Bradley's Hustle Puts Game Out Of Reach


The pivotal play came in the 52nd minute.

Another aerial ball from the Dragons' midfield sailed over the heads of the Lionville back line and Conor Bradley charged forward. The Lionville keeper came off his line to challenge, making the ball 50-50.

It was Bradley who arrived just in time to poke it past the keeper, and it rolled into the vacant net.

The collision left the Lionville shot stopper on the pitch, and the Lionville coach protested the play, but the goal stood.

Inconsolable, the Lionville coach lost the plot and the official ended the match as a result, giving Haverford the 3-1 victory to remain unbeaten in the young season.

The Dragons will take great pleasure in their turnaround which had them fight back from 1-nil down to claim all three points.
