BOBBY Brewer made a stunning debut for Kirkbymoorside Reserves.

He scored after only 45 seconds in the RJF Homes Beckett League division one match away to Old Malton thirds.

And with the score 2-2 he got the winner three minutes from the end.

Brewer signed for the Moorsiders in a midweek transfer from Sinnington. Nicky Hodgson made it 2-0 to the Moorsiders after 20 minutes.

Old Malton hit back in the second half through Jamie Dawson on the hour and Jimmy Baxter ten minutes from time.

Brewer's winning goal enabled his new team to close the gap on division one leaders Rosedale to four points and the second-placed Moorsiders have two games in hand.

Rosedale's game at Aislaby United was postponed because of both teams' pitches were waterlogged.

Union Rovers are up to third place in the table after an 11-0 win away to a nine-man Ampleforth side who were missing players because of a road accident.
