REYROLLE TRAVELLED TO SEATON BURN FOR THIS AWAY FIXTURE AFTER A TOUGUE LASHING FROM MANAGER MARK COLLINGWOOD FOLLOWING WHAT HE CALLED "AN UNACCEPTABLE AND HEARTLESS PERFORMANCE" THE PREVIOUS WEEK AT WALLINGTON.

COLLINGWOOD AS PROMISED MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO THE SIDE THAT LOST 3 1 AT WALLINGTON AND CALLED FOR HIS SIDE TO SHOW MORE HEART AND DESIRE.

THE MATCH STARTED AT A FRANTIC PACE WITH SEATON BURN BOMBARDING THE REYROLLE BOX WITH HIGH BALLS THAT THE AWAY DEFENDERS DEALT WITH WITH LITTLE EASE, THE MATCH WAS ONLT 6 MINUTES OLD WHEN THE VISITORS SUFFERED A HUGE BLOW WHEN REYROLLE STRIKER JEFFERS WENT DOWN CLUTCHING HIS RIGHT ANKLE AFTER TWISTING IT IN THE 18 YARD BOX.

REYROLLE BROUGHT ON THE VASTLY EXPERIENCED LEDGERWOOD IN TO THE LEFT MIDFIELD POSITION AND THREW CRAIG MALLEY UP FRONT TO PARTNER MORRIS IN ATTACK.
REYROLLE TOOK A DESERVED LEAD ON 10 MINUTES WHEN A FREE KICK FROM MARK HAIRE WAS SWEPT IN TO THE NET BY NEW SIGNING DUNN WHO SHOWED GREAT AWARENESS TO PUT THE VISITORS A GOAL UP.

REYROLLE HAD CHANCES TO GO FURTHER AHEAD BUT SUFFERED A SUCKER PUNCH ON 18 MINUTES WHEN A LARGE PUNT FROM THE HOME KEEPER CAUGHT OUT THE ENTIRE REYROLLE DEFENSE AND ALLOWED THE HOME NUMBER 9 TO RUN ON TO THE BALL AND HAUL HIS SIDE LEVEL.
THIS STUNG REYROLLE IN TO ACTION AND INSTEAD OF COLLAPSING THE REYROLLE TEAM ROLLED THEIR SLEEVES UP AND FOUGHT FOR EVERY BALL AND PLAYED SOME WONDERFUL FOOTBALL. THEY GOT THERE REWARD WHEN A BALL IN TO THE LEFT CHANNEL FROM THE VETERAN LEDGERWOOD WAS FLICKED BY MORRIS IN TO MALLEY WHO LOBBED THE HOME KEEPER TO PUT HIS SIDE 2:1 UP AFTER 25 MINUTES.
REYROLLE WENT 3:1 UP ON 42 MINUTES WHEN AGAIN MORRIS HELD THE BALL UP SUPERBLY FOR MARK HAIRE TO PICK HIS SPOT WITH A MEASURED FINISH THAT MADE SURE THAT THE VISITORS HAD SOMETHING TO DEFEND IN THE SECOND PERIOD.

THE SECOND HALF SAW THE REYROLLE FRONT TWO FURTHER TORMENT THE HOME DEFENDERS BUT AGAIN CHANCE AFTER CHANCE WENT BEGGING.

REYROLLE SECURED VICTORY ON 65 MINUTES WHEN SHOTTON WAS UPENDED IN THE BOX AND HAIRE DESPATCHED THE RESULTING SPOT KICK SENDING THE HOME KEEPER THE WRONG WAY TO PUT HIS SIDE 4:1 UP.

ON 70 MINUTES SEATON BURN WHERE AWARDED A SOFT SPOT KICK AFTER THE REFEREE DEEMED THAT THE BALL HAD STRUCK THE RIGHT ARM OF JOHNNY DUNN MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THE REYROLLE PLAYERS AND BENCH.
THE SEATON BURN 10 DESPATCHED THE RESULTING KICK TO REDUCE THE ARREARS.
ON 74 MINUTES THE GAME WAS OVER AS A CONTEST AFTER THE SEATON BURN NUMBER 11 THREW A PUNCH OFF THE BALL AT DONNELLEY RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE AND WAS AWARDED A STRAIGHT RED CARD.

COLLINGWOOD SAID AFTER THE GAME "WE ASKED FOR A LOT MORE OF EVERYTHING FROM THE LADS TODAY AND THEY HAVE GAVE ME THERE ALL SO I AM A LOT MORE HAPPY THAN I WAS AFTER LAST WEEKS PERFORMANCE."
