New York returned from rural Pennsylvania with a dramatic last gasp win over Brandywine, National D2 runners up in 2008. At 22-each in the final minute NYRC were awarded a penalty 35m to the Brandywine goal into a stiff breeze. Informed the next dead ball ended the game Matt Venzin elected for a shot at goal, which Johnny Wright hammered low and hard into the wind...

The ball crept over the crossbar sending the visiting team into raptures as they maintained their unbeaten start to the season. More details to follow...
