A confident Wiltshire Football Academy squad proved to be too strong for Gloucester City Yellow on the the 3G pitch at the Gerard Buxton Sports ground. 

Strong, clear defensive organisation and distribution from centre backs Harry Messenger and Charlie Carroll provided the foundation for multiple incisive attacks for WFA in the first half that provided inviting opportunities for the strikers; Troy Russell took full advantage with a series of cool finishes. Matty Dixon and Keon Adjei used their pace and skill to make frequent incursions down the wings, providing excellent service as the goal tally mounted, and Noah Cranswick-Coates, Harley Kearns and Gabriel Reivers pulled the strings impressively in midfield. In the second half, Rhys Simpkins used his skill and determination to dominate the goal scoring. To their credit, Gloucester City continued to battle impressively without quite being able to keep possession long enough to create chances. Many thanks to the excellent 16 year old referee who managed the game with calm authority.
