An entertaining game at Crossford Bridge saw Old Alts A come from 2-1 down with a minute of normal time remaining to take the game 3-2 and secure all three points against  Mary Dendy .

Old Alts A's Dave Howard under pressure from Mary Dendy's Gareth Worrall It was  an even first half hour before David Howard set up Dale Peters for the opener but Dendy  game back strongly and should have equalised five minutes later when Neil Hodgkinson got on the end of a James Monaghan  freekick  but could only direct his effort straight into Alts keeper Ash Walkers arms from point blank range. Matt Morris did find the net on 37 minutes taking a ball from Martin Brunker  he jinked his way into the penalty area  before calmly dummying the goalkeeper to leave him stranded on the ground and rolling the ball into an unguarded net.

Alts started the second half with real purpose and both Dale Peters and David Howard will both feel they should have done better with early chances  but it was Dendy who took the lead  Nick Brunker fooling everyone as he shaped to cross the ball at the near post and proceeded to slide the ball between keeper  Ash Walker’s legs  and into the net.

Spurred on by the impressive Dean Duigan Alts had a chance to get back in the game barely five minutes later as referee Mike Clulow adjuded Dendy centre half Ryan Fallon had handled  the ball on the line in an attempt to keep the ball out and awarded a penalty kick. Duigan took responsibility himself  but sent a tame effort low to the goalkeepers left and Matt Robinson saved well.

James Curbishley, Paul Cronshaw and Josh Wilkinson all wasted good chances  to extend  Dendy’s lead despite most of the pressure coming from the home side  but with a minute remaining of normal time Dean Duigan redeemed himself  from his earlier penalty miss with a thundering  header at the far post  from Sailesh Vara’s corner to equalise. With their tails up Alts continued to press and it came as now real surprise when they scored again .  

  In the 7th minute of stoppage time Dale Peters stooped low to nod home the winner from Jordan Jackson’s cross.
