Gloucester welcomed the welsh outfit to Longlevens, having previously drawn 3-3 in the reverse rainy fixture.
A noted attendee for this week's game was the returning of Coach Harris and the sad demotion of Tony Pony. The boys were ecstatic at the prospect of being coached under (and I quote), "A young, vibrant, talented and specimen of a man in Lee Harris." [You couldn't make it up!].
The boys were warned that they were in for a test and that is exactly what they got.
Despite both teams starting well, it was the home team that created the early clear chances. Following a brilliant corner by Taylor to the back post, Bee had noticed a butterfly pass by and subsequently switched off for a moment. The ball hit him on the head and fluttered passed the post for a goal kick.
Soon after, a Mulraney free-kick to the back post also sees Fisher putting his header just wide of the far post before Taylor, who had been closing the defence down well, jumped on a chance given to him by Davies in goal, only to put the one-on-one effort wide.
Following that, where both teams lacked in elegant football, they made up for in grit and determination. Both teams cancelled each other out for the large part and created very little in front of goal until finally Villiers poked home following persistence from Fisher and Jones outside the Swansea area.
Villiers then missed a one-on-one after one of the passes of the season from Fisher and Boakes, in goal, makes a couple of saves to keep the Bs in the lead.
Davies, in goal for the away team, kept his team in the game with two magnificent saves. Good work from Bee led him to take the ball into the area, where Fisher let the ball run to Villiers whose quick shot was heading 'top-bins' before Davies leapt through the air to palm over the bar. A long range effort was then deflected off a Swans defender, looking as though it had fooled the keeper before an agile shifting dive again pushed the ball over the bar. From the resulting corner, Bee, who luckily had no butterflies around him, then rattled the crossbar in the effort just before setting up Jones to easily tap in and double the lead.
Swansea at times throughout the game really came at Gloucester when they had regained possession. After some resolute defending from Mason, Ball, Werner and Mulraney all game - with the help of Kennedy and Jones in front, Swansea did manage to find a goal with a minute to go, when a lovely lofted ball into the area from a free kick was headed in by Cuthbert.
This was a great answer to an away team that asked many questions of this blossoming Gloucester team.
