Dramatic Clarby fight back seals unlikely win

 

Clarbeston Road 5 – Monkton Swifts 4

 
Clarbeston Road came from behind as they grabbed four late goals to secure a dramatic victory against shell shocked Monkton Swifts.
 
For the majority of this tussle the Swifts were in control, Jack Clarke scored with two terrific strikes which put the Swifts in control, on the stroke of half time Ben Steele added a third for the visitors.
 
Four minutes after the interval Jake Wesley found the back of the net for the Road, however, ten minutes later Liam Butland scored which gave the visitors a healthy 4-1 lead.
 
But the Road then found their over drive gear as they scored goals at will as the Swifts defence collapsed.
 
Laurie Haworth and Ben John scored in quick succession before Haworth equalised with his second of this entertaining clash.
 
In the third minute of stoppage time up popped Travis Jones who struck a timely winner for Matt Fox’s Clarby Road outfit which broke the Swifts’ hearts.
