Mangotsfield United….1 Cirencester Town…5
Mangotsfield’s record against ‘The Centurions’ in recent times has not been great, but this was the second time that Cirencester have won 5-1 at Cossham Street,(2003/04) and ‘The Field’s heaviest defeat of this campaign. New signing, Kevin Davies from Paulton Rovers, started, as Chris Peck was injured and Miles John, Jake Thomas & Clayton Fortune were unavailable. Theo Llewellyn was suffering with illness and Bristol Rovers loanee Jamie Bremner was recalled by ‘The Gas’. On a positive note, Louis Britton was recalled from Brislington, and scored.
The game was effectively over by half-time as ‘The Centurions’ hit four first-half goals, leaving the hosts shell-shocked and it was an ex-Mango, Alan Griffin, who started the blitz after 28 minutes when he popped up at the far post to volley home with the defence floundering. 0-1.
Within two minutes, the scoreline was doubled as the speedy Ben Whitehead raced through a static defence to slide the ball home. 0-2.
There was some respite for the hosts after 35 minutes when Louis Britton took advantage of a defensive mix-up between keeper Mateusz Wieczorek and himself to lob home an easy chance from the edge of the box, 1-2.
But that was it as two more strikes before the break condemned ‘The Field’ to a difficult second period. Aidan Bennett curled an audacious lob into the far corner, beyond the reach of keeper Kieran Hodges in the 38th minute, and in first-half stoppage time, Tommy Anderson was gifted the time and space to fire home from around the penalty spot. 1-4.
HT: 1-4
The second-half was a formality as Cirencester controlled the game and added to their score with a superb 25 yarder from Jack Freeman in the 78th minute. 1-5.
Mangotsfield rarely created an opportunity despite putting the pressure on but Cirencester dealt with everything comfortably.
