Sunderland Sunday League

Sunday, 7 February 2010

RCA The Barnes eventually won their encounter with table topping Silksworth Paragon, coming out 4-0 victors after a very entertaining match at Meadow Park on Sunday, to go third in the league with games in hand.

Paragon opened strongly and attacked for the first 15 minutes with RCA keeper Neal Atkinson making a superb double save early on to keep RCA in the game. RCA then began to get their act together and the game swung from end to end with some great passing from both sides. The breakthrough, however, came when man of the match, 17 year old midfielder, Jonathan Davis played a superb cross field 40 yard pass over the Paragon right backs head for RCA wing back Martin Metcalfe to run onto, calmly chest down in his stride and go on to confidently slip the ball under the Paragon's keeper to give RCA the lead after 30 minutes.
