Match Time
34' McCardle sends a long pass down the left side. Forshaw out runs the defense to get to it. He has a breakaway but is tackled form behind by Elwell, the whistle blows and Ford has the red card out of his pocket. Clevedon is a man down.
Halftime: A fairly even match. We haven't played out of our head like we need to and I remind the players of that. Cassidy took an injury in the first half and is ready to come out so Eriksen subs on for him.
51' Clarke from the left corner sends it to far post. Douglin goes up for the header and sends it towards goal. It hits the crossbar and is cleared out.
57' Charlton in for McCardle
70' Clarke sends a centering cross to Evans. Evans with the volley.
GOAL! The shot surprised everyone. Clevedon goes up 1-0!
71' Byrne is subbed by Murray.
72' Evans beats Mullens, it looks like he tripped him but he gets around and is one on one with O'Connor and he wins. GOAL! Clevedon just set themselves up for the win, moving up 2-0.
85' Charlton is at the lower left by line and sends a centering cross to Murray. Murray chips it in past the keeper.
GOAL! Murray brings Odd Down within a score, 2-1!

Match Analysis
What an embarrassing performance. We were up a man and were schooled by this team. If anyone wants an example of how to win off of determination, this was it. I have nothing good to say about this. The loss dropped us to 3rd, Almondsbury didn't get the win, but we now have to win out and hope Almondsbury loses.
