Allenton 4 - 1 Rialto Madrid

Another home game to make it 5 on the trot and our 3rd game in 7 days, Allenton faced a Rialto side that shared the spoils last time out with a late equaliser.

Sporting a slightly changed side, Allenton didnt have a great first half and although Thomas hit the bar and Mick forced an error at the back that hit the bar/post, the teams went in level and Allenton really needed to up their game.

The second half was a completely different affair, Allenton dominating proceedings, defending well and closing down space in the midfield. Thomas opened the scoring after a pull-back to the edge of the box for Mick and although Rialto equalised, Allenton continued to press.

The introduction of Ryan changed the shape and he scored a cracker in the far corner with the outside of his boot.

Andre then benefited from a slice of luck to see his effort scramble over the line after 2 attempted clearances.

Rialto tried to counter by deploying 3 in the middle, but at this stage Billy, Andrew and Andre were controlling all that was happening.

The icing on the cake was a goal for Mick to make it 4-1 and kill the game off completely, with the back four and Kevin keeping Rialto at bay in the late stages.

Another win to keep Allenton in the hunt for the title and with an away fixture to Cloncastle on Monday.
