Olly Griffiths' strike immediately after the interval pulled one back for the home side, only for Rice to score again with a looping header. Griffiths scored his second of the match direct from a free-kick for Almonds to set up an exciting finale, but a stout performance from the Keynsham back four, led by Louis Sealey, secured them the points.
