Evo Stik Division One South
Spalding United 0-2 Stocksbridge Park Steels
Stocksbridge youngster Ben Rhodes scored in the 2-0 win at Spalding
Nine-man Stocksbridge put themselves on the brink of securing a top ten finish after victory at Spalding.
Ben Rhodes placed the Steels in front early on with a header at the far post from Scott Ruthven’s cross.
The first man to walk was defender Matt Reay for a second bookable offence, just after the interval.
Former Armthorpe striker Joe Lumsden sealed the victory in the closing stages with a fine low drive.
The game then descended into the farcical as Corey Gregory then saw red. Spalding’s Sam Murphy saw red during stoppage time.
Stocksbridge Park Steels: D Reay, Meade, Tootle, Gregory, McFadyen, M Reay, Rhodes, Biggins, Lumsden, Ruthven, Coleman. Subs: Burton, Laight, Hilton, Thompson.
