Burn 1-2 Knights

Saturday 13th March
Windsor Park, Belfast. Att: 9,000.

The East Anglia Knights made it two wins out of two with a 2-1 win in Belfast.

A sell-out crowd turned up for the Burn's first home game since the club's three-year hiatus, but it was the visitors who had the last laugh.

Danny Basingstoke scored a wonder goal on the halfway line just eight minutes into the match after he spotted goalkeeper Mark Kearney-Bleakley off his line.

But Belfast's Slovenian striker Matjaz Krizanovic scored the equaliser on the stroke of half-time.

With a hour gone in a match, Adam Carter struck the ball finely into the net after schoolboy defending from the Burn.

Goals
Burn: Krizanovic 44'
Knights: Basingstoke 8', Carter 60'.

London United 2-0 Burn

Sunday 7th March
HMV Park, London. Att: 46,071.

London United got their campaign off to a great start with a 2-0 win over the returning Belfast Burn.

The Burn were playing their first BritLeague match since 2007, when their squad and staff defected to form a new club - Bristol Pirates.

Belfast were skippered by local boy Josh Heany, who joined them in the off-season from Nottingham Fire. And the 24-year-old centre-half, who has 16 caps for the all-Irish national team as a solitary cap for Northern Ireland, nearly put them in front, when he headed Neil Harrington's corner off the post.

United were missing key striker Edward Redwood, who suffered a minor knee injury in England's 5-0 friendly win over South Africa.

But that didn't seem to faze them one bit, when the ball fell to Craig CraiCo who belted a wonder goal from 30 yards after Tom Neill-Perry's poor header.

John Macdonald, who was captaining his first league game for London United, attracted much media attention after his controversial new mullet which has "J-MAC" shaved in on each side.

But the England CSA defender's performance overshadowed his haircut, as he headed home the second from a CraiCo corner.

Goals
London United: CraiCo 25', Macdonald 70'.
Burn: none.
