But with seconds left on the clock, Recliners had a throw-in, Edd delivered it nicely and Steve Pavey ran in at the back post to restore Recliners lead. 2-1 at Half time. Within 2 minutes of the start, Steve Pavey scored again to make it 3-1. With Recliners having a full squad of 14 for this weekend, they were making regular changes to keep players fresh and it really did help, with Jon scoring his first of the season, Steve Ellis doubling his goal tally for the day after going round the keeper and Steve Pavey completed his hat-trick late in the second half. A great start to the season and in full Corinthians spirit too. The Final score 6-1 to Recliners Youth
