Cinderford Town Colts Under-11s 2
Broadwell Youth Under-11s 1
Cinderford moved joint top of the league with a win at Forest Academy.
Cinderford started the brightest with Jake Wassell getting plenty of the ball and using it well, twice releasing Harry Wilkins down the right hand side and producing great balls into the box, but on both occasions there was nobody able to get the decisive touch.
Jason Heaphy produced an individual moment of magic, cutting in from the left and beating three players with a series of clever step overs but was unable to get his shot away and the attack was eventually halted.
Fifteen minutes in Broadwell took the lead against the run of play, when a good corner was headed home. Cinderford were on the defensive but with captain Holly Brown and Oliver Stamp-Dunstan both in excellent form Tom Phipps was rarely troubled in goal.
The introduction of Aaron Singleton, Taylor Blaby and Liam Wilkins before half time gave the home team the initiative and within 10 seconds of the start of the second half it was 1-1.
Straight from kick off Taylor Blaby played the ball to Liam Wilkins on the right and his powerful run and cross was finished off by Taylor Blaby.
With 10 minutes to go it was 2-1 to Cinderford thanks to some quick thinking from keeper Tom Phipps who spotted striker Taylor Blaby in space and his quick kick put Blaby through one on one to produce a stunning 15-yard lob over the onrushing keeper.
Broadwell pushed for a late equaliser but found defender and player of the match Holly Brown in inspired form.
