Bristol Under-18 Combination: Ryan McKean snatched all three points with a late goal for Mangotsfield United in a 2-1 Division I victory at Roman Glass, despite his team having been reduced to 10 men after 20 minutes.

Midfielder Jordan Pocock was red-carded following a late tackle on Glass captain Tom Ferris.

Sam Golding fired Field in front before the break only for the lively Selwyn Msakwa to level for Glass with a well-struck free-kick.

Mangotsfield remained dangerous going forward with the impressive Jack Veale, who had a great battle with the equally talented full-back Billy White, leading the charge.

With the clock ticking down, McKean edged Field in front following a quick break before Glass almost grabbed a last-minute equaliser through Jamie Appleton.

Highridge United fought back to clinch a convincing 6-2 victory over a Bristol Telephones side who took the lead through Nick Hunt.

Within five minutes, they were level when Kalum Carter laid the ball into the path of Luke Coggins, who fired into the bottom corner of the net.

Tommy Milkins played through Carter to run clear and make it 2-1 to Highridge on the half-hour mark and Coggins grabbed his second goal to give them a 3-1 interval advantage.

Highridge continued to push forward after the break and it wasn't long before Carter was on the scoresheet again.

And although Telephones pulled one back through Hunt, further goals from Eugene Keary and the hard- working Ben Morgan wrapped up the win.

In Division A, Sartan United maintained their winning streak and put six goals past their opposition for the third match in succession with a 6-0 thrashing of a St Vallier side who had been pushing for top spot.

Bradley Thomas (2), Jake Hill (2), Jack Hyman and Wesley Hawkins were their marksmen after Tom Harrington had fired Sartan in front within 25 seconds of the start.

Cheddar Albion suffered their second 2-1 home defeat in a row against bottom-of-the-tableHanham Athletic.

Hanham made the most of the two chances that came their way, taking the lead in an even first half when a free-kick was poorly defended, leaving Max Huntley to slot home past the helpless Ryan Bishop.

Albion gifted Hanham a deserved second goal shortly after the break when another mix-up let in Joe Bryer to score.

Albion had to wait until the 88th minute to gain their consolation through Matt Day, leaving them too little time to grab what would have been an undeserved point, despite the sterling efforts of their full-back Tom Coles and keeper Ryan Bishop.

High-flying Imperial Saints went a goal down inside the first 10 minutes against Frampton Rangers but fought back to win 2-1.

The goals came from Mitch Purnell, following a Connor Saunders cross, and Kartel Blair, who finished well after also being set up by Saunders.

Mitch Rimmer turned in a match-of-the-match display for Saints, while substitutes Sam Downs and Jack Luton also did well.

Two second-half goals from David Brown, who later went close to claiming his hat-trick by hitting a post with a raking volley, were enough to see Stoke Lane to a 2-1 victory over Ashton Boys, who had equalised through Jack Rawlins' fine solo effort.

In the Gloucestershire Division, St Nicholas ran out comfortable 5-1 winners in the derby clash with Olveston United, whose consolation goal came from a Sam Peplow penalty.
