Venue: Hillsborough.

Bristol travels to Sheffield trying to extend their perfect run of late.

Last Game:

Sheffield to a bit surprising win before the break. They visited Villa park and with a bit of luck took the points. Adam Reach absolutely stunned The Villans with a cracker just seconds into the game. Their job was made easier as Villa lost their captain John Terry and the replacement Chris Samba missed an interception for a second goal. From there on Sheffield limited their opponents chances and only concentration error allowed Villa to get a consolidation goal seconds before the end.

Bristol continued to impress. This time their victim became Cardiff. Cardiff is one of the strongest teams in the division and beating them proves a point. Bristol opened the score as Dowda found the net after 20 minutes. Cardiff equalized before half time. Later their goalscorer Bogle saw the red and Bristol didn’t wait long. Flint scored second and the team proceeded to limit the opposition chances to claim the 3 points.
