Brixington Blues came back from 2-0 down to grab a memorable opening game victory against old rivals Alphington Youth FC.

The blues endured the worst possible start to the game, 1-0 down inside 50 seconds into their league campaign. Unfortunately, a through-ball beat the offside trap and a well taken finish left the Blues 2-0 down.

Blues stuck to their game and chances started to come. They were quicker to the ball and thinking faster than the visitors. Alphington had no time to settle.

With Alex Quaife and Cameron Horne linking well supporters sensed a goal was due. Luke Ewing capped a fine first half with the first, chipping the ‘keeper to make the score 2-1 at half-time.

In the second half, Jack McBryan switched flanks, combining well with Josh Poole and the equaliser came from a left sided break with Lewis Tose tapping home after good work from McBryan. Luke Ewing then crossed for Tose to fire home the winner.
