So near yet so far for Burton

AFC Burton visited Bournemouth Electric in the last HAYWARD SATURDAY LEAGUE game needing to take all three points to nudge Ringwood Town Development out of third place.   Things didn’t go well for the visitors at the start with Faustino Maher and Luke McCoy giving second placed Electric a two goal lead but hopes were raised when Sam Nash halved the deficit with a stunning effort.     The Sparkies immediately restored their two goal advantage though with another goal from their live wire Luke McCoy.

Electric were not so effective after the interval and Burton seized the initiative with goals from Sam Nash and Dan Seymour to get on terms.   Ringwood’s grip on third spot was now looking precarious but it was not to be for Burton.   Electric regained their composure with Teddy Hills heading home from a corner and ace marksman Scott Joyce pouncing on a defensive slip to give them the upper hand 5-3.
