Radford are sunk by two own goals

STRUGGLING Radford were pipped 3-2 at home by Radcliffe Olympic after conceding two own goals.

The first came in the first minute, the second in added time. In between, Radford took the lead with goals either side of the break from Combe and Ratcliffe, before sub Ryan Smith levelled late on.

Olympic, who had Reggie Royes replacing the suspended Adam Whitehead, took the lead when Matt Smith's mistimed header looped over the keeper.

Radford began to threaten through Louis Radcliffe and Jarrod Russell up front and keeper Joe McCormack twice saved goal-bound efforts from Russell.

Ross Lawrence shot wide of an unguarded open goal before the home side equalised on 41 minutes. A Radford corner was only cleared to the edge of the area to Antoine Combes who drilled the ball low and hard into the net.

Radcliffe had a great opportunity to restore their lead as Tian Walton took advantage of some poor defending, but with just Swift to beat, lifted the ball into the arms of the keeper.

Radford's Ben Wallace looked certain to score, only to be denied by a last-ditch challenge from West.

Radford, looking dangerous on the break, took the lead on 71 minutes when Louis Radcliffe fired into the bottom corner.

Radcliffe hit back on 89 minutes. Swift appeared to have saved from Ryan Smith, but the ball slipped over the line.

In time added on, Burgess drove the ball low and hard into a crowded area where it was deflected in by a defender.

Greenwood Meadows were pipped 3-2 at home by Ellistown, despite goals from Gregory and Wheeldon.

Gedling MW went down 5-3 at Holbrook Sports. Chris Freestone scored twice for the losers.
