CINDERFORD T 1 BIGGLESWADE T 2

CINDERFORD started this game in positive fashion and Dan Clare’s powerful header was tipped over the bar by Michael Johnson.

Sammie Hicks then set up Callum McOnie whose shot was deflected wide.

Nick Nelmes went close from a Lewis Ellis corner and there were further opportunities for Hicks and Karnell Chambers as Cinderford dominated.

The home team failed to convert their chances into goals and were made to pay by a strong Biggleswade team.

On 33 minutes Rhys Hoenes ran through the Town defence and despite furious offside protests the linesman kept his flag down and the winger rounded Giles Cutlan to score.

Hicks and McOnie had opportunities to level before on 42 minutes Gavin Hoyte diverted a corner back across goal and Russell Short stabbed the ball home for the second.

Chambers could have collected a hat-trick in five minutes.

Firstly an effort was cleared off the line, a second was well blocked, and the third missed the target.

The impressive and imposing target man Inih Effong and Connor Hall went close to extending the visitors’ lead before Chambers finally struck with an ice-cool finish.

Ellis and Hayden Turner could have snatched a point for Cinderford late on, but failed to convert.
