Reserves Stay Unbeaten

The word is out about the KCW Reserves. Don't relax if you jump out to an early lead. For the third time this season, our reserves fell behind. For the third time this season, we earned a result. This time, after trailing 2-0, we rallied for a 3-2 win on the strength of a late Jonathan Leathers goal.

Since I didn't see the goals, I can't give exact details. McMahen's was a "rocket of a free kick from 24 yards out." Marquess banged his home off several deflections from close range after an excellent pass from Pizarro and flick from Leathers. Pizarro freed Leathers on a breakaway for the winner. That's all I've got. Lineups/minutes of goals below:
