Eight-minute slump costs Supermarine

By Ned Payne » Swindon Advertiser

 

Three goals in eight minutes all but sunk Swindon Supermarine as they lost 4-2 to Nuneaton Town at a sodden Hunts Copse tonight. Following a goal-less first half in which Supermarine had the better chances as well as the majority of the play, the Southern League clash was turned upside down at the start of the second period.

 

Chris Dillon crashed into the roof of the net from 18 yards after 53 minutes before a Leigh Henry own goal saw the advantage doubled. Adam Walker made it 3-0 on 61 minutes with a delightful turn and shot and the game was then effectively over. Dillon nodded in his second of the night midway through the half to deepen Supermarine’s misery, although the hosts came fighting back in the latter stages.

 

Nick Stanley tapped in from close range on 83 minutes after Joe Harris’ initial shot had been saved. And Leigh Henry atoned for his earlier error by bundling in a corner after 86 minutes to make it 4-2.
