AFC Totton
STUMBLING STAGS FALL TO DEFEAT AT DORCHESTER
AFC TOTTON suffered their first Southern League Premier Division South defeat of the season following a lacklustre display at The Avenue in Dorset against Dorchester Town.
The home side had much the better of the first half, with Olaf Koszela forcing Josh Gould to parry wide for a corner and Wayne Robinson proving a frequent nuisance.
But the Magpies still found themselves behind at the break due to the ball rebounding kindly for Charlie AUSTIN to tuck home his third goal in three games.
Olaf KOSZELA equalised from the penalty spot on 56 minutes, after Declan Rose tripped Shaquille Gwengwe. And Olaf KOSZELA added a second three minutes later when he was allowed to drift infield from the left and fire into the bottom corner.
Wayne ROBINSON ran onto a through-ball to extend the home side’s lead off the inside of the left post in the 68th minute.
Austin had a chance to reduce the arrears when he ran through on goal from Tony Lee’s lay-off but fired wide. And although Scott RENDELL pulled one back with a header six minutes into stoppage time, converting a high left-wing cross from ex-Magpie Marcus Daws, Dorchester Town held on to win by the odd goal in five.
