This was Cirencester Towns first pre-game of the season and they gave a run out to a number of trialists. Cleeve had 5 of last season U16s in our squed of 14.
Cleeve started the brighter and kept the ball well ….. however Cirencester took the lead against the run of play when a shot squirmed out of the goalkeepers grasp and crept over the line. A fine long range shot from an angle gave Cirencester a two goal cushion just before halftime.
Jess Stirling broke through and finished well 20 mins into the second half…to give Cleeve hope…but a mistake at the back gifted Cirencester their third. Jess scored her second when she broke clear and managed to poke the ball between the goalkeepers legs.
FT: 3-2
A good run out again and the U16s performed well.
