Hamann is He-Man to rescue the Rams

- By Mark Brennan

IN GLORIOUS sunshine at Holloways Park, Beaconsfie­ld and Dorchester fought out an evenlycont­ested stalemate.

The first minute saw the visitors’ Alex Stafie bring out a fine save from the Rams’ Nick Hamann whilst Charlie Losaso, for the home side , saw an early effort deflected wide.

The Rams took the lead on 10 minutes when Tony Mendy headed home a Louis Stead cross though Dorchester were back on level terms on 18 minutes when the lively Aaron Rodriguez twisted and turned and saw his effort bounce off the post and hit Nick Hamman on the back and go in.

Magpies keeper Kingsley Ratham then made fine saves to deny Mendy in the 21st and 29th minutes whilst Rodriguez again hit the home post on 30 minutes and he also saw a scooped effort tipped over by Hamman who then saved well from Billy Lowes.

The early second half again saw Mendy denied by Ratham before a 58th minute cross from Losasso also found him in plenty of space to nod home his second of the game.

Hamann then saved a fine effort by Cameron Murray whilst Mayo Balogun cleared another one off the line for the home side but eventually Dorchester equalised courtesy of a 83rd minute deflected shot by Rodriguez.
