Slimbridge's only ever victory against Larkhall in their previous 18 games came at Thornhill Park back in April 2018, so this was a massive hoodoo being broken. 

The Swans made a slow start, and former Swan Ryan Beckinsale put the hosts ahead with 11 minutes on the clock, finishing when unmarked as a Larks' corner came into the Slimbridge box. 

The lead lasted until 29 minutes, when Olly Sully broke a couple of tackles, and slipped a lovely ball into Casey Collins, who dinked the ball over Larks' Keeper Liam Armstrong to level things up. 

In first half stoppage time, the visitors took the lead - a ball in the Larkhall box wasn't cleared and eventually fell to Leighton Blacker, who drilled it past Armstrong to put the Swans ahead at the break. 

The second half developed into a bit of a stalemate, with Swans Keeper Sam Hart making some good stops to deny the hosts, but Slimbridge clinched it in the second minute of what was six minutes additional time at the end of the game - Kieran Moore's cross into the Larks' box was met by Collins who volleyed home what must surely be a contender for strike of the season come next May. 

The result sees Slimbridge move up to 19th position in the Southern League South, with another massive game against 18th placed Melksham Town at Thornhill Park on Saturday (3.00pm)
