Victory at Euxton takes Heys into last 16

An 83rd minute Jamie Baguley strike sealed an impressive win for Heys at Euxton Villa in the Lancashire Shield today.

The victory over the West Lancashire League side takes Jon Lyons team into the last 16 of the competition whilst maintaining their unbeaten start to the season.

They had to work hard for the win against a strong Euxton side in a game that seemed to be heading for a goalless draw.

Although both sides had their moments the deadlock didn't look like be broken until Heys opened the scoring in the 77th minute to spark a sequence of three goals in six minutes.

Heys held the upper hand in the 1st half on the back of some sparkling football and will reflect they should have led at the interval.

The hosts upped the ante in the second period to enjoy the better of the opening twenty minutes and give Heys some anxious moments.

However, in the 77th minute Heys responded by taking the lead when after a Max White free kick came off the bar , Lee Bruce followed up to bundle the ball home.

Two minutes later though the hosts were level with a super finish by Ash Ball.

Not to be outdone though, Baguley responded in kind with a clinical low strike from 20 yards in the 83rd minute that gave Heys their win.

Full report to follow.
