League Review

themselves back on level terms 7 minutes after half-time through Harry Williams,
who quickly bagged his second less than 2 minutes later. Shaquille Gwengwe
equalised 4 minutes later, only for Henry Spalding to make it 3-2 to `Marine just 4
minutes after that. Conor McDonagh put the visitors 4-2 ahead in the 86th minute,
with Kieran Douglas pulling a third back for the Magpies a minute into stoppage
time.
Bracknell Town are now just a point and a place behind Dorchester, with four
games in hand, after beating Winchester City 3-1 at The SB Stadium. Ben Harris
put the Robins in front after 10 minutes and the same player notched his second
to give Bracknell a two-goal advantage in the 37th minute. George Knight added
the home side’s third after 67 minutes, with Archie Willcox having netted a
consolation 5 minutes earlier.
Merthyr Town are eighth, a point behind Bracknell, after beating Salisbury 5-0
at the Met Coaches Stadium – thus completing the ‘double’ over the Whites. A
crowd of 811 saw Salisbury fall behind as early as the 4th minute through Ricardo
Rees. Curtis Jemmett-Hutson doubled the Martyrs’ lead on 20 minutes, and 6
minutes later, Rees added his second and the hosts’ third. And just 5 minutes after
that, Tom Handley virtually ensured victory when he made it 4-0. The only goal of
a much quieter second half came from Lewis Powell 9 minutes from the end.
At the other end of the table, joy for bottom-markers North Leigh, who secured
just a third win of the season to date and first since 4th October by beating
Hartley Wintney 3-0 at Eynsham Park. Aaron McCreadie gave the Millers a 17th-
minute lead that Lance Williams doubled 5 minutes later. And a third from Jordan
Thomas 5 minutes from time gave Eddie Odhiambo’s men something to celebrate,
leaving The Row now second-from-bottom.
Harrow Borough are now fourth-from-bottom, having lost 3-0 at Silver Jubilee
Park against a Hendon side who moved above them into 17th spot. The Greens
took a 23rd-minute lead through Dave Diediou. It wasn’t until the hour-mark that
they doubled their advantage, thanks to Liam Brooks. And then on 62 minutes, Joe
White made sure of the points with number three for Lee Allinson’s side.
Yate Town are a point and a place above Hendon after sharing a 0-0 draw at
home against Tiverton Town.
That allowed Gosport Borough to move above the Bluebells into 15th after a 3-2
Privett Park victory over mid-table Hayes & Yeading United. But the visitors will
be kicking themselves all the way back to Middlesex as they threw away a 2-0 lead,
courtesy of Jean-Baptiste Fischer on 34 minutes and Moses Emmanuel 2 minutes
later.
Gosport finally pulled one back on 77 minutes when Abdulai Baggie was brought
down in the area and Bradley Tarbuck converted the resulting penalty. Then on the
90-minute mark, Dan Wooden pulled Boro back on level terms. Two minutes into
stoppage time, Wooden pounced to score the home side’s winner.
