Rylands Reserves 3 Eagle Sports Reserves 2
A HAT-TRICK from Rylands’ leading scorer Mike Sullivan finally shook off Eagle Sports in the Cheshire League Reserve Division.
Eagle had fought back from being two goals adrift at half time, Danny Reid planting a shot past Matt Latham and Gareth Williams stroking home a penalty.
Both teams went in search of a winner and it was with five minutes to go that Rylands delivered A great pass from Emery allowed Sullivan to beat the offside trap and he rounded oncoming keeper McCoy before rolling the ball into the empty net.
Rylands manager Mark Pye said: “We had to dig deep at times, especially during the second half, but we showed a lot of character and team spirit to go on and win it in the dying stages."
Rylands: Latham, Rushton, Ajayi, Shepherd, Morley, N. Jordan, Matthews, Emery, Mather, Mannion (Edwards), Sullivan.
Eagle: McCoy, Robinson, Heywood, G Williams, Gibson, Maher, Parker, Thomas, Muttock, Clark, Williams. Subs: Fletcher, Hall, Reid.
