Cleevillians 6 Glos City 1

Cleevillians remain top of the Hereford & Gloucester League 1 following a fine win and performance against a determined Glos City side.

The home side started well with Vince Clark setting up a good chance after 12 minutes which was placed narrowly wide by Sean Flanagan. There was a more favourable outcome a couple of minutes later, when Clark this time put Scott Mcilquham through on goal and his control and shot was too good for the Glos City keeper.

A smart free hit by Sean Flanagan 5 minutes later was flicked in by a lively Tom North for his 29^th goal of the season.

Following a shot by Jake Windsor that was well saved by the Glos City keeper, Vince Clark scored the first of yet another hat-trick, after Tom North had intercepted a pass in midfield and laid the ball onto Martin Halls.

Vince Clark added another goal following a short corner to give Cleevillians a 4-0 lead at half time.

The interval suited Glos City better, since they came out with greater determination and put Cleevillians under significant pressure for a good 10 minutes. However from a quick break out of defence, Vince Clark completed his hat-trick following a neat interchange of passes in midfield.

Almost from the restart, Glos City managed to scramble the ball over the line after Chris Smallwood had made an initial save. Cleevillians re-established the 5 goal difference, when Tom North scored his second goal of the game with a superb individual effort.
