Loan Watch: Saturday 15th February 2025

Cross on target and Evans player of the match.

With the Bluebirds grabbing an impressive victory in the capital against Hampton & Richmond, lets take a look at our loaned out players and how they faired this weekend.

Jake Evans was voted as Gloucester City Player of the Match as they ran out a 5-0 victory over Winchester City. The win cements Gloucester in 3^rd place in the table and looking up, with just nine points separating them and top of the table Merthyr Town.

Pele would play 20 minutes of Basingstoke’s 2-0 defeat to Hungerford Town, with Lewis Colwell missing out through illness. Colwell has started back to back games, and Pele has been a regular appearance maker following their moves in January.

For Frome, Rex Mannings played 77 minutes of a 1-1 draw with playoff-chasing Walton & Hersham. Frome now sit four points from safety with games in hand on the teams around them.

Bevan Cross played the full 90 minutes, and netted the opener, as Westbury they drew with Didcot Town in the Southern League Division 1. Former Bluebirds striker Dan Warre scored a late equaliser for Didcot, as it finished 2-2.

Jake Hicks started in Larkhall’s late defeat to Melksham Town. Larkhall are four points clear from safety, but just three points away from Westbury who sit in 12th

Elsewhere in Step 4, Mal Nicholls’ Cribbs had their match with Bideford postponed due to adverse weather. Cribbs stay 10 points from safety.

In Step 5, Alex Avenell’s trip to Fairford with Malmsbury Victory was also called off. Malmsbury sit bottom of the table and nine points from safety, having played just 22 matches across the campaign so far with Brimscombe & Thrupp , sat a place higher, having played 33.
