6/7th December Match Reports

Tetbury Town Youth 3 v Avonvale Utd 8

Tetbury welcomed Avonvale to play a morning of football so that both teams were able to involve all their players in this friendly local derby. In the first game Avonvale took the lead with Max Haynes, the Vale then went further ahead with goals from Marcus Toop & Jonny Kite, Tetbury then pulled a goal back coming from George Aplin which was the first goal towards his hat trick. The Avonvale goal scorers were Jonny Kite who added 4 to his seasons tally and Marcus Toop completing a hat trick. Well done to the Tetbury boys and in particular Sammy Raines who never stopped running the whole game.

Eastcombe Youth (U9) 0 v Avonvale United (U9) 2

This Carol Jenner cup tie saw Vale maintain a 100% record so far in this competition with two first half goals from James Skeldon and Captain Angus Perry. The Vale defence of Joe Williams and Sam Jones kept the home sides counter attacks at bay returning the third consecutive clean sheet for GK Adam Foster. Despite waves of further attacking play in the second period from Charlie Leech, Kieran Welsh, and Adam Gale they could not penetrate the Eastcombe defence any further with the closest effort coming from Perry who scrapped the bar. MOM Perry.

Slimbridge Reserves 1 Avonvale Utd 8
A place in the quarter final of the county cup was at stake as Avonvale visited Slimbridge. What could have been a potentially tricky encounter became a rout as the Vale gave probably their best display of the season.
After a fairly open beginning the visitors seized control of the game with four goals from Danny Seal and one from Tom Blackah giving them a 5-1 lead at half time. A second half hat-trick from Jamie Packer saw them run out 8-1 winners in what was an outstanding team performance.


Cirecnester & District Division 2
Chalford III 1 v Avonvale Reserves 2

Avonvale started on a front foot and should have found themselves 4-0 up in the first 20 minutes but failed to find the back of the net. They then went 1-0 down after a misplaced clearance fell to the feet of the Chalford striker who made no mistake in slotting it away. The second half started in the same vein with The Vale missing even more chances until Jack Thomas equalised from the penalty spot, Avonvale finally sealed the match when Dan Lees latched onto a through ball, knocked it past the keeper to score the winning goal.
