Cleevillians 2 Lansdown A 0

Cleevillians maintained their good start to the season with a hard fought victory over local rivals Lansdown. Early on Martin Halls shot just wide whilst Rob Link made a number of important saves, but it was Man of the Match Toby Flanagan who set Cleevillians going with a superb long pass which Vince Clark converted by flicking the ball over the advancing Lansdown keeper. The goal after 25 minutes seemed to settle the home team and they saw out the half without conceding any more chances.

Ten minutes into the second half, Sean Flanagan tackled an opposition player before launching another accurate pass to Vince Clark who scored his 12th goal in 4 games with a reverse flick into the corner of the goal. Thereafter Lansdown increased the tempo of their game but despite winning a number of short corners were only able to create one shot on target which Rob Link and Tony Pierce combined to clear off the line.
