Central City 0 (0) Heavitree 2 (1)

City now have a solitary point from their last 6 league matches as their lack of goal scoring once again proved to be their downfall. With Dylan the only City player to have scored in the league this season, City appear to be running short of ideas in front of goal. In a very even first half with City playing against the wind, chances were few and far between, and Heavitree's only real shot on target unfortunately flew in over Joey, after 20 minutes.

The second half would hopefully be better with a stiff breeze behind, but whilst City enjoyed the majority of possession, they rarely created any chances. Lucas managed to get the ball in the net with fifteen minutes remaining but the referee disallowed it for knocking the ball out of the goalkeepers hands. The final ten minutes saw Tom O run it to the box, only to see his shot come back off the bar from 10 yards out. Nobody was there to tap it in as it dropped into the six yard box.

In the final minute Heavitree sealed the 3 points when Josh got dispossessed just inside the City half and their striker ran through to tuck it past Joey and into the corner.

A 2-0 defeat which leaves City one place off the bottom.

Thanks to Joey for going in goal.
