Dorchester extended their winning streak to ten matches with a comeback victory over playoff hopeful SC Inkberrow on Saturday. The Magpies secured a 3-1 win at home in front of 163 spectators, with goals from Ollie Haste and a brace by Ethan Taylor propelling them to the top of the league standings.

The match began with Inkberrow pressing early. Ryan Hall, Dorchester’s goalkeeper, had to deal with a header that went over his crossbar before the hosts cleared a dangerous cross from visiting midfielder Freddie Beale. Around the 15-minute mark, Inkberrow full-back Harvey-Joe Bertrand appeared to be fouled, but the referee dismissed the appeals for a foul.

Inkberrow took the lead in the 21st minute when Piers Walton, demonstrating skilled footwork, found Connor Stanley unmarked. Stanley made no mistake with the finish, scoring his seventh goal of the season. The visitors held the advantage for much of the first half, with Dorchester’s Matty Burrows nearly equalizing soon after Stanley’s goal, but his effort went over the crossbar.

Dorchester responded in the 33rd minute when captain Ollie Haste headed home a well-delivered cross from Beale to level the score. Following this, Tom Purrington’s skillful dribbling resulted in a Dorchester corner kick. From the set piece, Haste was once again the target, forcing Inkberrow goalkeeper Brendan Bunn to make a close-range save.

The second half saw Dorchester take control, with Ethan Taylor scoring twice to secure the win, though specific details of the goals were not noted in the early reports. The victory propels Dorchester to the summit of the league and keeps their winning run intact as they pursue promotion. Inkberrow, despite the loss, remain in playoff contention as the season progresses.
