Hawks swoop over eight-man Magpies

by Echo Reporter

A frustrating and bewildering night for Dorchester Town saw Havant & Waterlooville run out 3-1 winners and the Magpies end the Blue Square Bet South encounter with just eight men.

Player-manager Ashley Vickers and fellow defenders Jake Smeeton and Kyle Critchell all received straight reds for second-half offences.

The second period was certainly one to forget for the travelling contingent, especially after Steve Devlin’s sweet strike had given the Magpies a half-time lead.

Replacement forward Mustafa Tiryaki smashed home a fine equaliser on the hour and then a bizarre moment saw Vickers dismissed for wrestling a streaker to the ground.

Former Magpie Wes Fogden completed the comeback before Smeeton and Critchell were sent packing in quick succession.

And an injury-time third from Steve Ramsey rounded off a miserable evening for the visitors, who remain five points clear of the relegation zone.

Vickers said: “We were 1-0 up and playing ever so well. They scored a great goal to equalise and you have to give the guy credit for that.

“We were sticking to a game plan though, doing our jobs and giving everything as usual.

“We were then down to 10 men and it shook the boys. They got a second and then Jake went for a 50-50 with Giuseppe Sole. The ball was bouncing in the air, Giuseppe got their first and they clashed heads.

“It was Jake’s first foul of the night and it was an incredible decision to send him off.

“Then Kyle was sent off for apparently saying something to the linesman. All he did was ask why Jake had been sent off.

“I would be the first to say if my players have been abusive but that was not the case. As for Jake, he was just a little late, nothing more.

“Havant’s manager Shaun Gale said he will help us with a DVD of the game.

“No one in the ground, players and supporters alike, will have seen anything like that before and no one will see anything like it again.

“I will always bounce back and my players are the same. Too many refs have not experienced playing football and it’s killing the game.”

Boss Vickers kept faith with the same side that disposed of fellow strugglers Thurrock just 48 hours previous, which included himself at the heart of the defence.

And the Magpies carried on from where they left off at the weekend, taking the lead after only nine minutes at Westleigh Park.

Devlin took aim from 20 yards and unleashed a left-foot thunderbolt beyond home keeper Nathan Ashmore.

The Hawks then lost striker Manny Williams to injury midway through the half, following a collision with Magpies’ gloveman Dan Thomas, but were able to call upon second top scorer Tiryaki.

However, it was the visitors who remained largely on top with Ryan Moss spurning a glorious opportunity to double the lead.

The Magpies’ leading marksman sprung the offside trap but snatched at his shot, which flew wide.

That miss, prior to half-time, proved costly as the Hawks restored parity on the hour – substitute Tiryaki scoring from 25 yards.

Then came the major talking point of the night. A streaker invaded the pitch and managed to evade the pursuing stewards.

Vickers took matters into his own hands – literally – and halted the intruder, only to see red for his 70th-minute intervention.

The dismissal caused a major stir, with the man in black also opting to remove assistant-manager Phil Simkin and assistant-kitman Dan Fuge from the county town dugout for their protests.

Havant capitalised on their new-found advantage and took the lead with just 13 minutes to go.

And to make matter worse, it came via former county town favourite Fogden.

Dorchester were unable to find a way back into the game and ended the contest with eight men.

Smeeton and then Critchell, who also sustained a groin injury on the night, followed Vickers to an early bath, meaning all but one of the visiting back four had received their marching orders.

To compound the Magpies’ misery, Ramsey added a third for the hosts in stoppage time.
