Fry Club continued to press with accurate passing from Dancey and May - resulting in a blistering run from May down the right and a perfectly timed pass finding Benn Clapp who coolly slotted home.

2^nd Match

 

A storming start by the home side saw Ben Harper win the ball in midfield running on to slot the first goal home for Fry’s. The United keeper was kept busy with more shots from Harper and Kyle Morris. United tried in vain to penetrate Fry’s defence only for Jordan Finch to clear the ball up the field to Harper who netted for his 2^nd. United replied with a good run at goal by Tanzil Gibbons with his final ball being saved by keeper Jovi Belcher.  A good kick from goal saw Mitchell Thornton run down the left wing and cut in to neatly slot the ball home for Fry’s. The away side then put the ball back in the Fry Club goalmouth only for a Ben Harper clearance to end up in the back of the net for an own goal, 3-1.

 

The second half saw Fry Club attack the United goal with  Nathan Munford getting the 4^th for the home side. United rallied again with Tanzil Gibbons doing all the running, forcing substitute keeper Jovi Belcher to pull off a comfortable save.  Fry’s replied with a good run on the left from Mitchell Thornton setting up Ben Harper for the 5^th and his hat trick. Fry’s did not let up and wasted no time pushing forward with Kyle Morris taking on two or three United players to slot home for the 6^th. With Bristol united determined not to give up, a strong run through the middle of the field saw Tanzil Gibbons net the 2^nd for the away side. Fry Club responded with vengeance with 3 quick goals from Thornton, Harper and Morris respectively. United again came back strong but were met with some thundering tackles from defender Corey Reid.
