Jamie's glee for Magpies
by
Terry Spracklen
A clinical strike from Jamie Gleeson 12 minutes from time earned
the Magpies their second successive victory at West Leigh Park
and clinched the Blue Square South double over the Hampshire
side.
This was also the third win on the trot away from home in all
competitions following on from the 2-1 league success at Maidenhead
and the midweek Dorset Senior Cup victory at Verwood.
Playing down the slope, the Hawks made a surprisngly sluggish
start and it was Dorchester who carved out the first chance in
the eighth minute when Ryan Moss picked out Steve Devlin on the
left who cut inside before pulling his shot wide of the near post.
A free-kick from Phil Walsh was then flicked on by Moss but home
stopper Aaron Howe was equal to it.
The tempo of the game increased in the 19th minute when the Hamp-shire
side applied their first real pressure.
The Hawks forced a succession of corners and from the second,
taken by Steve Walker, Hawks’ skipper Ian Simpemba produced
a glancing header at the near post which was cleared off the line
by Bowles.
The Magpies’ defender was then quickly called back in action
to block a 25-yard free-kick from Walker.
As the Hawks piled on the pressure Magpies’ keeper Regan
Coward was well placed to cut out a header from Manny Williams
who had met a flick on from Simpemba.
Dorchester then broke out, with Andre McCollin’s quick turn
and threaded pass, presenting Moss with a free run on goal but
the Dorchester striker, who bagged a midweek hattrick in the Dorset
Senior Cup, smashed his shot against the outside on the angle of
upright and crossbar.
At the other end, Mustafa Tiryaki’s cross was met by Williams
whose effort was cut out by the alert Coward.
Simpemba was denied by a fine double stop from Coward who first
saved with his feet then turned quickly to smother the ball.
Shaun Gale’s side kept up their momentum and a 34th minute
cross from Nightingale was met by Williams whose fierce shot rebounded
off a post back to Walker who effort was clawed to safety off the
outside of the post by Coward.
Following the resultant corner, Gary Macdonald fired over.
There was a then a delay following a clash of heads between Ian
Selley and Simpemba with the ex-Gunner forced to leave the field
having sustained a serious cut.
However, substitute Ollie Barnes settled in quickly to give one
of his best performances for the county town side.
After the break, Dorchester had much more of the play but the
early chances were created by the home side.
Gleeson nipped in to turn a shot from Robbie Martin around a post
while Coward was again well positioned to gather shots from Tiryaki
and Walker.
Hawks’ defender Sam Pearce was a tad unfortunate to receive
a caution when it was team-mate Walker who upended the industrious
Mark Jermyn.
The resultant free-kick from Barnes was blocked while Jermyn’s
ball back in aimed at Moss was hacked clear.
Devlin then found Moss whose cross was met by McCollin who made
space for himself but his eventual shot deflected straight to Howe.
Jermyn and McCollin then combined to set up a chance for Devlin
whose header across goal was cleared, while Bowles set up Moss
but his shot deflected away for a corner.
Former Magpie Ivan Forbes had been introduced with the disapproval
of the travelling fans in the 58th minute and just after, he broke
through with Jake Newton in support to set up Walker whose shot
was diverted for a corner. A foul on McCollin then resulted in
a Bowles free-kick which was met by the head of Vickers whose effort
from six yards was shepherded to safety. A 25-yard piledriver from
Jermyn was blocked on the 18-yard line, while a superb sliding
tackle from Vickers at the other end prevented another former Magpie,
substitute Wes Fogden, skipping clear.
Nightingale then hammered a 25- yard effort just wide before the
pivotal moment of the match arrived.
The referee mistakenly awarded the Hawks a throw-in but the home
side then quickly lost possession to Gleeson who worked himself
into space before drilling an inch-perfect low drive into the far
corner from 25 yards.
As the Hawks tried to restore parity, Fogden had a penalty appeal
waved aside when he went sprawling in the presence of Bowles, Martin
steered a Forbes header away from goal and, deep in stoppage time,
Coward saved a last-ditch shot from Newton.
The Hawks ended with a third ex-Magpie on the pitch in the shape
of Steve Hutchings but the current Dorchester players held on to
claim three valuable points. |
