BOURNEMOUTH SPORTS 1 VERWOOD TOWN 2

15 minutes and down 0-1. Was this going to be another dose of last Saturday’s experience. ?? Thankfully, no.

Changes to the line up needed time to settle down. After the goal we did rally, and a good work rate gave us an edge on play.

On 30 minutes Harrison Whitelaw levelled with a cracking goal. We almost had a second when Buggey and Brazier split Sports defence and a Buggey placed shot for the bottom corner was well save by the keeper.

We kept on top of play going in at half time level pegging.

Half Time 1-1

A rejuvenated side produced a much better performance in the second half and although dominating most of the play once again couldn’t put the ball in the net.

Sports had a good spell half way through the half but defensively we were sound and solid at the back.

Charlie Middlemiss came on for his debut and slotted home the winner with ten minutes left.

At the other end with only a few minutes left Skipper Reece Mitchell saved a late penalty to share plaudits.

Result. 2-1
