Cheltenham League, Premier Division
Generation Next 1 Winchcombe Town 3 (att 17)
My third and final game of a busy day's groundhopping was at the Oxstalls Sports Park in Gloucester, about 20 minutes drive from Tewkesbury.
It's an impressive venue, with various facilities including a 3G football pitch that's a home ground for Generation Next. Their home fixtures are regularly scheduled for 4.15pm.
These were two well matched teams who provided an entertaining game. Winchcombe Town, second in the league and presumably eyeing promotion back to the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League, had the edge thanks mainly to better finishing.
Two first half goals set them up for the win, although their lead always looked like it might be vulnerable if Generation Next could pull one back.
Eventually a third Winchcombe goal put them out of sight, although a late home goal kept things interesting up to the final whistle. Overall it was a good advert for Cheltenham League football, with both teams impressing.
