Heavies Hit Five in Second-Half Comeback

Heavitree United made it two wins from two in Division Two with a superb second-half comeback to beat Morchard Bishop 5–3 at Wingfield Park on Saturday.

The Heavies found themselves 2–0 down at half-time after a difficult opening 45 minutes in which the visitors had enjoyed the better of the game. Whatever was said in the dressing room at the break certainly had the desired effect, as Heavitree emerged for the second half with renewed intensity and produced a completely different performance.

Five second-half goals turned the game on its head, with Charlie Way scoring twice and Hodgson, Mouland-Ley and Stewart also finding the net. Morchard pulled one back late on, but Heavitree responded immediately to complete a remarkable 5–3 victory and secure another three points.

The result means the Heavies have started their Division Two campaign with back-to-back victories, scoring eight goals and conceding three, and sit at the top end of the early league table alongside Witheridge.

Attention now turns to this Saturday, when Heavitree travel to Newtown 2nds looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season.
