Dorset Premier League (Friday19-09-08)

This was a much better display by a strengthened Reserve Team that included some first team squad players. The first half was fairly even with some entertaining end to end play. Hamworthy had Wayne Robbins playing his first game in goal since his transfer from Swanage. This together with the experienced Steve Gilbert gave them a bit more stability in defence than of late. A clash of heads early in the game saw Crispin Riggler and Mark Seal both having to leave the field, with the former having to go to hospital with a suspected broken nose. Both team were unable to take their chances before the break and a 0-0 scoreline was a fair reflection of the game up to that point.
It was Hamworthy who finally opened the scoring when new signing Martin Warren hooked in a cross from the right to score a well taken goal. The Hammers were then guilty of sitting back on their lead, and were made to pay for it when the Rec took full advantage to level the scores. United fielding several youngsters who had played the previous night began to tire as the second half went on. This allowed the visitors to score two more late goals including an own goal to give them in the end a deserved win.

Team: W, Robbins,M. Seal (S. Griffiths), S. Coakes, G. Horlock (A. Powell), S. Gilbert, M. Wynne. M. Glavin, R. McCabe, M. Warren,S. Lanahan, A. Tilsed (A. Davis)
