Billericay 1 Margate 2
Comments |
Ten-man Margate made it back-to-back wins with a battling
victory at Billericay in the Ryman League Premier Division on
Saturday.
Gate overcame the 14th minute dismissal of John Keister
(pictured), who was shown a straight red card for a two-footed
tackle, to take all three points.
The visitors should have gone in front midway through the half
when Leroy Huggins’ through ball found Sam Jones but he fired
wide.
The game came to life early in the second half when James
Pinnock was brought down by Chris Wild for a penalty. Nick Barnes
stepped up and beat former Gate keeper Paul Nicholls from the
spot.
Neither side created many further chances until Billericay
levelled on the hour. Dave Wareham’s cross was handled by Barnes
and Simon Thomas scored the penalty.
The winner came deep into stoppage time when ex-Gate defender
Greg Oates hesitated in dealing with Jones’ long-ball. Pinnock was
able to get a cross in that was pulled back by Dan Stubbs for
Huggins to strike the ball home.
