Source: M.E.N. JUBILANT FC United manager Karl Marginson awarded his rebel Reds top marks after they made it 10 wins out of 10 in the North West Counties League first division with a 4-2 romp over Silsden in front of another bumper Gigg Lane crowd of 3,381.
Rory Patterson struck twice in quick succession early in the second-half to ensure FC United’s winning start stretched into double figures after he’d earlier earned the penalty from which Stuart Rudd fired them in front.
Simon Carden, back from a calf injury, was also on target.
Marginson said: “It was perhaps slightly disappointing for us to have conceded twice but how can you fault a team which has started the season with 10 successive wins? It’s a great achievement by anyone’s standards.”
The win keeps FC United six points clear of second-placed Maine Road who won 3-2 at Stone Dominoes.
The rebels have the chance to increase their lead when they take on fifth-placed neighbours Curzon Ashton at Tameside Stadium tonight (7.45pm).
