Ledbury Town Football Club

Match report

Ledbury Town Reserves drop a place to eleventh in Division One of the Herefordshire League to end the year following a narrow 3-2 loss recorded against Hereford Pegasus Colts at Old School Lane this week, with Callum Blackmore-Davey and Brad Potter finding the goals for David Butcher and Nick Blakeway’s side as captain Nick Bolton was named their man of the match.

Despite the defeat, which saw Pegasus clinch the win in the final three minutes, Butcher was satisfied with his squad’s performance, commenting: “I couldn’t really fault the lads’ performance; they battled hard from start to finish.”

“They deserved more from the game, reacting well to going behind and coming back twice. It was quite hard to take seeing all their hard work being undone in the last three minutes of the game, but that’s football.”

“I am sure we will kick on and pick up more points after the Christmas break.”

The reserves, along with Ledbury’s first team and Ledbury Town Swifts, are now awaiting their opening fixtures of the new year to be announced, with the Herefordshire League looking set to resume on Saturday 8^thJanuary following the festive break.
