Late strike secures victory for Bristol City U23's in GFA Senior Challenge Cup re-match.
GFA Senior Challenge Cup
First Round
Cirencester Town 1 – 2 Bristol City U23’s
Cirencester faced Bristol City U23’s in this GFA Senior Challenge Cup First Round fixture - having been defeated by them two months ago in the delayed Final of last season’s competition.
On a cold, wet evening home ‘keeper Matt Wieczorek was the busier in the first half, although Jack Horrell had the first pot at goal with a curling effort from 25 yards, as he produced three fine saves.
As half-time approached Alhaji Sesay saved an effort from Ben Whitehead and Henry Spalding struck a post but it was the visitors who took the lead a minute before the interval when JAKE ANDREWS managed to find the back of the net.
Cirencester levelled mid-way through the second half as AIDAN BENNETT scored his third goal in four days with a looping header.
The game looked destined for extra time until TOM RICHARDS curled a 30 yarder into the top corner four minutes from time to secure victory for the visitors.
