CALLUM HITS VITAL WINNER

30/11/2019

Invicta grabbed a Super 5s lifeline at Newport today when Callum Bailey (Picture: Trevor Hyde) converted a penalty 25 seconds from the end to snatch a 13-12 victory over Cheltenham.

Defeat would have left Invicta, runners-up to Manchester in last season’s Super 5s, struggling to make the cut this time. Even now, there’s still no guarantee they will manage it. But this result is a huge boost before tomorrow’s final Division 1 game against Polytechnic.

The lead changed hands several times and Cheltenham, who had 42-year-old goalkeeper Mike Cowdell making a comeback in the absence of Sam Legge and Jack Simcox, levelled at 12-12 a minute and a half from the end when Adam Legge netted from a man-up chance. Sean King (4) and Jack Waller (3) led the Invicta scoring.

Lancaster and Sheffield, who meet tomorrow, both need points to clinch their Super 5s places.
​
Manchester waited until the third period to lead Lancaster for the first time but, with Andrea de Caro and Kai Dowling both notching hat-tricks, the champions went on to win 10-8. Later, Mancehster maintained a 100 per cent record from six matches by defeating Sheffield 14-11, including another four goals for de Caro.

Earlier, Joel Abbott scored five for Sheffield but his team lost 10-9 to Solihull, for whom Arthur Davies and Matt Madden both scored a couple of goals. Sutton & Cheam registered their first win - 11-8 against Polytechnic. Four goals without reply in the third quarter by Dicken McLean, Stephen Bayles, Ryan Symington and Kieran Rutter made the difference.
