Overview
- Cheltenham won 2-0 at home to Halifax on Saturday, with Jake Evans scoring in the 16th minute and George Miller heading in a Charlie McCann corner three minutes into added time.
- Evans and Kirsten Otchere are on loan from Leicester City, with Otchere creating chances and setting up Evans’s goal while Evans added to a productive run this season.
- Halifax had a spirited display and thought they had equalised through Conor Carty in the 63rd minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside.
- Manager Steve Cotterill praised his loan players’ development after the match, and Halifax boss John McGrath said he was proud of his side’s performance against higher‑league opposition.
- The win sends League Two Cheltenham into the FA Cup second round and keeps them on track domestically, with the club also receiving the first‑round prize money and a League Two trip to Exeter next Saturday.
