Cinderford dominated the start of this game and had several shots from range without really troubling Rob Brown in the Frome goal.
Frome’s first attack didn’t come until the 18th minute with only one or two more opportunities before the half drew to somewhat lucky 0-0 end, with the hosts having the majority of the possession and chances.
Danny Greaves made changes at half time with Cottle and Hailston coming off for Mannings and Lenihan. Frome started much more brightly with a different formation and took the game to their hosts.
On 58 minutes a Smith effort was well saved. Davies followed up to score 1-0 and got his second on 65 minutes at the 3rd attempt after 2 shots were blocked.
Mannings had a shot blocked on the line before Cinderford pulled one back in the 81st. Mannings again was just wide from the corner area and the keeper was brought down.
No penalty was given and he recovered to feed Davies on the edge of the area for his hat trick. Martin Lenihan rounded it off in injury time when he carried the ball half the length of the pitch to score Frome’s 4th.
