The Pitching In Isthmian Football League

Soham break their duck

16 Sep 2012 By Peter Butcher

SOHAM became the last Ryman League team to get off the mark this season, recording a 4-2 victory at Redbridge yesterday (Saturday) in the only Ryman North fixture of the day.

The struggling Motormen took a third-minute lead through Lee Newton only for Matt Robinson to equalise on the half-hour and then put Soham ahead nine minutes after the break as keeper Jack Avery failed to hold the ball (pictured above courtesy of Andy Burford: http://alfisti.smugmug.com).

Jack Paxman added a 61st-minute penalty but Redbridge replied seven minutes later through Paul Tiffen and stayed in the hunt until Ryan Auger hit a late clincher, the 16th goal Redbridge have conceded in three home games.

Where next?
