Match Report

Rogues run amok in final quarter

On a warm, spring morning with the sun beaming down we welcomed Sutton to Silsden. The game was a closer encounter than the score line suggests as for three quarters the less experienced Knights did brilliantly against a good Sutton side who have being playing their football in 7E division. It was only in the final quarter where the tired Knights were struggling did Sutton capitalise doubling their tally scoring with five goals without conceding. The players should take a lot of positives away from this performance as they each did the best they could against an experienced opposition.
