Robins make it nine without defeat
Ely City 4 CRC 3
HIGH-flying Ely City made it nine league games without defeat after coming from behind to beat CRC.
The Robins looked stunned as the visitors raced into a 2-0 lead within the opening 10 minutes but a determined fight-back saw them pull it back to 3-3 going in at half-time.
Centre-back Ben Lawrence ultimately proved the difference between the two sides in a nip and tuck contest as he nodded home a second-half winner to hand Ely all three points.
Alan Alsop’s men sit eighth in the Ridgeons Premier League, just three points behind third-placed Stanway Rovers.
CRC’s failure to clear from set pieces allowed Ely to get back into the match after a swift double had seen the visitors race into the lead.
Richard Chadwick nodded home first to make it 2-1 before Kenny Smith fired home to bring the teams level.
