Tilbury 4-3 Cheshunt

From Chadfields

Ryman One North

 

TEN-MAN Tilbury came from behind to secure a thrilling win against Cheshunt and climb up to third in the league.

The Dockers had trailed 3-2 at the break, in what was a frantic first-half, but they came back from the brink to win in the closing stages, with an own goal.

Tilbury had gone behind early on when Luke Marshall struck for the visitors, with the home side dealt an additional blow when Jimmy Cook replaced the injured Bradley Webb.

But three minutes after the change, Emiel Aiken had draw Tilbury level but that was short-lived.

Marcus Milner and Tom Bruno grabbed goals for the away side to hand them an advantage with 26 minutes on the clock.

But Kurt Smith stuck home a penalty 10 minutes before half-time to bring Tilbury back into contention.

And it was the substitute Cook who levelled the match up shortly after the interval with a neatly taken finish.

But the dismissal of home goalkeeper Clarke Bogard put Tilbury up against it.

But Gary Henty’s men held out and an own goal from Luke Illsley saw the home players go wild.
