MJSL JOAN COLLINS PREMIER DIVISION

MACCABI MANCHESTER BLUE 2

REICH INSURANCE RANGERS BLUE 1

Reich led via Rafi Leeker before Ben Gould and Joey Castle struck for Jonny Rose’s men who showed great maturity to hold on to their lead until the end.

Ten-goal top-soccer Adam Wilson’s red card made it a day to forget for Stuart Delmonte’s men against their youthful opposition.

Rose said: “We know we can beat any team on our day and we felt we owed Reich after against them late on earlier in the season. This victory was the result of two years’ worth of progress.

“We played them off the park in the first half and showed very good discipline in the second. Sixteen-year-old Sam Green was absolutely sensational.”
