Recap
The last time these two teams met, it resulted in a more than comfortable win for Duno against a Wellspring side who have continued to struggle since losing some lads to university at the end of the summer. With Duno having agreed to hit the top division for the new season this was surely going to be another comfortable night for them……
Liam Watson gave them the lead in the 5th minute, but Murray Tupman grabbed a surprise leveller for Wellspring 4 minutes later. Steven Nevins restored the Duno lead a minute after, before Luke Cope and Nathan Wilkinson shared a goal apiece in the 15th minute to make it 3-2 to Duno. Wellspring turned it around before the break and lead 4-3 when the whistle went as Mike Cocks grabbed two goals in the latter stages of the half to leave the shock result still a distinct possibility.
The second half was a tighter affair as Wellspring worked to hold onto their lead, but their defenses were breached 10 minutes from time when Watson got his second to make it 4-4. Rather than folding at this point, Wellspring got themselves back in front through Wilkinson’s second, and they sealed one of the shock results of the season when Cocks grabbed his third in the final stages. They won’t get chance to do it again next season though……
