Hellenic League Division One West
Cirencester United 0 Headington Amateur’s 3
United got off to the worst possible start when the two central defenders left it
To each other to deal with the ball that was easy to clear, but the hesitation allowed
Darren Witchell to pounce, stride forward, and place his shot past Dean Dixon
The home side recovered and gradually started asking the questions, with Vladimer Bedrich reaching the goal line and sending in a decent cross but no one could get the final touch, New signing from Cricklade, Dellroy Fallon also knocked in a good ball, but again no one on the end of it. Straight after half time Headington doubled their lead when Adam Lovegrove hit a free kick from just outside the box that breached the wall and flew past Dixon,
United almost pulled a goal back immediately, when Richard Miles broke free on the left, worked his way into the box and pulled the ball back into the area finding Bilal Kartit who with a neat pass found Fallon who placed his shot but it lacked the venom to beat keeper Dan Blanchini, Miles again used his speed to break into the box but as he went round Blanchini. The keeper reached out to palm the ball away from him, this was a great stop, and dented the home sides hopes, they were extinguished in the 85 minute when Matt Phillips converted a penalty awarded against Simon Offley for a push on Lovegrove.
