BISHOP LYDEARD 2

BRIDPORT 3

Bridport made it three wins from three as they came from two goals down to beat Bishop Lydeard in the South West Peninsula League.

The home side put themselves 2-0 before Sol Ayunga pulled one back just before the break.

Two goals in final five minutes from Issac House and Fred Parsons snatched the win at the death in a dramatic comeback for the Bees.

Bishop Lydeard drew first blood in the opening ten minutes after one of their striker's got in behind the Bees' defence, who stood off, and allowed him to finish at the front post.

Chris Herbst men almost levelled the scores up five minutes later when Sol Ayunga sent a shot narrowly over the bar.

The Bees were enjoying a good amount of possession in the opening half hour, looking dangerous at times, but for a goal disallowed for offside, were left frustrated.

Then, against the run of play, the home side made it 2-0 in the 38th minute as a Bishop Lydeard striker ran through one-on-one with Jordan Scadding, who initially saved the shot but an unmarked Bishop player was left unmarked to tap in from close range.

As the half time whistle drew near, Bridport pulled one back courtesy of Ayunga. The Bees striker leapt highest from a George Calverley corner to head home, reducing the deficit before the break.

Bridport continued to press in the second half as they went in search of an equaliser, with Fred Parsons coming close with an effort put just over the bar.

As the game entered the final five minutes, it looked as if Bishop would claim victory but House got on the end of a cross to grab a well deserved equaliser.

With the game drawing to an end, it looked like both teams would have to settle for a point until Joe Charles' cross was met by Parsons who completed the comeback to bring all three points back to Dorset.

The draws leaves Bridport eighth in the table with 11 points from nine games.
