RCA took the lead after ten minutes when Kieran Stokoe sent in a corner that was headed home by Lee Andrews.

A very lively start by the visitors saw chances created twice for midfielder Ryan Mather who was unlucky with a shot from the edge of the box and header minutes later.

Willington responded with a through ball that split the RCA defence and number 10 John Dixon raced on to round the keeper and slot in the equaliser. Half Time 1-1.

The second half saw a faster tempo from RCA and the lead was restored when Mather split the defence finding James Alston who raced into the box and fired a cross shot that the defender could only help into the net.

Nathaniel Crinson was introduced into the fray and this had immediate effect when he raced down the left and after beating the last defender his cross shot was parried by the keeper and Lee Andews made no mistake with the follow up.

The move of the game was a joy to watch on 85 minutes when seven different RCA players touched the ball before Deary overlapping on the left played a first time ball to the feet of Andrews and he raced on to slot home for his hat trick.

A good away win and two wins out of two - the season is up and running.
