However, Lions failed to keep the scores level for more than five minutes. After giving away a needless free-kick on the edge of the penalty area, they didn’t challenge the resulting kick and the Belstone defender looped his header into the far corner.
The Lions struck back again just after half-time, with Rose registering his second of the game.
Yet again Lions couldn’t consolidate and try to build on their equaliser. From our throw-on, a mix-up between Sammy Letzer and Nathan Anders led to another free-kick on the edge of the area. The kick was swung in and flew past the excellent James Harpin and into the back of the net.
Lions pressed on in search of another deserved equaliser. They created a number of good chances but, as has been so often the case this season, couldn’t convert. Then in the last minute another defensive laps in concentration allowed Belstone to break away and score their fourth and game-killing goal.
