Bewdley Town 4 Uttoxeter Town 4

Saturday, 3rd Sep 2022

Fans were served up an 8 goal thriller at Ribbesford Meadows as home supporters were well and truly put through the wringer by the Riversides who pulled off a massive comeback to take a point from a game that seemed to slipping away from them.

The home side started brightly and took the lead when Ben Worthington finished well from a Dylan Hart flick on. But Uttoxeter weren’t done and started to play some good football which ultimately led to then scoring an equaliser , and before too long they took the lead after an error in the Bewdley defence was pounced upon . As the game played out towards half time the visitors added a third and the half time whistle couldn’t come quick enough for Bewdley.

Early in the second half proceedings the Staffordshire visitors added a fourth  and it looked game over for Bewdley. However , they steadied themselves and reduced the deficit when in form Worthington added his second. The Bewdley coaches “rolled the dice “ and brought on Kyonn Evans and Alex Quaynor off the bench . The home side attached with more purpose and it was Quaynor who grabbed the third and suddenly the improbable  comeback looked possible.  When Evans converted from close range to level the scores the crowd and players celebrated wildly and even started to think a win might be possible , but despite great pressure and going really close on a few occasions, the refs whistle blew for full time and a fine entertaining game of football was brought to an end with both teams adding a point to their season tally .
