FAMOUS Old Spa produced arguably the comeback of the season so far to keep alive their chances of catching the league’s top two sides.

The Redlands side, third in the table behind leaders New Star and second-placed King’s Arms, formerly known as Dorothy, recovered from 2-0 down at half-time against Moby Dick’s to win 3-2.

Liam Puckett’s first-half brace appeared to put the visitors in control of the encounter, but the Spa had other ideas.

A Chris Skinner double and goal from Luke Hearn saw the hosts register their eighth victory of the campaign to remain third in the standings.

And the three points will act as a big confidence boost head of their trip to West Mullen in the quarter-finals of the Dorset Sun-day Intermediate Cup this weekend.

League front-runners New Star were given one of their toughest tests of the season by Broad-mayne in the latest round of games.

Star’s new signing Sean Stewart netted either side of William Turland’s goal to give the islan-ders a 2-1 success – Stewart also missed a late penalty to complete a hat-trick.

King’s Arms need just four more goals to take their tally for the campaign to 100 after thrashing Sailors Return 10-0 at Redlands.

Ross Jones (2), Ricky Lane, Josh Burton, Oscar Preece and Liam Taylor put hosts Market House to the sword in Dolphin’s 6-1 victory at the Marsh.

There was nearly a remarkable fight back by Junction Trojans at Budmouth School.

The league’s bottom club were staring down the barrel of another heavy loss when they trailed The Alex 4-0 at half-time.

Two goals for Barry Stratford and a Martin Rolfe strike put the Trojans on the brink of a first point of the term, but it wasn’t to be in the end.

Bakers Arms and Weather-bury fought out a 2-2 draw at Dorchester Rec. Matt Roberts and Matt Sturmey scored for Bakers, while Daniel McGarrigal got their opponents’ goals.
