Pacquette's prize

by Ky Capel

A dismal Dorchester display ended in a comfortable victory for visiting Maidenhead.

The returning Richard Pacquette, who started on the bench for the Berkshire Magpies, proved the major difference between the two sides, scoring twice and setting up a goal for strike partner Mustafa Tyriaki. The hosts meanwhile, failed to muster a single attempt on target.

The defeat, Dorchester’s 17th of the Blue Square South campaign, leaves the Dorset Magpies six points clear of relegation but having played two more games than third from bottom Thurrock.

Two changes were made from the side that beat Havant & Waterlooville in midweek. New signing Phil Walsh made his debut in attack and Tom Mitchell started in midfield while Daniel Reeve and Mitchell Nicholson dropped to bench.

After a quite opening period, the visitors were forced to make a switch after only a quarter of an hour played.

Gavin James went down under the challenge of Ashley Vickers and although the Magpies’ assistant-manager won the ball cleanly, Maidenhead’s striker was left in a heap and eventually stretchered off with a suspected broken leg after a five-minute delay.

James’ replacement, Pacquette, was then inches away from connecting with Ashley Nicholls’ teasing cross at the resumption of play.

Dorchester’s first effort at the opposition’s goal failed to arrive until the 25th minute when Ronayne Marsh-Brown volleyed comfortably wide from 30 yards.

Seven minutes later, Walsh inadvertently had Miklos Erdelyi worried in the United goal. Defender Jamal Fyfield sliced a low cross from Nick Crittenden straight onto the torso of debutant Walsh, but the ball bobbled wide of the right-hand post.

Sandwiched between some wild efforts from the visitors, Jacob Erskine was denied close-range by Erdelyi, however, an assistant’s flag was already raised.

Then, with four minutes of the half remaining, Walsh picked out Kevin Hill with a deep cross and after letting the ball bounce, the former Torquay United man unleashed a fierce strike that whistled past an upright.

The game’s first shot on target produced the opening goal, and it went the way of Maidenhead.

A searching ball out of defence from Ashley Smith was missed by player-boss Roy O’Brien and Pacquette gratefully accepted the gift, blasting beyond Gareth Stewart.

Pacquette, on his return from a loan spell at Histon, almost made it two deep into first-half stoppage time but on this occasion he fired wide from an acute angle.

Ten minutes into the second half, Stewart made his first save of the afternoon, brilliantly palming away Smith’s shot across goal.

But the home keeper was helpless two minutes later as the Berkshire Magpies extended their advantage.

Pacquette’s left-sided cross found Mustafa Tyriaki unmarked and he nodded past Stewart from six yards.

O’Brien made changes, one of which saw the home manager substitute himself, in a bid to turn the tide. But his attempts failed as the away sode went on to add a third in the 74th minute, courtesy of another confident finish from Pacquette after the hosts struggled to deal with a long ball once more.

With the result beyond doubt the game petered out into a non-event but there was still time for Walsh to shoot wide after being set up by Vickers’ knock down.
