Hyde fall to third straight defeat

NPL Premier Division: Hyde United 1-3 Radcliffe

Hyde United suffered their third straight defeat on Tuesday night as Radcliffe ran out 3-1 winners at Ewen Fields. 

The visitors raced in an early lead when Robert Grant headed home past Craig Ellison in the fifth minute, however Hyde pulled level in the 69th minute through Ciaran Summers who poked the ball into the bottom corner. The joy was short-lived however, as Radcliffe re-took the lead just four minutes later as a low cross into the box was converted by Adam Dawson.

Hyde went in search of a late equaliser as the game was entering its digit stages, however it proved to be their undoing as Radcliffe broke up the pitch and Kole Hall netted the third and decisive goal to kill the game off.

Following the game, Hyde's Luke Edwards spoke to manager Jim Gannon to get his thoughts on the defeat.
