CLINICAL HOLMES SEES OFF YELLOWS

- By David Emes

WIMBORNE T 1 TIVERTON T 0

WIMBORNE'S Toby Holmes scored the only goal to dent the visitors’ play-off aspiration­s.

It came on 43 minutes following a mistake, which let Holmes through on the right channel. His clinical finish gave keeper Joe Perry no chance.

Almost immediatel­y, Levi Landricomb­e tried an audacious overhead which Wimborne's keeper Gerard Benfield just managed to claw away.

Wimborne's defence, marshalled by impressive new signing Matt Oldring, dealt effectivel­y with Tivvy's long-ball game.

However, on 87 minutes an athletic one-handed save by Benfield led to an almighty scramble, and Tiverton were denied by the post and Wimborne's skipper James Stokoe.
