MGBSFL DIVISION ONE
ATHLETIC BILBAUM 3 SPEC FC 2
SPEC FC gave their fans some much-needed cheer, with three vital points against Athletic Bilbaum, with a penalty from James Lesner sealing the points.
Dan Pike also found the net in a crucial victory that managers Michael Rhodes and Ricky Lawrence will finally get their season up-and-running.
Julius Judah and a wonder goal from Jacob Brunner accounted for the Bilbaum goals.
SPEC FC joint-manager Ricky Lawrence told JC Sport: "It was a close game but I genuinely think it was the fair result, or at least a game we didn't deserve to lose.
"We went 2-0 down after about five minutes but we then settled into the game and did brilliantly to get three goals in the last 20 minutes to win the game."
Baums joint-manager Julius Judah told JC Sport: "It was a disappointing morning for Athletic Bilbaum. SPEC had hardly any shots thanks to our fantastic defence and it took an own goal and a penalty to get them back into the game.
"It was sad to see Spec resort to spending the last 10 minutes shielding the ball by the corner flags but at the end of the day, it paid off.
