Melanie, Buxton in hard-fought win

Melanie and Buxton secured hard-fought wins when the inaugural ‘592 Beer Inter-Village Football Festival’ commenced on Sunday at the Buxton Community Centre ground.

Melanie overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeated Brushe Dam 2-1 in front of a sizable crowd. Jermin Costello handed Brushe Dam the unlikely lead as he found the back of the net in the 10th minute, lashing his effort past the custodian from inside the penalty box.

The lead would last until the end of the first half interval. Melanie would eventually fashion the equalizer in the 60th minute through William Europe.
