Renegades produce fantastic fightback
Sunday football round-up
A stunning comeback earned Luton Renegades a point from their Luton Sunday League clash with One Nation.
At 4-0 down with 30 minutes left on the clock, the Renegades should have been out of it, but they somehow clawed their way back into the contest and it ended up 5-5.
Warren Canney led the fightback with a hat-trick with the other goals coming courtesy of Marco Martins and Neil Brightman.
Team BYL went down to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of league leaders USL Rams, a result that puts the victors six points ahead of the Renegades with the benefit of two games in hand.
In-form Rhinos continued their good run with a 3-2 victory against Chalton Athletic while Luton Rovers completed a comfortable 4-1 win against Rising Sun.
