Wolves 4 Dandy Town 3

Wolves scored four goals in the last 20 minutes as they produced a dramatic comeback to beat Dandy Town in the first game of a Dudley Eve double-header at Devonshire Rec on Tuesday night.

Town dominated from the first whistle but did not capitalise until late in the half as they took a two-goal lead into the break with strikes from Tomiko Goater and David Jones Jr.

Jones scored his second, and the team’s third, with a neat near-post flick from a low, driven free kick in the 66th minute.

While it would have been easy for Wolves to feel the game was lost, they never gave in and clawed their way back as substitute Morriko Iris scored a brace to reduce the deficit to one. Torque Outerbridge then kept his composure in the 81st minute to slot past Town goalkeeper Turin Place in a one-on-one situation.

Place would then gift Wolves the winner as he fumbled a corner leaving Jahmori Martin to blast the loose ball into the net to secure the win four minutes from time.

Town’s Jahzardae Samuels was dismissed in the second half for serious foul play, while Wolves goalkeeper Lejaun Matthews was man of the match as his timely saves kept his team in the game.

Defeat for Town ended any outside hopes they had of qualifying for the semi-final, while Wolves finish group A in third place.

Scorers:

Dandy Town: Goater 36, Jones 37, 66

Wolves: Iris 71, 79, Outerbridge 81, Martin 86

PHC 0 Hamilton Parish 1

Hamilton Parish finished the group stages with a 100 per cent record after beating PHC in the second match on Tuesday night.

Parish’s Gianni Burgess nearly scored the opening goal at the midway point of the first half when he blocked PHC goalkeeper Quinaceo Hunt’s attempted clearance only for the ball to be cleared off the line by a recovering defender.

In the second half Justin Bell, who was having a field day down Parish’s left flank giving right back Tariq Bean nightmares, outpaced his marker to get an inch-perfect cross in for Burgess to head powerfully home to score the game’s only goal.

Parish goalkeeper Nigel Burgess then did well to tip the ball away from a charging Jenico Sealey as PHC aimed to level the score.

The league champions made attacking changes and brought on their leading goalscorer from last season, Enrique Russell, and he had a costly miss in the dying stages of the match as the ball sliced off his boot and went wide from two yards out.

Scorers:

Hamilton Parish: Burgess 54
