White and Bellamy on the mark

Heys shared the spoils in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Trafford at Adie Moran Park.

In the final analysis a draw was probably a fair result as both sides enjoyed some good spells although Heys may feel disappointment at letting a two goal lead slip.

However, overall there was a lot of positives for Heys to take. They looked solid defensively, particularly in the early stages when Trafford set the pace.

Going forward Heys played some great football and there were moments of promise from new strikers Haydn Foulds and Robson Brown.

Indeed, the latter played a part in Heys opener with some quick feet in the box drawing a foul that resulted in a penalty from which Danny White opened the scoring in the 23rd minute.

It stayed that way until half time and it was Heys who came out strong at the start of the second half.

Within ten minutes they had increased their lead. As Trafford struggled to clear a corner Adrian Bellamy showed composure to control the ball and steer home.

Within two minutes, Trafford pulled one back from a superbly struck free kick that nestled in the top corner.

However, Heys almost restored their two goal advantage when the lively Foulds tried an audacious chip over the keeper that hit the inside of the post before rebounding back into play.

With both teams ringing the changes the game became more open with opportunities at both ends.

Ten minutes from time Trafford levelled. A ball floated down the middle stretched Heys but as their keeper ran out of his box he failed to clear the ball giving the visitors an open goal in which to slot home.

The game ended honours even although Heys will be greatly encouraged by their overall display against a side from two divisions higher.
