Match Report for Sat 18^th Oct 2008

Cirencester 0 Cleevillians 5

Cleevillians moved into 2^nd place in the Hereford & Gloucester League 1 following a deserved victory over a battling Cirencester side. Tom North opened the scoring early on from a well taken short corner and then added a second 15 minutes later after being put through with a superb long pass from Toby Flanagan. The keeper made a good initial save but was unable to stop Tom's follow-up shot.

Although Cleevillians midfield worked well to maintain control of the game, led by Stuart Skinner and man of the match Toby Flanagan, neither side created any more clear cut chances leading up to the interval.

In the second half Cleevillians raised the tempo of their game, particularly in attack. From one of these breaks, Vince Clark drove into the "D" before scoring his 13th goal of the season. The same goal scorer converted from another well taken short corner before completing a second half hat-trick with a clever lob. Cirencester responded by creating a couple of half chances themselves but Cleevillians ended up deserved winners.
