Seasiders keep their cool to see off Green

DAWLISH Town stalwart Craig Fenner might be worried for his starting spot after the Seasiders beat nine-man Longwell Green Sports 3-1 at Sandy Lane on Saturday.

The suspended defender watched his team-mates put on a master-class as the defence hardly looked troubled and only conceded their first in three games from a penalty.

Manager Jeff Evans was delighted with his side's turnaround in form, and they are now undefeated in three games.

Evans said: "We've got everyone back and they've got their heads down concentrating on the task at hand.

"We've had so many players out and sometimes I wondered how we'd fill the bench. After today though, Craig Fenner should be concerned he won't get back in."

Evans also praised his side's control as Longwell had two sent-off for over aggressive tackles.

"It would've been easy for them to lose their heads with the tackles that were flying in," added the manager.

"But they were disciplined and professional throughout which is also why we've had a change in fortunes."

Longwell started the brighter of the two teams, hitting the post early on but Dawlish took the lead in the 12th minute when Radley Veale broke down the right.

He unselfishly pulled the ball back for Kris Davis to slot home his second of the season.

Town keeper Luke Purnell gave the home side a scare when his mis-hit clearance fell to Longwell's Chris Alway, but Alway couldn't finish with an open goal.

Dawlish doubled their lead just before half-time. Gary Fisher went on a winding run down the left wing and played a neat ball to Sean Adderley who was tripped in the box.

Dean Stevens saw the resulting penalty saved but smashed in the rebound to score his 18th of the season.

Longwell pulled one back after the break when the ball spilled out of Purnell's hands and the goalkeeper pulled down Dave Parnell whilst scrambling to recover. Chris Dauncey sent Purnell the wrong way to make it 2-1.

Shortly after Fisher capped off a man-of-the-match performance with the winner.

The Longwell defence attempted a clearance but it crashed off the Dawlish skipper and floated over the stranded Mark Britton to seal the win.

Late on Longwell lost their discipline — Andy Finch received a second booking for a bad foul and Parnell was lucky to stay on after a reckless challenge. Ross Vickerman was red-carded for the visitors for a two-footed challenge which ended Adderley's match.

Evans said: "We're putting a nice run together now and were one mistake in judgement from having three straight clean sheets."

Dawlish travel to Radstock Town tomorrow night.
