Reserves held at home

Heys returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a 5-0 win at Elton Vale this afternoon.

After the disappointing start to the season this was much more like it from Heys, Fast, incisive football was matched by hard work and determination to over power their local rivals.

Heys were impressive throughout, defending from front to back and scoring some quality goals. In the process, they overcame the dismissal of Chris Denham in the 64th minute and went onto add three more goals to the 2-0 lead they held at the time.

From the kick off there was a greater edge to Heys play and they took the lead in the 13th minute courtesy of a great individual goal by Ryan McGreevy (pictured), who broke from midfield to surge through the heart of the home defence and hammer home.

With the home attack blunted by resolute defence, Heys held the upperhand but had to wait until the 53rd minute to add to their lead when Jon Lyons floated home a superb free kick.

When Denham saw red , the game still hung in the balance but Heys rallied to a man to totally over run their hosts.

A sublime finish from Erike Sousa made it 3-0 in the 72nd minute before Danny Eyres rounded the 'keeper to add a fourth in the 82nd minute.

The rout was completed in the 86th minute from the penalty spot - George Powell scoring after Darius Photiou has been upended.

The win lifts Heys back into mid table but more significantly will have boosted confidence and morale ahead of next weeks trip to league leaders Wythenshawe Amateurs.
