Full Time: Dinnington Town 2-3 RHP Sports & Social

Dinnington Town slipped to a surprising 3-2 defeat at the Blackout13.com Arena on Saturday afternoon, despite a spirited performance from an under-strength side.

The visitors, RHP Sports & Social, struck early, taking the lead inside the opening minute when Soloman Miller converted from the penalty spot to make it 1-0 in the first minute. Their advantage was doubled in the 15th minute as Clownes Steele found the net, putting Dinnington Town under pressure at 2-0 down.

Brad Kerr gave the hosts hope midway through the half, pulling a goal back in the 26th minute to reduce the deficit to 2-1. However, RHP Sports & Social responded quickly, restoring their two-goal cushion just five minutes later when Kieran Job struck to make it 3-1 at half-time.

After the interval, Dinnington Town looked to fight their way back into the contest and were rewarded in the 63rd minute as Michael Golland scored to narrow the gap to 3-2.

The home side pushed forward in search of an equaliser and were handed a golden chance in the final minute when Brad Kerr stepped up from the penalty spot, but his effort was saved by the RHP Sports & Social goalkeeper to deny Dinnington Town a dramatic draw.

By the final whistle, it finished 3-2, with Dinnington Town left to reflect on a disappointing result in front of their home supporters.
