'Terrific' Town out on penalties

by Howard Milton

Dorchester Town crashed out of the FA Youth Cup at the preliminary-round stage on Tuesday.

They lost a penalty shootout at Poole Town 3-2 following a 1-1 draw after extra-time. Ricky King put Poole ahead but Richard Read levelled.

Dorch general manager Phil Basford said: "We could not have asked for any more from the lads. It was a terrific team performance and much better than in Saturday's defeat at Broadway Academy.

"We told them that Saturday's performance was not acceptable and they responded.

"We gave a game to (Australian) midfielder Mitchell Nicholson. He has been training full-time with the first team, did very well and formed a solid central-midfield partnership with Dan Jones. Full credit to Poole - they have a good side - but it was one of those games neither team deserved to lose."

Hamworthy United went out 11-10 on penalties to Gillingham Town, the game finishing 1-1 after 120 minutes.
