Reds' revel in the Cinder Lane sunshine

FAIRFORD Town wrapped up an impressive weekend with a 7-0 home win over Letcombe on Bank Holiday Monday.

The Reds, who won 6-1 at Shortwood United Reserves on Saturday, showed no signs of letting up with a dominant display on a sun soaked afternoon at Cinder Lane.

There were six different goalscorers in a side that showed just one change from Saturday, with Danny Hale replaced by Josh Morse in the frontline.

It was a frantic start as Jason Milhench opened the scoring with a well taken finish before Nathan Blackford opened his account for the campaign with a well-taken free-kick.

Fairford kept up the pressure and could have added to the scoreline, but had to wait until the stroke of half-time for the third – but it was worth the wait. A loose ball was met by Dan Drewett on the edge of the box and his first time right foot volley struck the post and in for a 3-0 half-time lead.

Milhench volleyed home his second just after the hour with the Reds enjoying plenty of possession and carving out chances a plenty. When a free-kick from Jack Ellis cannoned back off the crossbar, Scott Chilcott was on hand to head home the fifth goal of the day with 79 minutes on the clock.

Ellis then got his name on the scoresheet with a low drive for the sixth, with substitute Chris Jackson rolling home the seventh in off the post on the stroke of full-time.

There is no game on Saturday as the Highworth cup game postponed due to the Worthians’ FA Cup involvement, with the next action at Abingdon United in the cup on Tuesday 6th September.
