RACA’s real final away game of the season against Boldon CA ended up full of incident as Aaron Costello scored a hattrick then got himself sent off, while his teammates pushed on to win the game 5-2 despite the numerical disadvantage, Ryton completing a 100% record at the Hub this season.
Costello had a blistering start to the game as he scored in the 6th, 12th & 17th minutes to put Albion 3-0 up before Dessie da Silva pulled one straight back for Boldon. Costello then got himself dismissed for disputing an offside decision too vehemently in the 37th minute, but Ryton held on to the two goal lead at half time. Regular sharpshooter Robbie Gateshill put Boldon right back into the game on 63 minutes with his fourth goal in five games but RACA kicked on with two goals in as many minutes from Lucas Lowery-Matondo and Rhys McLeod to secure a 5-2 win & keep the hopes of scoring 100 league goals this season and a top ten finish alive. The three points move RACA up to 9th place with one game left to play.
