Miners strike rich vein of form

14 Feb 1997

On a bad day for the IC football teams, RSM seconds reminded everyone that it is possible to win with style and plenty of hi-jinx.

RSM dominated the game from kick-off to the final whistle - the first half saw Martin drive home an eighteen yard shot leaving the deeper helpless, Si quickly followed with an almost as impressive goal.

Si sealed the game with his second goal.

RSM II 3 - 1 King’s Hospital
