Early league leaders Dorchester Town Stars were our visitors today. The game started at a high tempo with both sides creating chances. With 11 mins gone Simon was fouled just outside the penalty area. Gus shot over, but the wall had encroached so Gus had a second attempt. This time the shot cleared the wall and went in off the crossbar 1-0. Things got better on 18 mins when Jack Rice and Gus combined to put Bestie through. With the keeper advancing off his line Mathew coolly lifted the ball over his head to make the score 2-0. We kept the pressure on with Aaron volleying just wide and Graeme also going close. Dorchester started the second half well but we coped until Graeme made a great tackle which some how the ref though was a penalty. We then failed to cut out a cross from the left and Dorchester were level. We went 3-2 down when a visiting forward ran through to score. In the last five mins we played with four up front on two at the back but Dorchester broke away to make the final score 4-2. The boys should be really proud of themselves as they never gave up and on another day we may well have won.
