Northern Premier League West Division
Sporting Khalsa 1 Avro 2
The early minutes were pretty even with no sign the visitors were such high-flyers and Khalsa rammed home this point when taking the lead in the tenth minute via Tilt who, it has to be said, could hardly miss from a wonderfully floated cross from the right from Landell. Scoring opportunities were at a premium but Avro always looked the more dangerous when they did manage to breach Khalsas' rearguard but the hosts seemed to deal fairly comfortably with most of their efforts.That changed just before the break when the visitors rattled the hosts bar on 40 minutes and just before the whistle Salt was Johnny-on -the-spot to tap home the equaliser.
It seemed harsh words were dispatched in the away dressing-room at half-time as Avro upped their game considerably and Khalsa were under the cosh.The feeling was something had to give for the visitors and it duly arrived on 87 minutes when Hawley rifled a cross-shot from the left into the right-hand corner. It was no more than they deserved for their enterprising second-half efforts. Khalsa did come close to a leveller but it was not to be. A torrential downpour in the final 10 minutes added to the spectacle.
This was a brilliant game to watch with fine performances from both sides ; Khalsa did nothing wrong but they were up against a very good side on the day and this result pushed Avro up to third in the table.
