Elliot leads Knights to long-awaited victory

Elliot Foster led the charge as Pinchbeck United ended an eight-match winless United Counties League Division One run in style.

He scored twice and could have had several more as he ran Pinxton ragged with a terrific display of attacking play, which helped bring a 4-1 success.

Foster had two chances in the first three minutes but it was the visitors who took the lead after 16 minutes.

Undeterred, the Knights kept pushing and were rewarded after half-an-hour when Foster found the target.

JJ Ward curled a 20-yard effort just wide and Josh Balding saw an effort cleared off the line before Foster drove home from the edge of the penalty area to put Pinchbeck ahead.

The chances kept falling for the Knights marksman with a 20-yard attempt saved just before half-time and another opportunity put wide after he rounded the goalkeeper early in the second half.

Foster then turned provider to set up Flynn Slater to tap home, with a 30-yard thunderbolt from Ward completing the scoring.

Knights: Martin, Stevens (Akyüz), Keating, Panton, Bodibe (Turunen), Balding, Howlett, Foster (Shinn), Slater (Makaka), O’Connor (Cullen), Ward.
Attendance: 48.
