TONY COHEN CUP SEMI-FINAL
REICH INSURANCE RANGERS 3 MANCHESTER MACCABI YELLOW 3

Nathan Pitt's hat-trick ensured the Tony Cohen Cup semi-final between Manchester Maccabi Yellow and Reich Insurance Rangers was left evenly poised.

Both teams defied the poor conditions to play out a six-goal thriller during the first-leg tie.

Pitt was the star of the show for Manchester Maccabi Yellow, scoring two penalties before completing his treble as honours were shared.

But in a see-saw game, Reich Insurance Rangers refused to give in with Shay Halpen, Jordan Gold and Andy Shaffer all scoring.

Reich’s director of football Michael Gaswirth believes the last-four clash could go down to the wire.

He said: "It's going to be a tight game when we play against them again. It could go to extra time. They are an improved side.

"But we have enough quality in our ranks to progress."
