United continued their unbeaten start to the season with a solid 4-2 win over CSV B. The Pinks notched up three early goals while their opponents had just 10 men, with Will, Scott and Arun all forcing the ball home from close range. Dev made it 4-0 before half time with a sweetly-struck daisy cutter from 18 yards into the far corner.
United’s dominance was tempered in the second half, as a now full-strength CSV came back into the game. An early goal from a set piece opened a competitive second half in which both teams got in and around the box, but neither made a gilt-edged chance. Another CSV goal a few minutes from time threatened to make things nervy for the Pinks, but the 25 yard rocket from the CSV defender proved to be the end of the scoring.
Two weeks of cup action await the Pinks as they look to continue the unbeaten start on all three fronts this season.
