Basford United 3, Bamber Bridge 2: Heartbreak for Brig as Basford edge thriller
A late own goal by Will Squires saw Bamber Bridge lose at Basford United in the NPL Premier Division.
Ashley Chambers’ double either side of the interval was cancelled out by a late Lucas Weaver brace.
Kacy Butter-field latched on to a long ball and unself-ishly laid the ball to Chambers, who rolled into an empty net.
On 51 minutes, it was Chambers who made it 2-0 with a well-placed header from Prince Mancinelli’s cross.
Brig had a lifeline on 73 minutes when Weaver was expertly found by skipper Michael Potts before unleashing an effort past Deeney.
Ten minutes later, it was 2-2 when Weaver burst forward and fired past Deeney. However, it was heartbreak for Brig in added time when Tyler Dacres cross was turned into his own net by Squires.
