Basingstoke 3 Dartford 2
Comments |
Dartford
suffered their first Blue Square Bet South defeat of the season,
allowing a 2-1 lead to slip to a 3-2 defeat at Basingstoke on
Saturday afternoon.
The hosts took the lead with a well-taken goal on six minutes
but Charlie Sheringham (pictured) scored his seventh goal of the
season from the spot, at the second attempt, soon after to draw
Dartford level after he had been hauled down in the area.
Jon Wallis lashed narrowly over after a knock-down from Richard
Graham soon after before Adam Green turned the game on its head on
35 minutes when his 25-yard free-kick was deflected into the
net.
However within two minutes the hosts had drawn level with a
direct free-kick of their own and they snatched the lead they would
not relinquish with a close-range goal past Deren Ibrahim within
five minutes of the second-half starting.
Ryan Hayes drew a save from the home keeper and although
Basingstoke went close to a fourth with a shot which managed to hit
both posts without crossing the line, Tom Bonner headed over from a
corner at the other end and Wallis fizzed a shot wide as Dartford
tried to find a leveller.
