Dorchester TOWN 2 EASTLEIGH 2
A LAST-GASP goal from Tom Wade saw 10-man Dorchester Town Under-18s claim a share of the spoils against Eastleigh in their first match of the new South West Counties League season.
The Magpies, whose first goal came via Connor Flood, were trailing 2-1 at the Avenue Stadium and left staring down the barrel following the dismissal of Lee White.
However, a last minute header from Wade snatched a draw for the county town outfit.
Captain Flood said: “We dug in deep when it mattered and never gave up, showing great character to come back at the end.
“There is still a lot of improvement to be made but we are always heading in the right direction.”
