Gloucester B 3-1 Bexley B by CFP
Both teams started very slowly, creating very little in terms of chances until Walsh was brought down by Campbell in the Gloucester area. Bradbury stepped up and clinically finished into the bottom right corner to give the visitors the lead.
Campbell (who will continue to be mentioned) quickly made amends. Picking the ball up in the middle of the park, he dashed down the right side to the by-line and whipped in the perfect cross for Lock, who matched the build-up play with a precise header beyond the keeper.
The second half saw more goal action for Gloucester as the visitors looked to tire. A corner from Easterbook bounced around the area for what seemed like an eternity. Bexley couldn't clear and Gloucester couldn't seem to connect. That was until Campbell came flying into the box and rifled home from six yards out.
An unlikely source popped up with the crucial nail in the coffin. A long range free kick from Campbell was fired towards goal. With Bexley failing to head it clear the ball bounced in front of the salmon-like Flatt. Leaping into the air, Flatt looped a header over the flailing keeper to gain the final goal of the game.
In what was a physically challenging encounter, a brilliant second half performance full of conviction and belief and led by Harding enjoying his best game of the season to date, helped The Yellows to a deserved victory.
