Gillingham 1 Notts County 0 - League 2 match report from Priestfield Stadium

Gillingham’s impressive start to the season continued with a fourth straight home win.

Josh Andrews headed the Gills in front early on in the second half, and that was enough to claim a third 1-0 home success so far this season, while maintaining their 100% league record at Priestfield.

The Gills had several nearly moments in the opening half, one which finished without either side managing to register an attempt on goal.

Gillingham’s first big chance came when Jonny Smith’s low cross was just missed by Nevitt. The pair almost combined again soon after as the newcomer attempted to find the head of the striker.
