Luke Ryan solved a goalkeeping crisis in fine style for Wisbech St Mary A last Saturday.
The full-back donned the gloves in the absence of the team’s regular shot-stopper and delivered an impressive display during a 1-1 draw at Mepal Sports in Division 2B of the Cambs League.
Mariusz Kudyba found the net for the Saints side as they retained their top-six position in the table.
The Wisbech St Mary first team also picked up a point in the Kershaw Premier Division. Ricky Bowden hit their goal in a 1-1 deadlock at West Wratting.
Gary Haime’s all conquering Saints Reserves took another step towards the Division 1B crown as Edgaras Buzas and Aaron McKenna goals earned a 2-0 victory against Over Sports Reserves.
