Harry

A goal for Clanfield's Reuben Harry was all that separated the two sides who, after two postponements, met at the third time of asking at Radcot Road.

Southam, playing their first match for two weeks, were looking to get back on the winning trail following their 5-0 defeat at Shortwood United, but were up against an inform Clanfield side that had consolidated their fourth place in the division with a 3-2 away win at Long Crendon on Saturday.

Shane Osborne and Adam Neale made their 50th appearances for Southam and both were in the thick of the action as Osborne went close from a free kick at the start of the second half, and Neale made a goal line clearance to keep the score at 1-0 after Harry had given the home side the lead.

After a run of five consecutive matches on the road, Southam are at home on Saturday when they will be looking to complete a league double over Newent Town, who they beat 3-2 on a frosty Gloucestershire night in December.

Kick off at Bobby Hancocks Park is 3:00pm.

At the time of writing, Southam are scheduled to face Kenilworth Sporting in a Coventry Telegraph Cup semi-final next Tuesday, but are also down to play the away league match at Long Crendon postponed from 28th February. Discussions are ongoing with the respective bodies.

Attendance: 65

Southam United: Jacob Rabone, Ryan Harris, Callum Stewart, Adam Neale, Craig Watkin, Andy Yeates, Bradley Goddard, Ellis Champkins, Shane Osborne, Ethan Champkins, Joshua Dixon
