Match Report

The under-18s ended their league season with a narrow defeat in a seven-goal thriller with Dunstable Town on Wednesday night at Pancake Lane.

Callum Moore put the Green side into an early lead with a 5th minute goal. Two goals in four minutes midway through the half put Dunstable in front, but Daniel Payne equalised five minutes before the break to send the teams in at half time with the scores level at 2-2. Dunstable went back in front midway through the second half, but an 85th minute goal from Ed Thackeray levelled the scores again. In an action-packed period of stoppage time Leverstock came close to a winner, only being denied by a fantastic save from the visiting keeper, but then Dunstable attacked at the other end and found the winning goal.

The result leaves Ross Bargent’s side in 7th place out of 9 teams, where they will finish barring an unlikely series of results. They still have two games to play in the Merton Shield, the first being away to Letchworth Garden City Eagles next Tuesday.
