PivotalGloucester City took control almost immediately, with Tom Owen-Evans breaking the deadlock inside the opening quarter of an hour before Harry Williams doubled the lead with a well-taken finish before the half-hour mark. Ashley Hemmings then converted from the spot right on the stroke of half-time to make it 0-3, effectively ending any hope of a Mangotsfield comeback before the interval whistle had even sounded. The second half was a far quieter affair by comparison, with Gloucester content to see out the tie until a fourth goal arrived in the 90th minute to complete the rout. For Mangotsfield, this is a bruising cup exit that offers little to build on, while Gloucester City's clinical first-half spell and squad depth suggest they'll be confident heading into their next fixture.
