LEVI PENALTY ENOUGH FOR TOWN
Tiverton Town narrowly beat Gosport Borough. It turned out to be a very tight contest indeed.
The only goal deciding the tie was a Levi Landricombe first half spot kick.
The best chance created, besides the penalty, came through Landricombe whose strike from just outside the area rattled the crossbar. This early dominance led to the referee's biggest decision of the game, a penalty that came from a cross that was deflected by the hand of Gosport player Joe Lea.
The penalty was despatched by Landricombe putting the ball right of Patrick O'Flaherty and put his Tiverton side into the lead right on the stroke of half time.
The importance of the game grew even greater for the Boro as they needed the points.
The second half started and it was a massively uneventful half in truth. Gosport threw the jugular at Tiverton, however, the defensive wall held firm to seal an important win heading into their run in.
For the Hampshire side it was a valuable three points dropped and they fall to only goal difference keeping them above the relegation zone heading into their home game against Walton Casuals.
