Pirton Social 2 Sun Sports 4                               1953/54                              HCL Div One

It was Sun's turn this time

Pirton left Sun Sports ground last Saturday with two lucky points.
Sun returned the compliment this week.
The difference was, however, that whereas Pirton did not deserve their success, Sun's victory was justified.
From first to last, they set the pace, Shillito opening the scoring within three minutes.
It was not until twenty minutes later that Pirton reached the Sun penalty area; then they forced two corners before they drew level via the penalty spot.
Sun put on pressure and Watt got the ball into the net only for it to be ruled offside.
But that did not matter for Sun came back again and again, and before the interval goals from Boyle and Lamport had put them on the road to victory.
Sun did the major share of attacking in the second half and they increased their lead through Watt.
Twelve minutes from time Pirton scored when the Sun defence faltered.
