Saturday, 08 September 2012

Eynesbury sprang a surprise with this Fernie Fields success as Rangers suffered their first defeat of the season.

James Freshwater maintained his record of scoring in every game with the 19th minute opener for Rovers, direct from a free kick awarded for a foul on Lee Bassett.

Both sides had chances in an even contest.

With twenty minutes to play Ben Cole doubled Eynesbury's advantage, heading in a Freshwater corner.

All Sileby could manage in reply was a 76th minute debut goal from Rob Foster, who lobbed keeper Andrew Wale after latching onto a through ball.

Kevin Slinn had a late chance to earn Sileby a point but headed wide from six yards.

Sileby: Jak Riley, Danny Marlow, Dean Lukeman, Tim Wooding, Michael Keall, Wayne Richardson, Michael Cirelli (Matthew Green), Mark Forbes, Rob Foster, Shaun Goodall (Kevin Slinn), David Glass.

Eynesbury: Andrew Wale, Dave Fisk (Shaun Flack), James Ducket, Rob Ducket, Darren Woodend, Tom Coles, Ben Colmer (Ross West), James Freshwater, Lee Bassett, Ben Cole (Gavin Batt), Jack Weeden.
