Hele Rovers 3 Kingsteignton Ath 3

Kingsteignton Athletic visited Hele Rovers' Acorn Centre, with both teams needing three points, the game started slowly with Hele Rovers taking the lead inside the opening 10 minutes, Dejan Maric won a simple header from inside the 6 yard box after some slack marking from Kingsteignton, Kingsteignton levelled after 25 minutes, when Liam Dore burst through midfield before being hauled down on the edge of the box, the resulting free-kick was taken by captain Rik Reynolds, who bent the ball into the top corner, though the shot took a deflection off of a Hele defender, which left ex-Kingsteignton keeper Sean Hunter stranded. Kingsteignton took the lead five minutes before the break, Dore again the architect picking up the ball in midfield, before slotting to Paul Russell who laid the ball to Gareth Law who smashed in from seven or eight yards.The second half Kingsteignton started well and had a few chances to entend their lead, but for good defending by Hele, Hele took the lead after scoring two goals in quick succession, Dejan Maric claimed the second goal though it took several deflections on the way to Kingsteignton's net. The third goal was taken superbly by 17 year old Brook Ward, who burst past Luke Bates and smashed the ball past Russell Faulkner after catching Kingsteignton with a counter attack. Kingsteignton dug in and found an equalliser late on after Rik Renolds cross was met by substitute Myke Sanders bullet header. Kings could have snatched it late on Gareth Law hitting the post.
