In-form Malmesbury Victoria continued their strong push for promotion with a 1-0 win at Lydney Town.

Matty Dale's over-head kick on the half-hour mark from Steve Buntin's cross settled the match.

Malmesbury came under intense pressure after the break but they defended manfully to secure another three points in the Hellenic League Division One West.

Vics manager Lee Marshall said: "Matty didn't quite leave the floor but he hooked the ball over his head so he will claim it was an over-head kick.

"We played well in the first half. In the second half they put pressure on us but we hung on well to get the three points."
