Subject: Bridport Reserves (H)

 

After last weekends 5-0 win at home to Portland United Reserves in the Dorset Senior Trophy Quarter Final we this weekend returned to league action as we welcomed Bridport Reserves to Park Road for our last home game of 2025...

 

The first half started quickly but not for the Royals it was the bees he got ahead with 2 very well taken goals/not so good defending on the 8th minute it was 0-1 when the Bridport #7 ran through like the whole Blandford defence and fired into the bottom corner. (0-1) then it was 2 for the visitors when on the 20th minute the #9 turned and shot excellently in the box but not very well defended into the bottom corner. (0-2)

  

HALFTIME: ROYALS 0-2 BRIDPORT RESERVES 

 

Wow where to start with the second half on 49th minute ELLIOTT MANSON made it (1-2) after a corner found Logan Laird whose header was saved but then scrambled in by MANSON then 4 minutes later it was 2-2 when Jake Kelly found Manson with a excellent ball he then squared it to JIMMY FRY who took a touch and put it in! (2-2) then on the 63rd minute the Bridport Reserves #7 put them back infront with a worldie from range! Which went over Goad in the goal and in! (2-3) then 5 minutes later it was 3-3 when Manson was fouled in the box and JIMMY FRY stepped up and buried then penalty bottom corner! (3-3) which is how it stayed until the 89th minute when THEO SKAKICH done excellent then from the outside corner of the box fired into the far bottom corner to make it 4-3! 

 

What a mental game!!!
