Ledbury Town moved up into second-place in the West Midland premier division table with a 2-0 victory at Gornal on Saturday.

GORNAL ATHLETIC 0, LEDBURY TOWN 2

With several first-choice players missing, Ledbury were still in control from the start and took the lead after the impressive Stuart Smith had been brought down in the penalty box.

Ace marksman Robbie Colwell converted the spot kick for his 14th goal of the season.

After the break, Ledbury still pressed forward and Lee Hooper saw his header hit the net, only to have the effort ruled out for offside.

Ledbury goalkeeper Humphries was called on to make a couple of saves but it was the visitors who extended their lead when Smith ran through the home defence to score.

Ledbury were reduced to 10-men when man-of-the-match Stuart Smith was sent off for dissent, but they comfortably held on for the points.
