Back in action in the Cricklade cup this Saturday as Minety find themselves up against a team 2 leagues higher.


Quedgeley are a well organised team and looked the part for the first ten mins as they dominated play. Minety soon found there feet as the midfield dynamo of Bobby, Lew and Adam started to play with the confidence we know they're capable of. This soon resulted in chances with the Minety Strikers having chance after chance and could of easily found themselves 2 up in the 25th minute. Not long before half time the ever lively Shakey found himself in the box to drive a shot into the corner to take the Geese into halftime 1 up.

The only negative the experienced Topping off with his usual ankle issues replaced by lidds.

2nd half was a more even match as Quedgeley scraped hard to make a game of it, equalizing after some neat play with 20 to go. This seemed to galvanize Minety especially MOM winger Jethro who picked the ball up on the left, cut in on his right and drove home an 18 yard peach into the corner to win the game.

Minety currently sit top of the league with a game to play.

Best of luck to Quedgeley, great lads and a decent team.

​Football has finally returned to Minety after months of lockdown, local club Cricklade hosting a cup competition packed full of decent teams. 
Minety V Siddy used to be a regular fixture back in the Ciren league days and it was great to host our local rivals again. 
Minety started strongly, passing and moving the ball around as if they never stopped playing. Shakey with one of his trademark crossed found King with a pin point header after 5 mins. 
This set the tone, and within 25 mins MInety found themselves 3-0 up with some classy finishes from the Pike and Harper duo up top. 
The last 10 mins of the half got a bit scrappy and to be fair to Siddy they battled hard to make a game if it. Mistake at the back resulted in a classy finish chip over the Minety keeper to make it 3 -1 at the break.
Sensing lack of fitness and a few niggles subs where brought on to freshen it up. This pushed Minety on, wingers causing all sorts of issues with instructions to take players on. Shakey and Jethro 2 stand out performers. 
Lovely football on show played in the right manner from both teams. Minetys fitness and fresh legs stepped up a gear and towards the end of the game dominated possession. 
Good luck to Siddy we wish them all the best.
