Gloucestershire County League
Kingswood 4 Broadwell Amateurs 2
KINGSWOOD prepared for their visit to high-flying Frampton United on Tuesday by extending their run of success in a great escape from the bottom of the table.
Kingswood let in their hundredth goal of the season but still managed to win.
The victory is their fifth in six matches and has seen them move on to 20 points after only gaining one point from their first 23 games.
Kingswood got off to a flyer when Gary Simmons broke clear to give them the lead on 10 minutes.
It took the visitor’s just five minutes to level when Craig Tait’s first shot was well saved by Chris Fox but he followed up to net the rebound. Simmons again put the home side in front another break into the box to make it 2-1 on 20 minutes.
The visitors made it 2-2 on 40 minutes when Ryan Wilks headed home from a free kick. Right on half time Kingswood retook the lead when Frank Hitchings hit the ball into the box and Archie Bennett managed to get his knee to the ball and past the visitor’s keeper.
The home side looked the better side in the second half and sealed the three points on 70 minutes when a good four man build up was neatly finished off by Callum McManus.
