HAYDEN Purves scored a brace as Knowle secured an eighth successive league win with a 2-1 victory against AFC North Kilworth.

Purves netted twice to complete the turnaround for the Robins after the home side took an early lead at Persimmon Park.

The result means Knowle sit third in the Midland Football League Division One table, seven points behind leaders Gornal Athletic with three games in-hand.

North Kilworth broke the deadlock after just three minutes when Reece Hookway took the ball around the Knowle goalkeeper and finished into an empty net.

However, Knowle equalised on the half-hour mark as Purves scored from the penalty spot to draw the visitors level.

And Purves completed the turnaround on 71 minutes with his second goal of the game as the Robins sealed an eighth league victory in a row.




Knowle are next in action against Romulus in the Midland Football League Cup on Tuesday, October 7 with kick-off at 7.45pm at Coles Lane.
