182 fans flocked into Kingy’s on Tuesday night and were treated to an emphatic 3-0 win for Droitwich against promotion rivals Cirencester.

It was the visitors who had the earliest chance, however, with Rhys Wells in an offside position the linesman's flag denied him in the 5th minute.

Wells threatened again two minutes later, but was denied by the legs of Joe Stockton.

In the 15th minute, there were calls for a red for Droitwich 'keeper Stockton, who brought Harlie Price down - but he escaped with just a yellow.

It took until the 17th minute for Spa to have their first meaningful chance as Dugmore’s cross was headed away, but this momentum obviously stuck, as against the run of play in the 18th minute, Perry Moss capitalised from close range to put Spa in front.
Soon after, Ben Tilbury suffered an injury and had to be replaced by Matt Jackson.

In the 23rd minute, James Lemon grabbed his 9th goal of the season to make the game 2-0 after a scuffle in the box, and the rest of the half was relatively end to end, with a Harlie Price chance in the 34th minute, and a James Lemon header in the 42nd minute, however the first half closed at 2-0 to the home side.

The second period began relatively quiet, yet the first bit of notable action in the 55th minute ended up in another goal for the Saltmen, as Lemon bagged his 2nd of the night and 10th of the season after another close quarters scrap in the box, making the game 3-0.

Cirencester fought back strongly, with a strike from Aidan Bennett being blocked well in the 68th minute.
He returned again in the 80th minute, but fired his attempt went wide.

George Peare had Town’s best chance of the game in the 90th minute - but sent his shot straight at Stockton and the game ended 3-0, pushing the Saltmen up to 3rd place on the back of their 11th clean sheet of the season.

Spa are back in action at Kingys on Saturday against Highworth Town (ko 3pm), and then again on Tuesday night against Lydney Town (ko 7:45pm).
