Williams on target to fire City U18s to FA Youth Cup win

A Harry Williams goal 14 minutes from time saw Bath City U18s beat Portishead Town this evening at Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park to progress to the FA Youth Cup 2nd Qualifying Round. Williams – who made his first team debut two days earlier in the Francis Hillier Premier Cup win over Wincanton Town – rode several challenges in the box before his left-foot shot appeared to deceive keeper Peacy and find the net via a post. It was no less than City deserved though after they dominated the first half but lacked the killer instinct in front of goal. After a more even opening to the second period they began to gain the upper hand again and finally broke the deadlock through Williams’ strike. They could have extended their advantage after this but the single goal turned out to be enough to beat the Possets and secure a place in the next round.
