Match Report

Solihull Moors 0-1 Forest Green

September 7th 2024Rhys Anderson

Forest Green Rovers claimed all three points in their visit to the Cure Leukaemia Stadium in a 1-0 win against Solihull Moors.

With the win, Rovers moved into third place in the Vanarama National League; Rochdale will have the chance to replace them in the evening kick-off.

The only goal of the game came three minutes after half-time through Teddy Jenks when Liam Sercombe played Jenks through with a ball that cut open the opposition's defensive line. 

The midfielder-turned-winger made no mistake with a difficult finish from the edge of the box into the bottom right corner, past Laurie Walker in the Solihull Moors goal.

Impressively, Jed Ward kept the clean sheet with another penalty save to add to his previous save against Boston United as he dove magnificently to his right, got both hands on the shot and pushed it clear of danger.

In other good news, a very warm welcome to Joe Quigley who came on to make his debut for the club as he entered the pitch in the 66th minute and got half an hour under his belt.
