Tuesday's First Division South action review

By David Watters

Evo-Stik NPL First Division South

Ten-man Bedworth United came from 4-1 down to earn a remarkable point at Sheffield FC in Tuesday's only game in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League's First Division South, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

After going ahead through Daniel Dubidat's goal after eight minutes the Greenbacks then found themselves up against it when Dubidat was dismissed for allegedly kicking out at a player on the floor with the visitors already trailing 3-1.

There was no hint of the drama to follow when Dubidat converted Mitch Piggon's knockdown. But Sheffield levelled from the penalty spot after 23 minutes through Zeph Thomas and he blasted the hosts in front on 33 minutes and completed his hat-trick on the hour-mark.

After Dubidat's red card Jamie Hadfield extended the home side's lead yet further and it looked likely to be a dismal night for the Greenbacks. But Jon Bukasa pulled one back three minutes from time before Piggon struck two dramatic injury-time strikes, direct a free-kick and then from the penalty spot to stun Club.
