Bromsgrove Sporting 3 (Shaw 9′, Freeman 32′, Maye 70′)
Leiston 2 (Sayer 69′ Rayworth 82′)
Bromsgrove Sporting made it 12 league games unbeaten with a dramatic victory over Leiston.
Goals from Billy Shaw and Kieron Freeman gave Sporting a two goal lead at the interval, before a serious injury to Brad Bood early in the second half led to a long delay.
Harvey Sayer pulled one back for the visitors, before Simeon Maye restored the two goal advantage in the 70th minute.
Cameron Rayworth scored the game’s fifth goal in the 82nd minute, but the Rouslers held on for a hard fought victory.
Joao Rangel had an early effort well saved by Tony Breeden, before Shaw netted a screamer with his left foot – that went in via the post – in the ninth minute.
The second came in the 32nd minute; a Chris Hussey corner was headed by Ollie Harrison to Freeman, who knocked the ball in from yards out.
The injury to Bood occurred in the 54th minute, as he delivered a cross into the box – it appeared to be a serious ankle injury, and he was stretchered off after a near 10 minute delay.
Sayer slotted home from close range in the 69th minute, before Maye netted a minute later after Shaw’s initial shot was saved.
Rayworth scored with his head with eight minutes remaining, and he had another shot saved by Breeden two minutes later, as Sporting held out for a big three points.
