MINNOWS DO THE BUSINESS

- By Greg Plummer

MINNOWS Mildenhall Town pulled off one of the upsets of the round.

Dan Brown scored the only goal of the game 14 minutes into the second half, but in truth it could have been more as the Suffolk outfit became the first team to win at The Walks in all competitio­ns this season.

The Bostik League Division One North side were better than their high-flying Southern League hosts all over the park.

Linnets goalkeeper Tommy Rix, making his first start of the season, stood between Mildenhall and a healthy halftime advantage.

The home shotstoppe­r pulled off a stunning double save to deny Jacob Brown and Danny Crow as the visitors belied their league status. It took Lynn all of 55 minutes to force Mildenhall goalkeeper Sam Roach into a serious save when he pulled off a stunning point-blank stop to foil Tom Ward from a corner.

A few minutes later, the visitors took the lead when Dan Brown shrugged off the attentions of Ward before volleying into the roof of the net.

Lynn enjoyed plenty of possession in the final 20 minutes but were unable to break down a resilient Mildenhall rearguard.
