| Gadeside Rangers returned to winning ways with a workmanlike performance against a spirited Colne Valley side. Goals from Tom Mitchell, Adam Hills and Tariq Khan ensured Gadeside put last week's disappointing draw against North Bushey behind them. |
| Gadeside enjoyed the better of the first half but found the Valley defence a tough nut to crack. Adam Hills shot wide when well placed while Tom Mitchell saw a header crash against the crossbar from a Mani corner meaning the sides went in goalless at half-time. |
| The deadlock was finally broken on the hour as Tom Mitchell, who had just hit the bar again finally grabbed the goal he deserved. From another Mani corner, his original header hit the bar (again!) but he was first to react as he lashed the ball into the roof of the net. However the lead last only a few minutes as Valley hit back with a cracking strike from 20 yards. |
| As the game wore on Gadeside became totally dominant and regained the lead on 78 minutes. Jason Brownhill's cross found Adam Hills who turned before firing across the goal. A Colne Valley defender tried to clear but only succeeded in helping the ball on its way in. |
| The game was sealed in the final few minutes in comical fashion. Daniel Brooks fed Tariq Khan who chased the ball through. The Valley keeper and a defender left the ball for each other allowing Khan the easiest of finishes to secure another 3 points for Gadeside. |
