BetVictor Southern League 2019/20
Division 1 South
Cirencester Town 4 – 0 Larkhall Athletic
Cirencester avenged their late goal defeat at Larkhall in November with a solid, all-round team performance to take the points against 3rd placed visitors Larkhall Athletic.
From the start Cirencester attacked with strong claims for a penalty kick in the first minute as Tommy Anderson was brought to ground as he burst into the box and as they continued to press they were rewarded with two goals when Larkhall conceded an OWN GOAL and JACK FREEMAN planted a free kick into the top left corner.
As Larkhall responded ‘keeper Lewis Clayton pushed a firm strike from Brad Norris over and following the corner kick he pulled off a couple more saves to deny the visitors strong rally.
The game became more even and as the interval approached Larkhall pressed in search of a goal but the home defence stood firm.
After the break Larkhall continued to press and Cirencester countered with no end product until the game entered the final 15 minutes when LEVI IRVING converted a corner kick with a sublime, glancing header into the top right corner.
Six minutes later MIKE POOK darted forward to head another corner kick home at the near right post.
Despite plenty of effort Larkhall were unable to break through a resolute home defence and Cirencester claimed three very important points.
CIRENCESTER TOWN:
Lewis Clayton, Nick Hancock, Jordan Morris, Michael Pook (C) (James Mortimer-Jones 83), Josh Nelmes, Will Wellon, Tommy Anderson (Lewis Thompson 46), Joe Turley, Ross Gabriel (Will Tunnicliff 80), Jack Freeman, Levi Irving.
