Monkton Swifts 3

Pennar Robins 2

Arron Goldsmith struck an 85th minute winner to earn Monkton Swifts the bragging rights in this south county derby.

The visitors were awarded a penalty in the second minute that Paul Lowe easily despatched.

Straight from the kick-off and Michael Canton equalised for the Swifts.

Ben Nicholas restored the Robins’ lead in the seventh minute before Mikey Boswell buried an equaliser as the score line read 2-2 at half time.

As this derby clash ebbed and flowed it took a dramatic twist at the end when Goldsmith rifled home the winner from the edge of the box, and there was no way back for the battling Robins.
