Andy Barcham celebrates getting on the
scoresheet against Peterborough
Gillingham comfortably saw their way past Peterborough at
Priestfield on Tuesday night.
Goals from Chris Palmer, Andy Barcham, Andrew
White and Luke Rooney sealed the win.
Gillingham bossed the first half and
Peterborough, who were playing a weakened side, only threatened
once with a header that went well wide by Carl Piergianni.
The Gills were looking lively in attack
and took the lead after 17 minutes when Barcham passed to
Palmer and he slotted home from outside the area.
Just two minutes later and the Gills doubled
the lead when Palmer turned provider with a corner and Barcham
headed home.
Palmer almost made it 3-0 halfway through the
half but keeper Steve Collis saved with his feet.
The third goal did come on 57 minutes when
White tucked away his first for the club.
Ben Wright pulled one back for the visitors
but the three goal advantage was restored when White’s cross was
converted by Rooney.
The Gills almost increased their lead when
trialist Serge Makofo controlled well before shooting from an acute
angle and hitting the post.
Gillingham (1st
half): Julian, Fuller, Nutter, J Payne, Gowling, Sinclair,
Weston, Palmer, S Payne, Oli, Barcham.
Gillingham (2nd
half): Cronin, Jackman, Sinclair, Bentley, Gowling (Essam
79mins), Maher, Rooney, Spiller, Makofo, White, Aborah. Sub not
