| Match Report |
|
Harriers and Cheltenham shared six goals in a re-arranged Youth
Alliance Cup tie which leaves Cheltenham in a strong position to
progress from the group stage.
The Robins shocked Harriers after just 3 minutes when Luke Corbett lobbed Andy Hemmings from well outside the penalty area to open the scoring. This was not, however, the first scoring chance of the game as Tim Jackson had already volleyed into the side netting at the other end. Harriers were soon level, Matt Lewis cut in on the right and shot low but his effort was saved, Cheltenham failed to clear properly and the ball fell to Jackson on the edge of the area who hooked it into the top corner. The game continued to ebb and flow and Cheltenham regained the lead when the referee surprisingly awarded a penalty after Corbett had been tackled by Khela as he ran towards Hemmings. Willetts stepped forward to take the penalty and cheekily chipped it in. Harriers drew level again before the interval with a neatly taken goal by Jon Jenkinson who tucked his shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area. After the break Harriers began to dominate the game and created a string of chances which were wasted. Lewis was twice denied by Dan Edwards in the visitors's goal, but it was Cheltenham who scored next. Ian Langstone crossed low from the left and Corbett stole in unmarked at the far post to roll the ball in. Matt Reeves soon brought Harriers level for a third time with his seventh goal of the season, although his weakkly hit shot only just made it to the net before a defender could clear it off the line. Harriers had the best chances to go on and win the game with several falling to substitute Richard Bailey that he was unable to convert, and they had to settle for the draw. |
