Heys five match winning run in the League came to an end at Nelson this afternoon.

The damage was done in the first half. Although Heys had some promising moments, they struggled to get to grips with the experienced front line of the hosts. Will Dent gave Nelson in the lead in the 18th minute before Luke Hepple added a second nine minutes.

Sefton Gonzales scored the home sides third in the 37th minute to leave Heys facing an uphill task.

Manager Ryan Hutchinson rang the changes in the second half and Heys did stem the tide and threatened a late comeback. Ellis Richardson pulled one back in the 81st minute and two minutes later Lewis Ayres made it 3-2.

However, it wasn't to be as Nelson ran out, ultimately, deserved winners.
