On a nice flat pitch at Fry’s suitable for some nice football that should match the play of Bradley Stoke so far this season, the away team came out in good spirits. And it turned out to be a very one sided affair, but also one of the most unmemorable games ever!

First half:

Liam Dixon had the first goal from a scrappy flick on by Andy Forshaw from a deep throw in by Ben Osborne.
Paul Skipp found himself in front of goal, but only managed to blast over the bar, however he made amends for this just moments later. Kev Gray played the ball down the line to James Bowman who moved it infield to Skipp who scored from just outside the box for Bradley Stoke’s second.

Andy Forshaw finished a breakaway to bag the third of the match ready for half-time, assist coming from Dixon.

Second half:

The second half was marginally better than the first half, probably aided by the fact that the opposition looked like they wanted to play for a few moments.

Andy Forshaw opened the scoring for the second half following an assist from Liam Dixon.

Mark H from a cross ball supplied by Ozzy, beating the defender to the ball courtesy of a sliding right foot shot into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Andy Forshaw’s third came near the end of this boring game, courtesy of a through ball supplied by Skipp. Forshaw slotted the ball home calmly into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Final score: 6-0

Against the opposition’s best/only player, Kevin Gray received man-of-the-match for this game, finding himself able to move forward into acres of space, whilst containing any forward moves down the left...very calm on the ball.
