Midweek Action

Keynsham Town ended a run of five home matches without a victory on Tuesday evening, coming from behind to beat Cadbury Heath 3-1. The away side wet ahead in the 17th minute through Ben Allen, but that was as good as it got for them, as the duo of Adey Harvey and Matt Brown teamed up to spearhead Keynsham’s comeback. Harvey was first on the scoresheet, levelling the scores less than three minutes after the Heath had taken the lead, with Brown then firing home a couple of moments later to turn the game on its head. During the second half, Brown turned provider for Harvey, who completed his brace to hand Keynsham all three points, leapfrogging their opponents in the process. In the other Premier Division tie that night, Street were leading Clevedon Town by three goals to two at the interval, before severe fog forced the game to be abandoned after 45 minutes. Chipping Sodbury Town are through to the second round of the Gloucestershire FA Challenge Trophy, after sneaking past Tytherington Rocks of the Hellenic League. The Sods twice came from behind during normal time to secure a 2-2 draw, with the home side then prevailing 4-3 on penalties to book their spot in the next round. Roman Glass St George are also through to the last 16 after three second half goals helped them secure a 4-1 victory away at a Cirencester Town Development XI. In the other clash to beat the wintery conditions, a first half double from Dan Monk helped Cribbs Reserves to a 3-1 win away at Longwell Green Sports.

Weekend Action

A dramatic late winner saw Hallen return to winning ways at home to Street, with a number of postponements elsewhere in the Premier Division seeing the home side end the weekend in fourth spot. Having fallen behind in the 16th minute, Hallen left it late before getting back on level terms, with Kyle Thomas striking ten minutes from time. Then, with Street down to ten men, Hallen managed to snatch all three points, when Sacha Tong headed home deep into stoppage time to grab the 2-1 win. In a top-half battle which beat the weather, Shepton Mallet rescued a point at home to Clevedon to extend their unbeaten run. Having fallen behind to Archie Ferris’s opener after 20 minutes, Shepton secured a share of the spoils, when Aaron Seviour equalised just after the hour mark. Bradford Town will feel hard done by, after their clash away at Wellington was abandoned 20 minutes from time, with the visitors leading by three goals to nil. Radstock Town were the big winners in the First Division, with the Miners now lying third in the table following a 3-0 victory away at Devizes. Goals from the two Morgan’s, Skipp and Marsh, put Radstock in control at the interval, with Rico Sobers then adding a late third to complete the victory. At the opposite end of the league, Hengrove secured a crucial three points, scoring just after half-time in their 1-0 win away at Welton Rovers. Meanwhile, in the Les Phillips Cup, Roman Glass St George battled back from a two-goal deficit to defeat Keynsham in their rearranged second round tie. After goals from Matt Brown and Craig Wilson had put the visitors in command, Roman Glass struck twice in the final 25 minutes to send the game to penalties where they prevailed 4-3 to set up a home clash with either Bradford or Bitton in the next round.
