Match Report: vs Epworth Town[A] 1st round of Bricton cup

Dale Park were arguably on the wrong end of some bad refereeing decisions but, beaten by a lucky
Epworth team 3-2.Despite the first half been close the score was nil-nil at half time with Jack Lacey-Hatton and Matty Harvey having the best of the first half chances.Epworth had a few chances but Ash Finney was never that tested in the Dale Park goal.The Second half began at quicker pace with Epworth taking the lead 10 minutes into the second half and doubling there lead 5 minutes later.
There was then an amazing Dale comeback with Elliott Brown scoring midway through the second half after good work from Connor Durnian.A little later a contender from Lewis Clark for a goal of the season.Lewis curling free kick beat the wall, the goalie and 2 defenders on the line!Epworth won the game with a late goal which could have being offside after Ash Finney tipped the ball on to the crossbar but with Epworths forward steaming in for the rebound.Epworth could have scored again later on when they missed a penalty after a foul by Kris Collins.They then hang on to win .
The Dale return to league action later on this week when they host the side 1 place below them Gunness and Crosby.
