EAST PREMIER B
Redbridge and Ilford I 3 Long Sutton I 5
SUTTON set down a marker with an impressive second-half display in their first league game of the season.
However, they were forced to recover from a slow start and the home side took advantage to open-up a 2-0 half-time lead.
The introduction of Jeremy Watt proved to be the turning point and he linked well with fellow debutant Dick Bee.
The visitors were a different side after the break and Gary Hales' hat-trick and a brace from Nick Bailey turned the game around.

Sutton were rewarded with two goals from Ash Taylor and Nick Bailey in the closing minutes.
