Somerset County League Division 2W
Churchill Club 70 4, Middlezoy Rovers 4
MIDDLEZOY Rovers’ promotion hopes were severely dented after three late goals saw Churchill Club 70 snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat.
Rovers took the lead on 15 minutes when a shot from full-back Craig Robinson was palmed into the path of Craig Wright who tapped into an empty net.
The home side gotthemselves level on 40 minutes when a swift counter-attack resulted in a good finish into the top corner but Middlezoy’s lead was quickly restored just before half-time by Dan Luce scoring acrobatically from close range.
In the second half, Luce scored again,this time from the edge of the penalty area, and Wright got his second on 74 minutes with a neatlob over the onrushing goalkeeper.
But Middlezoy capitulated in the last seven minutes, conceding three goals to throw away two points.
The resultleaves Rovers seven points behind leaders Congresbury with a game in hand.
They travelto Worle tonight(Tuesday) and away to Westland on Saturday.
