A brilliant second half saw Church deservedly claim all three points this afternoon at Cougar Park on a challenging pitch. All 3 goals coming in the last half hour of the game. A penalty kick from Nathan Keightley got us underway followed by goals in the last ten minutes or so from Harry Viggars & Reece High. That’s 2 clean sheets in the last few days and 6 goals for.

Another close NCEL Premier Division encounter yesterday at the Simply Log Cabins Memorial Ground. Not much to choose between Church and Pickering from a footballing point of view by half time, but somehow Church were 2-0 down and facing a stern challenge to get back into the game.
