Orford St Stephens 2 Sporting Widnes 4

10 man Swids topple Orford...

Sporting returned to business as usual with a good win over Orford yesterday.

What was more impressive they pulled the victory back from 1-0 down and skipper Liam Tilston seeing red inside 20 minutes.

Right back Mike Fielding notched the equaliser with a diving header to make it 1-1.

Sporting took the lead with an excellent team goal to make it 2-1, but we let Orford counter and pull it back to 2-2.

Swids leg man Gaz Kenny put us 3-2 with a bullet header from a Peter Fielding ball in. Not long after we put the game to bed with a neat one on one, making it 4-2 to rap the result up.

Orfords striker who dove for their first half penalty admitted that he tripped over his own ankle and the skipper should not have been dismissed.
