Gloucester Badgers 1 – Lydney Badgers 10
Saturday 21st January 2012
This was the badgers’ second win of the year. An emphatic display, although they were slow to start, allowing Gloucester to take the lead in the first five minutes. This did not last long as Dominic Musgrove was on hand to turn in a cross from the right to level the scores. Within minutes he was on hand to repeat the strike to give Lydney the lead. Joe Fuller added the third with a shot hitting the back of the net giving the keeper no chance. Musgrove then completed his hat trick, before adding another to increase his tally to four. Just before half time Danny Hume had his customary strike from the edge of the D to give Lydney a 6-1 halftime lead. The second half continued with Lydney pressure which saw James Saunders add two further goals. A Henry Kirk strike followed before Saunders unselfishly set up Lee Morgan for his first goal for Lydney and their final goal of the game. The central defender Jack Turley marshalled the Lydney defence superbly and the once he was beaten David Reid pulled off an amazing save to deny the Gloucester attack. Marcus Hutchinson and Sam Horton linked well on the right as did Kirk and Hume on the left providing plenty of crosses for the forwards to work off. The midfield was controlled by Alex Hetenyi and Reuben Elliot assisted by Mitch Brett in his debut game for the badgers. Credit to Gloucester who kept trying despite conceding goals. Alex Hetenyi was voted man of the match. The badgers captain Chris Rothery- Jones was unable to play having damaged his thumb the previous week provided support from the sidelines. Next Saturday the badgers entertain Wotton under Edge looking to avenge their early season defeat.
Rob Hume, your match reports are brilliant – keep them coming !!
