Trinity Hearts Broken with last Kick of the Game...

This top of the table, division 3 clash at West Common Lane saw some bizzar decisions by the Referee have a major bearing on the result. Coupled with a strong diagonal wind which both teams struggled with on another day the result may have been much different. Baysgarth opened the scoring with only 7mins gone when a hopeful long ball caught the wind and deceived Trinity goalkeeper Graham Dixon, allowing Pat Sprakes to nip in and score. The game then got bogged down in midfield until Phil Brumby fed Danny Barnes who turned well and forced a good save from the Baysgarth keeper who was thankful to see his save clip the top of the bar. A series of long throw ins from Baysgarth caused problems for Trinity and with 10min left it was one of these that resulted in Baysgarths 2nd goal. A near post flick looping into the net.

With the wind at their backs it was Trinity who started the second half strongly with both Jason Harper and Barnes going close before Mike Fowles thumped home Trinitys first after only 6mins. Trinity continued to press strongly creating several good chances, leaving Baysgarth hanging on at times. As time began to run out Brumby limped off to be replaced by veteran manager Keith Harper. It was now that the Referee totally "lost the plot". Trinity were awarded a penalty for a foul, which even the Referee agreed had started outside the area. Keith Harper was not going to argue as he confidently stroked home the spot kick to deservedly draw Trinity level. Baysgarth were now also loosing the plot as they questioned every decision. With minutes left Baysgarth thought they had scored the winner but it was disallowed. The table toppers gained an undeserved win with the last kick of the game which flew in from close range following a corner.
