Les James League Cup first round
Kingswood 2 Thornbury Town 1
KINGSWOOD bounced back from last week’s defeat to book their place in the second round with a 2-1 victory over Thornbury Town.
Thornbury took the lead on 13 minutes after Craig Lancastle surged into the box from the right had his shot well saved by Blackwell but the rebound fell kindly for Danny Thompson to tap in.
Kingswood’s first effort on goal after 25 minutes came from a Simon Clark free kick from the edge of the box which was well saved by Lippiatt.
The home side almost levelled on 45 minutes but Ryan Mudd was just wide from a Luke Chappell cross. On 63 minutes Gary Simmons had a good chance for the home side but hit it straight at Lippiatt.
The equaliser came in the 66th minute from a cross from the right that found Jamie Evans to swivel in the box and strike his shot past Lippiatt. The winner came in the 90th minute from the penalty spot.
A cross from Gary Simmons to the far post saw Lippiatt bundle Evans to the ground and referee point to the spot. Simon Clark stepped up for the penalty and gave Lippiatt no chance.
