DANNY INFLICTS PAYNE ON YAXLEY

- By David Senior By Chris Hughes

WELWYN GARDEN CITY 3 YAXLEY 2

INJURY-TIME strikes from Kaan Fehmi and Danny Payne gave Welwyn Garden City a dramatic win over Yaxley.

The visitors went ahead through Ollie Sutton, who struck within the first five minutes, before Payne bagged the first of his goals in first-half injurytime to level. Tom Waumsley restored Yaxley’s advantage midway through the second half, giving the visitors over 30 minutes to hold out. And a stout defensive rearguard was finally breached as Fehmi’s effort levelled proceeding­s after the clock ticked into added time.

Skipper Payne broke Yaxley hearts with just seconds to spare as he made it 3-2 to steal victory for the home side. STAR MAN: Danny Payne (Welwyn) ENTERTAINM­ENT: ★★★★★

PONTEFRACT COLLIERIES 2 STOCKSBRID­GE PARK ST 0

AN ELI Hey thunderbol­t helped Pontefract Collieries secure a convincing victory over Stocksbrid­ge Park Steels in a game they could easily have won by three or four goals.

Pontefract got off to the perfect start when Michael Dunn finished off a superb flowing move on five minutes by dinking the ball over Jordan Greaves in the Stocksbrid­ge goal. Dunn came close to a second midway through the first half, only for his glancing header to go inches wide.

Hey had a goal ruled out for offside after the break and nodded a glaring opportunit­y over the bar but got his rewards on 80 minutes by hammering in a strike that left Greaves with no chance. STAR MAN: Eli Hey (Pontefract) ENTERTAINM­ENT: ★★★★★
