Skillen cameo tops important win

Vale Rec 2, Sylvans 0

THREE points on the board first game up, a good solid team performance and an impressive late cameo from youngster Seb Skillen, pictured.

No wonder Rec coach Carl Le Tissier was a satisfied man as he left the Corbet Field last night.

Second half goals, from Sean Mills, via a penalty he earned, and from Glenn Le Tissier, won the day and the result was the right one after the home side dominated the second period and created the most openings.

For 45 minutes, though, Sylvans gave as good as they got and, like their opponents, knocked the ball around neatly enough in midfield, only to lack punch up front.
