Cleevillians 3 Ross-on-Wye 0

Cleevillians deservedly avenged their defeat by Ross-on-Wye earlier on in the season to remain 2 points clear at the top of the Hereford & Gloucester League 1. Stuart Skinners' shot after 5 minutes was saved by the Ross keeper and a great move minutes later saw a reverse stick shot by Tom North go narrowly wide, following a quick interchange with Toby Flanagan.

After half an hour Ben Link from a short corner set up Toby Flanagan for a shot at goal, but the chance went wide of the left hand post. However two minutes later Ben Link drove a side line hit to an unmarked Stuart Skinner who swept the ball low into the right hand side of the Ross goal.

Seven minutes into the second half, Scott Mcilquham hit a shot from a narrow angle that was again well saved by the Ross keeper, but Cleevillians second goal was only delayed a further 8 minutes, when Tom North scored with a hard shot low to the keepers right hand side. With 10 minutes remaining, Scott Mcilquham was once again unlucky not to score, this time his goal bound shot was cleared off the line. Three minutes after the goal line clearance, Cleevillians scored their third goal when Ben Link broke down the right and his “shot come cross” was deflected in by Tom North, who registered his 27th goal of the season so far.
