Seagulls swoop to beat Magpies

by Ky Capel

Dorchester Town's Avenue Stadium blues made a swift return as they lost in disappointing fashion to visiting Weston-super-Mare yesterday.

The Magpies were ahead inside five minutes with a Jon Docker penalty, but a severe lack of drive in the second half allowed the Seagulls' to take control and score twice through Ryan Harley thus condemning the hosts to their fourth home defeat of the campaign.

The game got off to the perfect start for the Magpies. Early possession in the fourth minute saw the ball worked between Roy O'Brien and Nathan Peprah-Annan down on the right touchline. The latter then played the ball back to Mark Robinson who swung the ball in and Ivan Forbes took it on his chest but, as he looked to advance, the ball struck the arm of centre-half William Clark and referee Collins pointed to the spot.

Dorchester's second penalty in five days, the first missed by Charlie Henry at Basingstoke, was dispatched with confidence by Docker to send Ryan Northmore the wrong way and give Shaun Brooks' side an early lead.

Jones Awuah then almost doubled the advantage but after Docker's drive and blocked shot, the striker couldn't convert from 10 yards under pressure.

The hosts were the only side who looked interested and Docker's deflected free-kick was scrambled away by keeper Northmore.

The first warning sign from Weston came on 17 minutes courtesy of Gareth Hopkins. Winger Dean Grubb skipped past O'Brien with a cheeky nutmeg before cutting the ball back to Hopkins, whose shot wasn't powerful enough to beat Behcet in goal.

Weston's number eight, Ryan Harley, who was later booked, saw an edge of the box effort go agonisingly wide after his shot went through a crowd of players.

A quiet first half cranked up a notch in the 42nd minute when Awuah almost netted. The Ghanaian jumped with Northmore after a high ball into the box by Peprah-Annan. The Seagulls' stopper then dropped the ball under pressure but Awuah couldn't adjust accordingly and his effort bobbled past the post.

When the half-time whistle blew Dorchester's lead looked safe and secure, but Brooks' men were about to let that slip through their fingers.

Weston's best chance of the game so far came five minutes after the restart. Tricky Grubb found himself all alone after Aaron Wilson's through pass. The winger then advanced towards Behcet who made a great save down to his right to deny Grubb.

Ten minutes later Seagulls' possession paid off as Harley received the ball 25 yards out and duly struck a powerful effort. Brian Dutton, making his home debut, and Jamie Gleeson went to close the ball down but the shot hit Gleeson on its way towards goal and that extra touch proved decisive as the ball evaded Behcet in goal to level the scores.

The Magpies did make an effort to get back on top but it didn't last long. Peprah-Annan combined well with substitute Henry and the former Tottenham man hit a first time volley just past the far post.

This was all that the home side managed to muster in the second period and their appearance to settle for the point looked dangerous.

Substitute Seagull Marc McGregor went close with a dipping effort and striker Hopkins had a header saved by the Magpies' keeper.

Then with four minutes to play skipper Alex Browne conceded a free-kick on the edge of the Dorchester box. The captain was not amused by the decision and neither was his side as Harley stepped up and kept a calm head to lift the ball up and over the wall leaving Behcet stranded.

The only reply the hosts had was a Docker shot that went high and wide to leave the visitors with their first away win of the season.
