Fleet Tn 2

(White 21, Mlambo 45)

North Leigh came from two goals down to earn a point against struggling Fleet Town in Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West.

The Millers dominated possesion in a one-sided first half, but found themselves trailing 2-0 at the break.

Jamie Cook, Aaron Woodley, Callum McNish and Kieran Sanders all had chances before North Leigh fell behind in the 21st minute.

Craig Martin swung over a high cross and Ben White stole in to head past keeper Matt Bulman.

The hosts were then awarded a penalty when Dan Rousell brought down Woodley, but Cook’s well-struck spot-kick smashed against the bar and was cleared.

Five minutes later in first-half injury time, Simba Mlambo headed in a Martin cross from close range, the ball looping over Bulman.

North Leigh pulled a goal back two minutes into the second half when McNish clipped the ball home from five yards after good work by substitute Morgan Williams.

A minute later, the Millers were level as Sanders headed home Michael Hopkins’s left-wing cross at the far post.

But North Leigh were unable to add to their tally.

And they could have lost the match late on with Mlambo hitting a post from two yards, before failing to score with only Bulman to beat.

North Leigh: Bulman, Else, Hopkins, Turk (Bowles 70), Gunn, Caton, Sanders, McNish, Cook, Osborne-Ricketts, Woodley (Williams HT) Subs not used: Westlake, Eadle.

Attendance: 50.
