Only goal difference separated the teams at the start of the day, but Roman Glass were good value for the win after dominating the second half.

A scuffed shot from Keith Kearney gave Roman Glass a 10th-minute lead, but Droitwich equalised before the break through Ben Tilbury’s spot-kick.

Nathan Hall put Roman Glass in front on 51 minutes with a shot which went in off the post, and Laurent Wilson sealed the win with a 74th-minute strike.

There was an amazing finish at Cossham Street where Cribbs took the three points against Mangotsfield United with a remarkable flurry of late goals.

An own goal gave Mangotsfield the lead on 57 minutes, and when George Neill made it 2-0 on 79 minutes, it looked like the hosts were heading for victory.

However, Buster Reed charged down a clearance to pull a goal back on 86 minutes. Reed headed home an equaliser on 90 minutes, and Joe Davis struck a few minutes later to give Cribbs the most dramatic of wins.
