A thriller was won in the dying minutes by YM, after coming from behind twice to win this game.

YM were playing the better football, and passing the ball around on a difficult surface.

After going 1-0 down after 20 minutes, YM equalised two minutes before half time through Dan Vinten.

Just as the half time whistle was about to go, Worthing delivered a cruel blow and scored to make it 2-1.

YM started slowly in the 2nd half, but still looked like they would win the game.

Defender Stuart Barber was pushed up front and it made all the difference.

Worthing couldn't deal with his pace, and he equalised with 20 minutes to go.

Barber then grabbed another to give ym a 3-2 advantage, But YM couldn't hold on for long.

With 5 minutes to go, completely against the run of play, Worthing equalised and thought they had stolen a point.

They hadn't read the script however, and Ed Barnes popped up in the box to smash home with a minute to go, to give YM all three points.

Team: Morris, Bell, Goddard, Barber, Vinten, Paske (Capt), Gladdish, Collins, Jones, Miller, Abrehart.
