PIMPERNE 2 PORTLAND UNITED YOUTH 3

AFTER having arguably the goal of the game wrongly ruled out for offside, man of the match Alex Gould went on to score two goals straight from corner kicks and assisted Rob Maxted for the winner.

The Blues went behind against the run of play, with a neatly-placed finish into the top corner by a Pimperne forward.

However, the visitors kept up the pressure and were rewarded in the second period through Gould’s set-pieces to go 2-1 ahead.

Alex Gould then won the ball on the halfway line and slotted Maxted in and he put the visitors out of sight with a fine left-footed strike into the bottom corner.

A late rally from Pimperne sw them nick a second at the death after the Blues keeper got way caught out of position.

However, with some good defending, the islanders managed to hold offs the hosts for the win.

Portland: W Gould, R Gould, Laming, Peterson, Bennett, A.Gould, Skelton, Nash, Jones, Allen, Maxted.
