Abbeymead Cheetahs Under-10s 0 Cinderford Town Under-10s 3
CINDERFORD produced a fine performance to progress to the semi-final of the Severnvale Service Shield.
Abbeymead started strongly but Cinderford, who reached the final of the competition last season, resisted with Joel Morse, Ryley Cocker and Jack Cook prominent in defence.
Gradually Cinderford started to win the midfield battle and took the lead midway through the first half when striker Liam Wilkins held off the Abbeymead defender and teed it up for the oncoming Theo Crompton to strike high into the net.
Cinderford doubled the lead in the last couple of minutes of the half when Liam Wilkins was fouled on the edge of the box. Wilkins scored from the free-kick .
Marley Edwards replaced Wilkins at half time and gave Abbeymead a different kind of threat with his pace in behind while captain Charlie Taylor impressed in midfield. Goalkeeper Callum Phillips made important stops before Logan Donnelly came on to replace the injured Jack Cook and won the ball and released Theo Crompton who ran on strongly before firing home.
Cinderford Town: Callum Phillips, Joel Morse, Ryley Cocker, Jack Cook, Theo Crompton, Charlie Taylor (capt), Liam Wilkins. Subs: Logan Donnelly, Marley Edwards.
Player of the Match: Callum Phillips
