Taylor positive despire defeat

by Ky Capel

Dorchester Town Under-18s’ boss Robbie Taylor felt there were “lots of positives” despite seeing his side go down to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of New College Academy.

The Magpies, who went behind after just a minute’s play at the Rec, drew level in the 10th minute through Luke Turk only to fall behind once again.

Neil Kellaway restored parity on the half-hour and that is how it stayed going into half-time.

The hosts missed several chances to go in front and they were made to pay for their profligacy as New College scored what proved to be the winning goal.

The defeat completed a somewhat miserable November for the county town side, who lie eighth in the South West Counties League, but Taylor remains upbeat.

He said: “The lads haven’t played badly all season, perhaps the one thing lacking at the moment is focus and concentration.

“There were lots of positives to come out of the game, we’ve just got to try and get the lads concentrating for the whole 90 minutes.

“We’ll keep going and move on to the next game. The whole point of the league is to get the best out of the boys.”

Dorchester will look to bounce back from the defeat when they take on Newport County in another home clash on Saturday (10.30am).

Former Exile Taylor added: “Newport is an old club of mine so I’ll enjoy it.”

Dorchester: Suttle, Lloyd, Spencer, Fellows, Dear, Flood (Austin 55), Webb, Taylor, Kellaway, Turk, Kendrick (Jones 60). Subs not used: Filkins, Gould, Floyd.
