Patchway Town 0 Kingswood 1

THE GAME at Scott Park between Patchway Town and Kingswood was decided by a single goal, but the home side must be wondering how on earth they lost the game.

They completely dominated the first forty five minutes and created numerous chances but failed to put any of them away.

Their opposition Kingswood never managed a shot on target and home keeper Jamie Framiloe was a spectator throughout the first half. The visitors have their goalkeeper Chris Fox to thank for making some splendid saves as well.

Patchway’s Jordan Yeo broke clear on goal and cut in to strike a low shot on fourteen minutes but that man Fox save well with his legs the ball flying over the bar.

A couple of minutes later it was Yeo v Fox again this time from a free kick on the edge of the box with the keeper pulling off yet another great save.

Jordan Yeo was definitely out to try and put the home side in front when his next effort on goal in the 17th minute was only just wide.

The home side should have done better when Matt Davies weaved his way to the bye-line chipped the ball into the six yard box but nobody was up supporting.

On 36 minutes Gavin Dibden hauled back Matt Tovey on the edge of the box on the right – the ball was pumped into the box it was scrambled away but straight to Luke Garbacz but his shot went just past the post.

Davies again broke into the box and let fly only to see Fox palming the ball away. With just two minutes before the break, Yeo got the ball across to Garbacz but his header went straight into Fox’s arms.

Kingswood started the better in the second half and pushed up more on the home defence with a couple of speculative shots from Ben Foxwell and Jamie Evans going well wide. At the other end, Matt Davies struck the upright and was cleared by Kingswood.

The visitors went ahead on 66 minutes from a break down the right a ball crossed into the box and Ryan Mudd fired the ball past Framiloe.

Kingswood almost got a second on 74 minutes when Ryan Mudd sent a low cross to the far post and Jamie Evans latched onto the ball but then shot wide.

Dan Bendall was brought on for the home side and was unlucky in the 79th minute when a defence splitting pass found him on the edge of the box with just Fox to beat but the keeper had read the situation and just managed to strike the ball onto Bendall and out for a goal kick.

The visitors were showing much more intent and the home side had lost that rhythm they had in the first half and Kingswood substitute Jordan Simms had Farmiloe at full stretch to save his twenty yard shot.

Patchway’s Luke Garbacz hit the crossbar with a speculative shot at the other end. It was Farmiloe who denied Ryan Mudd a second goal two minutes from the end saving well from the strikers shot.
