Pershore 4 Feckenham 3

THE dismissal of striker Brian Powell capped a miserable night for Feckenham as they threw away a two goal half-time lead.

Powell gave the Millers the lead in the first half but his frustration as the hosts fought back earned him a red card for dissent in the 86th minute.

The forward's headed goal from a corner in the 27th minute was cancelled out by a strike from Pershore's Jonathan Gregory seven minutes later.

But Feckenham looked to have finished Pershore off with two goals just before half time, from Powell's strike partner Andy Underwood.

The first was an emphatic diving header from a near post cross, and the second came from point blank range two minutes later when he was left unmarked in the six yard box to head home again.

But Feckenham wilted in the second half and the hosts took advantage. They got an early goal in the 52nd minute when tricky winger Chris Allen was clattered in the box and striker Simon Brain converted the penalty.

Six minutes later they were level, Allen making room on the left and lashing a powerful shot across keeper Nigel Watson. And Pershore finished the game on top with a glancing Paul Concannon header in the 85th minute.
