Russell nets late Bears equaliser

Southern Counties East

-

A late Ashley Russell strike salvaged a point for Bearsted in a 3-3 draw with Fisher in the Southern Counties East Premier Division last Saturday.

Bearsted led Fisher twice but trailed with a minute to go before substitute Russell headed home a Graeme Andrews cross.

Keenan Mooney had put the home side in front on 16 minutes, latching onto Andy Foster’s pass and finishing emphatical­ly.

Nine minutes before half-time, Scott Watson headed against the bar for Fisher and Tyrell McLeod-Bentley nodded in the rebound.

Bearsted, though, led at halftime thanks to a simple finish from Bradley Webb after some neat build-up.

Trey Williams equalised for Fisher midway through the second half and Bearsted then trailed to an Isa Hussein free-kick before Russell’s late interventi­on.

Bearsted visit Cray Valley tomorrow (Saturday) before hosting Lordswood on Bank Holiday Monday (both 3pm). Bearsted: Taylor, Foster, Lyall, Andrews, Perkins, Holliday, West, Brown ( Cox), Mooney, ( Russell), Webb, Flisher ( Grant). Attendance: 65.

Snodland Town edged a seven-goal thriller against Meridian in Division 1.

They led 3- 0 at one stage and played

Fixtures: Saturday: Bradford v Oldham, Charlton v Bolton, Chesterfie­ld against 10 men for more than half the game but ended up holding on for the points.

Tom Cackett opened the scoring on 15 minutes, converting David Sherwood’s through ball.

Sherwood linked up with Aaron Chilies to make it 2- 0 and then scored from the penalty spot after Chilies was fouled.

Two yellow cards saw Meridian’s Scott Mulholland dismissed although they pulled a goal back before half-time through Nathaniel Ward.

The visitors were back in it when Chris McGinty scored a penalty nine minutes into the second half but Cackett restored Snodland’s two-goal cushion.

Another penalty, again scored by McGinty, made it 4-3 and set up a nervy finale but Snodland withstood late Meridian pressure.

Snodland are away to Holmesdale on Saturday before hosting Eltham Palace on Monday.
