GFA Challenge Trophy quarter final
Cadbury Heath 4 Kingswood 2
THE LAST team representing the Gloucestershire County Football League in the GFA Challenge Trophy Kingswood travelled to Toolstaion Premier League Cadbury Heath for this quarter-final match.
The game had been scheduled for a midweek match but unfortunate circumstances surrounding Cadbury Heath’s floodlight being out of action meant it had to be played on Satruday
The home side won 4-2 but not with out a good performance from Kingswood who took the lead on seven minutes when Ryan Mudd hit a sweet shot from the angle of the 18 yard box into the home net.
Just two minutes later Heath were level as Dan Huxley swept home a cross into the six yard box.
On thirty minutes the home side got their noses in front when Andy Campbell powered a header into the top corner of the net following a corner.
A third goal on 46 minutes from Huxley smashing it home following a goalmouth scramble put the home side well on the way to victory. But Kingswood hit back on the hour when Ryan Mudd headed home from a Simon Clarke free kick.
Mudd almost levelled the score on 85 minutes when his shot struck the upright, but it was not to be as Huxley broke away in the last minute of the game and on the third attempt after Fox had made two brilliant saves he finally got the ball in the net to complete his hat-trick.
