STURMINSTER NEWTON UNITED 2
BALTI SPORTS 5
BALTI Sports put in a superb second-half performance to help them eventually cruise to a 5-2 win over Sturminster Newton United in the Dorset Premier League.
Braces from Danny Andrews and Ricky Lane alongside a Phil Anderson header sealed the win.
A ball over the top from Oscar Preece found Andrews who ran on to it found the top corner with a first- time shot from 20 yards.
Balti then handed Sturminster an equaliser as sloppy defending gifted the ball to the hosts who put a ball over the top and finished to level after 30 minutes.
Balti regained the lead on 40 minutes when Andrews put a cross in and Lane fired in.
After half-time, Phil Anderson extended the lead with a header when Lane crossed the ball in from a free-kick after 50 minutes.
Balti again scored when Lane fired into the bottom corner five minutes later.
Preece then pressured well to get the ball to square to Andrews to tap in.
Balti conceded a late consolation in the 77th minute but the win had been wrapped up.
Balti host Westland Sports on Saturday, May 26.
Balti: A. Nott, Pearce, Anderson, Roberts (Burton 60), Nichols (Taylor 60), Dovell, Walker, McClements (Lock 70), Andrews, Preece, Lane.
