Late drama sees Magpies get off to a flying start

Ward 87, Reid 90+1

EASTBOURNE BOROUGH 1

J Walker 64

LATE strikes from debutants Elliot Ward and Jamie Reid ensured a winning start to the new season for Dorchester Town.

Trailing 1-0 to James Walker's 64th-minute effort, the Magpies looked destined to suffer defeat on the opening day of the Blue Square Bet South campaign.

But Ward's free-kick and Reid's close-range finish completed a stunning comeback from the hosts.
