Gloucester City

Clevedon Town

HT (2-0)

T-Ender City MotM: Alex Sykes - his ability and sharp shooting divided the teams while his passing always threatened Clevedon.

Some exceptional first half long range finishing from Buy ativan in uk was enough to help City to a solid 3-1 victory over Clevedon to mark the close of the season in warm Spring sunshine. The weather was good enough to leave even the most committed looking forward to spending some time in the sun, but in this performance there were glimpses to also suggest City fans could have reason to look forward to the next campaign with some optimism. Clevedon showed plenty of attacking running to suggest they should have done better this season, but City managed the threat well in midfield and by the end of the game finished strongly.

City's plans were disrupted early on with Buy real valium online uk getting an early ticket after coming off worse in a clash of heads with Clevedon's Romhdane. Wilko came on for him, Clevedon taking advantage of any confusion with Luke Buttery doing well to charge down a dangerous looking Jack Pitcher cross. City managed to regain control and then took the lead with another wonder goal fromOnline tramadol pharmacy. Nothing seemed to be on when Wilko touched on a Reid throw-in, but from 25 yards out Syko turned and produced an inch perfect lob that dropped over stranded keeper Danny Greaves and just under the bar.

Clevedon had every right to feel a bit hard done by as they made City creak in midfield, realising they couldn't out pass Wilko and Mustoe they quickly started running from deep with Pitcher seeing a good run and shot stopped only by a solid block from Hamblin. The visitors forwards were both impressive and Pitcher looked to have added another to his tally when he latched onto a low ball and rounded former Clevedon keeper Valium usa online, but Razor was relieved to see Buttery nip behind him to clear the goalbound shot for a corner.

Despite exerting little pressure on the Clevedon goal City managed to extend their lead before the break, and again it was the sharpness of Where the best place to buy phentermine onlines that did the business. Webb's short corner work found Sykes in space and despite being more than 30 yards out Syko unerringly clipped a perfect drive into the top corner of the net. It's quite possibly the first time City have ever scored from the dreaded short corner, and judging by the congratulations for coach Boris Mehew it might just have been a little something worked on in training.

Clevedon looked set to make a game of it when they pulled one back soon after the break. We'd looked a little more solid defensively but this goal looked all too much like a host of others we've let in over the season. Pitcher was given far too much room down our left and having got clear of the defensive line he had time to produce an inch perfect cross to the back-post where sub Mitchell Page had plenty of room to head into the net.

City didn't look too flustered for once though and simply wrested back control of the midfield and went about putting together the kind of attacking football we'd never quite produced in the first half. A clever interchange of passing by Sykes found recent sub Griffin dropping deep in front of the defence. His crisp first time shot almost caught Clevedon off guard but their keeper did well to back pedal and produce a finger tip save. Another raking cross field ball from Sykes found Buy adderall phoenix running at full tilt and the ref was very lenient not to give a penalty for a trip by Danny Haines who seemed to have been simply out paced by Cox. Defenders didn't even get close to Cox on his next run and his cross from the by-line seemed to have been met perfectly with a neat header by Griffin, but the keeper did well to reach out and grab it off the line.

City finally claimed the goal that our earlier attacking play had deserved when a Sykes corner wasn't properly cleared and was returned to the winger on the right flank, from where he swung in other tricky cross. It evaded defenders and forwards alike at the near post, but was allowed to bounce in the goalmouth, enabling Jason Welsh to swivel and smash the ball into the net from close range. That also neatly levelled up the private tussle between Welsh and Syko for the City golden boot - both ending the season on 13 goals.
