Road to Wembley - Mangos smoothie through

Mangotsfield United eased their way into the third qualifying round and an away tie at Truro City after a comfortable win at Cossham Street. NEIL ARNDALE sent Mangotsfield on their way with a second minute opener with the lead being doubled though DAN SPILL on seventeen minutes. The visitors who were to offer very little were reduced to ten men with thirteen minutes of the first half remaining. Any hopes Gillingham had of staging an unlikely second half comeback diminished when MIKE TROUGHT added a third for Mangotsfield on sixty one minutes. Gillingham finished the match with nine men after a second sending off on seventy two minutes.

Mangotsfield: Court, Arndale, Smith, Pilling, Trought, Scott, Tooze (O'Connor), Bater, Page (Prosser), Knighton (Wood), Spill.
Subs not used: Bennett, Knapman, Allwood
Attendance: 263

The game at Truro, who beat Bridport 7-0 away from home in the 2nd Round Qualifier this week, will be next Saturday. The Mangos are running a coach if you are interested....
