold, the second half continued much as the first half with good passing, defensive cover from front to back and consistent teamwork. Robbie Searle scored from a Michael Asshetton corner, Ben Vallender from an excellent Aiden Bonehill cross and the game was closed with a delightful goal by Alex Fleming. Another great game by the Gladiators finishing 0-8
