Loughborough Dynamo 2 vs 5 Belper Town

For the second succesive weekend, Loughborough not only let in 5 but had also had their goalkeeper sent off in what is becoming a very dissapointing February for the club.

The day started badly when a heavy touch by James Martin in the Dynamos goal allowed Ben Watkiss to tackle the ball into the net on 17 minutes, nine minutes later Laurence Constable was left with time and space to slot home to make it two. It got worse on the half hour when Steadman slotted home but Mark Shelton restored some faith before the interval.

The second half was much better for Loughborough but not before Dominic Allen all but ended the match on 55 minutes when he was allowed an age inside the box to fire home. Dynamos kept probing and never gave up, Leandro Browne and Alfie Taylor both missing when looked easier to score before Will Dennis fired across Haystead for a consolation.

Loughborough kept pushing and it was that naivity that cost them another goal conceded when in the dying seconds Watkiss ran through one on one to be felled by the keeper Martin who's afternoon got worse as he was shown the red card. Substitute Charlie Hornby got fingertips to Alex Steadman's penalty but couldn't keep it out.
