The Ks won a pulsating derby clash 2-1 at home to Oldland Abbotonians last Saturday, recording their 6th win on the bounce in front of a crowd of 135.

The hosts took the lead on 6 minutes, with Ben Harris firing home a free-kick from the edge of the box. However they were caught on the break 2 minutes later and after a couple of last ditch clearances, Rendell forced the ball home.

The derby between 4th and 5th lived up to its pre match billing, with feisty challenges and chances aplenty at both ends. However, the sides went in one apiece at the break.

The second half was again end to end, but the decisive moment came on the hour. After a flowing move down the right, the ball found midfielder Sam Duggan 30 yards from goal; he looked up and curled a fantastic strike into the top corner, giving the Oldland custodian no chance. There were plenty of scares for the Ks in the closing minutes, but we hung on to claim 3 more precious points in our promotion battle.

The win moves Keynsham up to 3rd place in the league.
